I think it’s safe to say that for our comic book geek generation, Wally West is The Flash. But for all the old timers out there, I bet it’s Barry Allen all the way. I can’t really blame them because the deceased Flash was totally awesome. Observe:

Before we start with the reviews, let me just acknowledge the totally awesome conclusion of Friday Night Fights — Uppercut!!! brought to us by the wicked Bahlactus! Cosmic high five, bruh! Now, let me proceed with reviewing 2 weeks worth of new comics. YAY!

It’s kind of weird at first, but once you let the idea settle in, you’ll… nah. There’s nothing like “new comic smell” and the sound of flipping the 4-color pages. Interesting initiative, though.
ITEM! “Iron Man” teaser trailer now online! And it was earlier than expected! It’s basically the same piece of video awesomeness that was shown during the San Diego Comic-Con, but I’m not complaining. I nominate it for a Nobel Prize for Awesome.
ITEM! The 20th Annual Harvey Awards ceremony has concluded! Winners include Ed Brubaker for Best Writer, “Daredevil” for Best Continuing or Limited Series, Frank Quitely for Best Artist, and Civil War #1 for Best Single Issue or Sto… wait, WHAT?!
I got an email from Jeff Yang, Editor-in-Chief of Secret Identities, that contains exciting news for Asian American comic book creators:
