21:00 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Is that....? My god, it is. Even when he's not writing for Green Lantern, Geoff Johns is still setting things up! Also, to this day, I don't know how I feel about Barry becoming Speed Jesus. But, I will admit, although I prefer Wally, Barry is still pretty cool.
Reverse Flash: What if every bad thing that happened to you was orchestrated by one person? Flash: You...you did it didn’t you… you killed my DOG! Reverse Flash: Er… I think you missed the bigger picture Barry… Barry: I’ll avenge you Mr. Noodles! Reverse Flash: Are you being serious right now? Barry: Hey, I loved that dog. Reverse Flash: He wasn’t the only one I killed Barry! Barry: (Gasps) You killed Miss Sprinkles too?! RF: What?! Barry: My cat. She disappeared so I assumed... RF: No! Your parents gave her away because she was trashing your house! Barry: OK! So you GAVE us Miss Sprinkles to makes us miserab-! RF: Try again… Barry: Umm… you killed my parrot? RF: You never owned a parrot!! Barry: Oh yeah… RF: Lets try this again… I am responsible for the very BAD thing that happened to you AS A CHILD. Barry: The time my headphones got tangled? RF: No! Barry: That time I stepped on a Lego? Reverse Flash: NO! Barry: That time I fell and broke my arm? Reverse Flash: N-! Oh wait... that was me. Barry: You disgust me. RF: STILL MISSING THE POINT! Remember! The TRAUMATIZING event during your childhood!!! Barry: Oh...you mean… my Mom…. RF: Yeees… now your getting it… Barry: My Mom... My Mom letting me watch Veggietales as she was cutting up veggtables! Traumatizing. Still don’t eat veggies to this day. RF: That’s it. Your going act so stupid?! I’ll just come out and say it. I killed your- Oof!! (Gets hit by Wally) Barry: What? Wally! He was in the middle of monologuing! You know that’s unsportsmanlike! Wally: Sorry. You guys were taking, like, forever. What was he monologuing about? Barry: He killed my dog. Wally: Wow. What a monster. Barry: I know right?! Noodles be avenged. (The End)
Aren’t these are ALL the kind of stuffs RF would’ve done throughout his childhood, I mean this is the tip of iceberg if you referring like a list of sort of things.
I remember watching the tv show for the first time in summer of 2015, and that got me into The Flash comics, with The Flash Rebirth being the first Flash comic I've ever read.
Grandpa C saaaame! Deadpool got me interested in comics, but this story was a good jumping on point to the flash. Hes the only DC character that I've completely read from Silver age to now. It's so good. The panels at the very beginning where professor zoom has his lightning rod and slices 1 scientists throat and stabs the other scientist. That immediately hooked me. Ive never forgotten that.
oh my god, this is one of my favorite Flash stories, if I'm remembering correctly, this is *the* story that got me into the Flash. Absolutely love it :)
This was the first Flash comic that i ever read. It didnt really make sense because I didnt have any context. But then i went back and started reading from the silver age, and then the rest from there. Then I reread this, then continued with rebirth and holy shit. And I think its gotta be why i love the Flash so much. This story takes everything and throws it at you.
I will never forget the first time I read crisis on infinite earths and saw Barry Allen for the first time disappear stopping the anti-monitors weapon. It was one of the most impactful moments of the crisis and in the DC Universe ⚡️⚡️
I'm sure you know but Wolfman LOVED Barry and set up easy ways to bring him back if DC wanted to... then DC created the Speed Force and made it even more simple.
So, my pops was into comics when he was a kid in the 50s and early 60s. He especially loved Supes, because Supe's dilemmas were often philosophical and moral, and because he loved some of the better OG Lex Luthor plots. ANYWAY, huge nerd that he was (said in a 100% complimentary way) he loved quantifying superhero powers. Apparently, back in the day, the general idea was that Superman can keep pace with Flash up to the speed of light, but if Superman broke the speed of light he would go back in time. Flash, through vibrations, could run faster than light without traveling through time (unless he wanted to). So, that's (apparently) the old school take on a race between the two (according to whatever author wrote it and had my pops and his cadre of friends deciding that's the way it should work). BUT - it really is a great way to do it, isn't it? Doesn't de-power either of them. Keeps Flash the fastest, and keeps Superman just as fast up to a point. The limiter on Supes is the inability to vibrate, something that (unlike overall speed) has always been exclusively part of Flash's power set.
