Shit fucking sucks, but bump.
boomp
Last one of the thread. Any reading bumps appreciated.
That's it for now! We'll continue the run next thread.
>>145484138Thanks anon. Rereading this stuff has been nostalgic. Loebs is probably the main reason I love Wally and Linda’s dynamic as the two started as acquaintances and begrudging friends before becoming this transcendent love the universe can’t even destroy.
Larocque drew the best Wally out of costume imo and later the best Flash look when he got the upgrade.
>>145484048Kek I love this psychiatrist.
>>145484281You're kidding, right? This art kinda sucks.
>>145481367i cant tell if the art on the bottom is good and just creepy or shit
>>145486890I'm not, and it is good.
>>145481351Reading bump.
>>145488087Not really.
>>145481351Thanks
Is the Grodd story in this thread?
>>145481351I'm still catching up with the older threads, but thanks for posting these, anon. The Baron run had so many weird choices, although I assume Wally's dad being a manhunter was an editorial decision.
>>145493068DC editorial was pushing the Manhunters HARD in the years immediately post-Crisis. There was a(n underrated) series written by John Ostrander, they were featured in some miniseries and early attempts at "events", and random supporting characters were getting retcons to connect them to this ancient hidden history of the organization.
>>145493068>>145493245>Booster Gold's manager>Obsidian's girlfriend>Wally's dad>one of them being a Pan imposter after killing them>like they killed actual Pan from the greek myths ages ago and impersonated him lmao>Lana fucking Lang and Pete Ross>Laurel Kent1988 was a wild year, Millennium was fucking BAD
>>145493394Wasn't it Lana and Pete's families and not them specifically?
>>145484138thank you
>>145493394And then DC realized no one cared and largely never mentioned any of that shit again.
>>145495061No, it was them. They just explained it away as a Manhunter had come to earth when Supes did to manipulate all the children in Smallville to make them Manhunters lol.
>>145498105Has there ever been any other time that DC pushed an element of their setting THAT hard only to abandon it so quickly when no one cared?
EVERYONE ON /co/ NEEDS TO READ THE NEXT THREAD!IT'S GOING TO HAVE BOTH AN AWESOME GORILLA GRODD ARC, PLUS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGLE ISSUES IN COMICS HISTORY!
>>145500481Bullshit.
