DC Retroactive: The Flash - The '70s #1


DC Retroactive: The Flash - The 70's #1
 This is so sad. I love Barry Allen’s Flash. However, both tales are wrought with problems. In the lost tale, Gorilla Grodd hatches a plan to make Allen think his wife cheated with him by creating an ape-human hybrid with Iris Allen. 

   Then in the reprint tale, we have Superman and Flash fighting against each other for the fate of humanity. First of all, I don’t think this was a reprint from Flash, but from DC Showcase Presents. (It is!!!) That mistake is forgivable. It’s the convoluted science behind how and why the duo is traveling through time that’s very lame. Normally, DC did a much better job at having their stories chop full of fantasy and real science. Here, the author explains time travel and then contradicts himself at least twice through the course of the tale.

 Very poor offerings. Not impressed.

 Not Worth Consuming.

Rating: 4 out of 10 stars.