Please cover all the older Flash stories. A lot of us were introduced to the Flash via Barry Allen, but grew up with the Flash as Wally West. I'm one of those people, & I would love for you to cover his Adventures
Love the flash. Was hard to understand as a kid in the 90s. Wally was my flash growing up. I hope flash war brings a rebirth for classic Wally. Thanks Rob I appreciate your perspectives and thoughts on characters I love. Thanks Man😀
Comicsexplained Awesome job , love the video it’s a great story the more flash videos the better. Rob I’m curious as to how you think the new age of hero’s will effect the current story’s I say that cuz I really want to see a team up with sideways & Titans or flash family ,what do you think 🤔 ?
One thing about this event is that it feels like a direct lead-in to FLASHPOINT. The final battle saw Thawne saying that he will change Barry's past. This leads in to BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY, but then FLASHPOINT happens, and we indeed see Flash's history has been changed. Despite the intervening months, this event does feel like the first step on the path to FLASHPOINT and THE NEW 52.
I can relate to Eobard a little wishing to do good & chasing his heroes he jumped into a time and place where he thought he might make a difference perhaps be a hero only to find out that his existence is based on an endless loop of death and destruction. Be the bad guy who the hero fought admirably for the future's sake, for the future's hope, even if you are forevermore forced to wear the label villain. I am part of an endless war which I hope some hero will end one day.
Let me summarize: A 30++ panel Speedster battle takes place in the time that an object falls down from 5 feet. That means when the speedsters talk to each other - at the speed of the sound.... ooooh boy... I guess the Speedsters have the special skill of SUPERSPEAK that allows their voice to go at least 200x faster than the sound can actually travel.
Question Everything if you've been even slightly keeping up they're now resetting everything back to before. The original big three avengers are back, wolverine is back, and a bunch of other stuff being brought back like the infinity stones and adam warlock
nah dude, the best flash story/stories are from a anniversary issue or something like that. It's Wally West talking to a therapist about Barry and being the Flash because he's trying to overcome a mental block on his speed. I much prefer the story in that comic about Flash being the source of his own powers when he outruns a tachyon particle( which according to the comic only exist at speeds greater than that of light) powering a giant cannon pointed at earth. He runs so fast his body literally melts away and he becomes pure energy as he grabs the tachyon to stop the cannon, and transforms into the lightning bolt that hits him in the past.
Honestly I think the only reason Wally is popular is because of the Justice League cartoon show. Barry seems way better and Wally just seems like Barry but slightly different and a red-head
I just realized: not only did Eobard Thawne kill Barry Allen's mom, he killed his dog.
Somebody get Keanu Reeves on the phone.
21:00 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Is that....? My god, it is. Even when he's not writing for Green Lantern, Geoff Johns is still setting things up!
Also, to this day, I don't know how I feel about Barry becoming Speed Jesus. But, I will admit, although I prefer Wally, Barry is still pretty cool.
Crisis: Barry disappears before the reality reboot.
Final Crisis: Barry returns and only knows the reboot reality/Post Crisis?
Me: WTF?!
Reverse Flash: What if every bad thing that happened to you was orchestrated by one person?
Flash: You...you did it didn’t you… you killed my DOG!
Reverse Flash: Er… I think you missed the bigger picture Barry…
Barry: I’ll avenge you Mr. Noodles!
Reverse Flash: Are you being serious right now?
Barry: Hey, I loved that dog.
Reverse Flash: He wasn’t the only one I killed Barry!
Barry: (Gasps) You killed Miss Sprinkles too?!
RF: What?!
Barry: My cat. She disappeared so I assumed...
RF: No! Your parents gave her away because she was trashing your house!
Barry: OK! So you GAVE us Miss Sprinkles to makes us miserab-!
RF: Try again…
Barry: Umm… you killed my parrot?
RF: You never owned a parrot!!
Barry: Oh yeah…
RF: Lets try this again… I am responsible for the very BAD thing that happened to you AS A CHILD.
Barry: The time my headphones got tangled?
RF: No!
Barry: That time I stepped on a Lego?
Reverse Flash: NO!
Barry: That time I fell and broke my arm?
Reverse Flash: N-! Oh wait... that was me.
Barry: You disgust me.
RF: STILL MISSING THE POINT! Remember! The TRAUMATIZING event during your childhood!!!
Barry: Oh...you mean… my Mom….
RF: Yeees… now your getting it…
Barry: My Mom... My Mom letting me watch Veggietales as she was cutting up veggtables! Traumatizing. Still don’t eat veggies to this day.
RF: That’s it. Your going act so stupid?! I’ll just come out and say it. I killed your- Oof!! (Gets hit by Wally)
Barry: What? Wally! He was in the middle of monologuing! You know that’s unsportsmanlike!
Wally: Sorry. You guys were taking, like, forever. What was he monologuing about?
Barry: He killed my dog.
Wally: Wow. What a monster.
Barry: I know right?! Noodles be avenged.
(The End)
Michy G Mouse Lmao
This is really funny XD
Aren’t these are ALL the kind of stuffs RF would’ve done throughout his childhood, I mean this is the tip of iceberg if you referring like a list of sort of things.
😂 those were for charity Clark....Do not be confused 🤷🏿♂️ about your place in the big picture 😂😂😂
Adam Love my favorite line from that story.
Barry may the force be with you. Rob great video
This was the very first comic I had ever purchased, glad you are covering it and the background surrounding it.
I remember watching the tv show for the first time in summer of 2015, and that got me into The Flash comics, with The Flash Rebirth being the first Flash comic I've ever read.
The art in that story was amazing.
This story was the first flash story I read and really got me interested in comics and the flash
Grandpa C saaaame! Deadpool got me interested in comics, but this story was a good jumping on point to the flash. Hes the only DC character that I've completely read from Silver age to now. It's so good. The panels at the very beginning where professor zoom has his lightning rod and slices 1 scientists throat and stabs the other scientist. That immediately hooked me. Ive never forgotten that.
Same
I've raced you before, Barry, and I've won some of those races.
Those were for charity, Clark.
Superman got wrekt
Bodied
oh my god, this is one of my favorite Flash stories, if I'm remembering correctly, this is *the* story that got me into the Flash. Absolutely love it :)
The greatest Flash story ever told! That the CW has already wasted!
Get out of here I love the CW arrow verse
Captain Ram Arrowverse blows dick. They have ruined too many Flash stories to count.
Don't worry, they just got done ruining Crisis on Infinite Earths in this seasons CW crossover.
@@anthonypotato1252 flashpoint in ONE *FUCKING EPISODE*
They couldn't do the rebirth story. Crisis just happened
Easily one of my FAVORITE ever Stories.
barry- speed generator, wally- speed genius, max- speed guru, jay- og speedster, bart-speedy comic book run lmao
This was the first Flash comic that i ever read. It didnt really make sense because I didnt have any context. But then i went back and started reading from the silver age, and then the rest from there. Then I reread this, then continued with rebirth and holy shit. And I think its gotta be why i love the Flash so much. This story takes everything and throws it at you.
Three words... Uncle Ethan’s Art!!!
Uncle Ethan yeet
Just when you thought you had a grasp on the Flash...bam! Flash War! It’s gonna be a lot of info to digest
Yes Rob. Always More Flash. Every Time You Think About It
Always loved the Flash and it's intriguing learning about his history and universe.
Speedster would be my superpower.
I will never forget the first time I read crisis on infinite earths and saw Barry Allen for the first time disappear stopping the anti-monitors weapon. It was one of the most impactful moments of the crisis and in the DC Universe ⚡️⚡️
Flash Sundays: I like it.
Frichard Coolin but it’s Monday
Christmas Owl so it is...
Frichard Coolin am I missing something
Frichard Coolin you seem nice
I am happy to have flash comics on any day or everyday lol
The art by Ethan Van Sciver is amazing.
Uncle Ethan
Dc needs to make a animated movie about this
3:15 holy shit, reminds me of all might (yes i know he's meant to be a reference to american comics)
Flash would make a fortune if he decided to compete with Uber Eats. ~_~
I'm sure you know but Wolfman LOVED Barry and set up easy ways to bring him back if DC wanted to... then DC created the Speed Force and made it even more simple.
Did anyone else think he was calling the kids "Giant Iris"?
Every time in flash wars 😂
Great way to start a day at work while everyone is off and enjoying there day :(
Thanks Rob love flash!!!
I love these videos that from time to time are longer than usual.
YESS THANK YOU I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
This was a great listen. As a FlashAddict myself I enjoyed the "new facts" brought in to play to bring the Flash story full circle
Best Story Ever
Or is it?
#FlashSpeedWillNeverBeConsistent. Sadly enough he's my favorite character😭😭😭😭
Guys! I went to comicpalooza in Houston and I met Mark Waid! It was an honor to speak with such a legend.
So, my pops was into comics when he was a kid in the 50s and early 60s. He especially loved Supes, because Supe's dilemmas were often philosophical and moral, and because he loved some of the better OG Lex Luthor plots. ANYWAY, huge nerd that he was (said in a 100% complimentary way) he loved quantifying superhero powers. Apparently, back in the day, the general idea was that Superman can keep pace with Flash up to the speed of light, but if Superman broke the speed of light he would go back in time. Flash, through vibrations, could run faster than light without traveling through time (unless he wanted to).
So, that's (apparently) the old school take on a race between the two (according to whatever author wrote it and had my pops and his cadre of friends deciding that's the way it should work). BUT - it really is a great way to do it, isn't it? Doesn't de-power either of them. Keeps Flash the fastest, and keeps Superman just as fast up to a point. The limiter on Supes is the inability to vibrate, something that (unlike overall speed) has always been exclusively part of Flash's power set.
For a second I thought you were saying "Giant Iris" until I found out it was "Jai and Iris"
Please cover all the older Flash stories. A lot of us were introduced to the Flash via Barry Allen, but grew up with the Flash as Wally West. I'm one of those people, & I would love for you to cover his Adventures
Rob predicted it. They literally just brought everyone back
I need to show this to my nephew
Greatest flash story I've ever read hands down.
Love the flash. Was hard to understand as a kid in the 90s. Wally was my flash growing up. I hope flash war brings a rebirth for classic Wally. Thanks Rob I appreciate your perspectives and thoughts on characters I love. Thanks Man😀
Man I love the flash comics such great stories thanks rob
Im glad Flash War is making some of this stuff relevant again.
Yes please cover all the old flash stuff!
This was a great recap thank you!
Congrats Eobard Thawne. Rob's comic explanation has made you jump from C-list villain buffoon to a seat at the A-list big boy table in my book.
Comicsexplained Awesome job , love the video it’s a great story the more flash videos the better. Rob I’m curious as to how you think the new age of hero’s will effect the current story’s I say that cuz I really want to see a team up with sideways &
Titans or flash family ,what do you think 🤔 ?
Hey Rob is Green Lantern Sunday’s ever going to make a comeback??
he's done all the good stories
IT WAS ME BARRY
just bought flash rebirth yesterday and i can’t wait to start reading it
God!! I've been waiting for this video!!
Please please please do the Return of Barry Allen and Terminal Velocity
Both stories better than Flash: Rebirth.
If this is anyone's first video by Rob, all I can say is - strap in and good luck buddy.
Flash Rebirth is great but Geoff Johns’ Blitz is even better.
One thing about this event is that it feels like a direct lead-in to FLASHPOINT. The final battle saw Thawne saying that he will change Barry's past. This leads in to BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY, but then FLASHPOINT happens, and we indeed see Flash's history has been changed. Despite the intervening months, this event does feel like the first step on the path to FLASHPOINT and THE NEW 52.
love the flash, my 4th favorite leaguer, I love the legacy of them, my favorite is wally, but I like barry too, and the whole flash family.
Hey Rob would you consider doing a series where you go over the powers and abilities of characters and put them in relation to other characters?
Planning to cover X-O Manowar again any time soon Rob?
Gavinchi how about all of valiant comics?
Read this when it originally came out.. loved it so much that I'm here listening 😬
one of the few fysical comic books I own, feels good
I can relate to Eobard a little wishing to do good & chasing his heroes he jumped into a time and place where he thought he might make a difference perhaps be a hero only to find out that his existence is based on an endless loop of death and destruction. Be the bad guy who the hero fought admirably for the future's sake, for the future's hope, even if you are forevermore forced to wear the label villain. I am part of an endless war which I hope some hero will end one day.
Do all of Geoff Johns run
I will watch every single Flash video you make 10 times.
thesamuraiman I’ll take “Bullshit comment” for 400, Alex
Isaiah Kellam You might want to take "hyperbole" for 1000.
Same here lol
Katherine Shedrick 😁😁🖒🏽👍🏽
Flashpoint is one of my all time favorites
Love your dc videos man
YES DO MORE OF THE OLD FLASHES!
Let me summarize: A 30++ panel Speedster battle takes place in the time that an object falls down from 5 feet.
That means when the speedsters talk to each other - at the speed of the sound.... ooooh boy... I guess the Speedsters have the special skill of SUPERSPEAK that allows their voice to go at least 200x faster than the sound can actually travel.
Should cover the classic hero stuff Perez Wonder woman reboot, bryne Superman, Miller Batman you know the game changers
Please do more flash videos, the more the merrier!
you know when Rob puts "The greatest flash story ever" he's gonna SPLOOOOGE
Cover Mark Waid’s Flash run. I’ll be so happy
YES COVER ALL OF WALLY WESTS TIME AS THE FLASH IVE BEEN REQUESTING THIS EVERY LIVESTREAM
That isn't the black racer, that is black flash. They're actually two very different characters.
He’s hitting the gritty
DC's comics is killing it. I wish marvel made half as good comics as this.
the SJWs are coming over though.
Question Everything if you've been even slightly keeping up they're now resetting everything back to before. The original big three avengers are back, wolverine is back, and a bunch of other stuff being brought back like the infinity stones and adam warlock
Daredevil Born Again.
Well at least marvel can make movies
Sidharth Mahadeo Not DC’s fault. That’s Warner Bro’s fault.
I know you have a lot on your plate but can we get some more "How to unalive super heros and villains?"
He said all the money in my pockets, I look down and all I got on is boxers, jokes on you
your flash stories for rebirth are all over the place lol
I actually loved the "fastest man alive series"
Finally VWOOOOOOM!!! And leave him to dust. I love it.
You told you were also gonna cover more marvel cosmic stories like annihilation
mubin modi don't have any good stories from marvel
rocky 362 it's not from marvel legacy it's way before secret wars
18:52 i see what you did there He knows all the ''buttons''
Minas Kallias yeah that was good lol. So was the button story line, do fucking amazing
Damn complex story. Thx.
nah dude, the best flash story/stories are from a anniversary issue or something like that. It's Wally West talking to a therapist about Barry and being the Flash because he's trying to overcome a mental block on his speed.

Rob, if you haven't, could you do an origin/powers video for Max Mercury :)
What up Rob.......
I would love to hear you cover chaos war, I already read the main line of comics but non of the tie ins
Go for it bro. Let people know the difference of Wally and Berry
Hey Rob when will you and the guys be in Denver for Comic-Con?
I've read rebirth like 6 times
Can you do a video breaking down the Flash family tree? So many speedsters can't keep up
Please cover the older Flash stuff⚡️
DC has good stories, it's hard for me to pick up or where to start from after looking at this video.
Rebirth is awesome but have you read the Cobalt Blue storyline?
I love Flash: Rebirth.
I liked this story, it's one of the first comics I got, but I'm kind of sad it led to Barry Allen kind of stealing Wally's thunder.
Dc>marvel COMICS
Honestly I think the only reason Wally is popular is because of the Justice League cartoon show. Barry seems way better and Wally just seems like Barry but slightly different and a red-head
New52 flash started good but couldnt hold up but so far rebirth is good and always has been
