I had a spare Cw Reverse Flash Pop so I decided to customise it. I used sand paper to define the yellow on the body and then repainted the black and red with acrylic paints. The head is from the Vault Boy Pop (gonna use … Continue reading
Author: Eobeth
I'm a fan of Eobard Thawne aka Reverse Flash / Professor Zoom. I cosplay as a female version (DC Earth-11) hence the name Eobeth. I use this site (and Tumblr) to collect my reviews of merchandise, comics and media with Eobard in. I am slowly reviewing every comic he has ever been in.
OK, so not an Eobard item, but they didn’t have one. He does get a mention inside the pull out though.
I was in Forbidden Planet in London at the weekend and picked up this lovely faux leather Flash notebook by Insights. The paper is nice and thick with thin rule so it’s good quality. The inner cover images are cool and it has a back pocket too. I’m going to write all my creative projects in it so that they are actually replicable for once.
The Mattel Justice Buster Reverse Flash. Here are some shots of the details for anyone interested. Click the image to see the full picture. As you can see, the figure doesn’t exactly match the TV costume and they have neglected detail on the back. However it is quite nice, stands properly and could be easily improved with a little paint/shading. Plus as it isnt identical to the DC one you can buy both and have 2 Eos on your shelf 🙂

New exclusive design Reverse Flash / Professor Zoom watch from Superhero Stuff costing $39.99 for USA or £34 including shipping to the UK.
Figure haul
A while ago I entered a giveaway and I won. Today everything arrived which really cheered me up.
The toyfare figure is just hilarious and won’t even stand. It looks like a Rob Liefeld drawing.
I already have the POP figure so I am probably going to remodel / paint that as a diferent Eobard.
The Mattel Justice Buster figure is pretty awesome. I might be tempted to paint some superior shading on it, just to make it a bit more quality. But the sculpt is nice and the details good.
And the retro Funko figure is nicely charming in it’s own way.
All in all these are great additions to my collection.
The death of Eobard Thawne
The Final Return of the Reverse Flash part 4.
This is the end of Eobard’s run in the
classic comics (1963 – 1983). The other 3 parts can be found here: PART 1, PART 2, PART 3.
The Flash issue 324 – The Slayer and the Slain
This issue starts with Wally West (aka Kid Flash) saving a
baby whilst on his way to Barry Allen’s (aka the Flash) wedding to Fiona Webb.
However despite being late, it hasn’t started yet because Barry is missing.
Fiona is understandably upset.
Barry is actually busy chasing Zoomy (Eobard Thawne aka Reverse
Flash/Professor Zoom) across a desert. Zoomy has Barry in a choke hold and
starts to monologue about why he’s pissed at him. Basically he didn’t like
being trapped in a hell dimension for 4 years. Barry breaks free and they fight
whilst Zoomy continues to waffle on about how epic this battle is and how much
he hates Barry.
Back at the wedding people are speculating about where Barry
is. Fiona is crying. Wally wants to find Barry as he thinks he is in danger, because
he wouldn’t miss his wedding otherwise, but the Guardian stops him. He did
promise Barry that he wouldn’t let anyone help in his fight against Zoomy.
Meanwhile the two speedsters are now up a snowy mountain.
Using his speed sculpting technique Zoomy creates a bust of Iris in the snow
and then proceeds to taunt Barry about her. Yes, Zoomy killed her cause she
turned down his proposal but he does like to go on about how lovely she was.
They fight more, Zoomy continues to taunt Barry. Despite the whole villain
talking to much thing I actually like that he monologues all this stuff, it
gives a good insight into how he sees the world, situation and Barry. They
really hate each other, and Zoomy derives a lot of perverse pleasure in
torturing him.
So the battle continues and the two speedsters end up on a
beach, where Barry has to save people from a tidal wave caused by Zoomy. Then
they end up in space due to hanging on to a rocket. And finally another beach
where Zoomy has left the message that the game is over and that he is going to
kill Fiona.
People at the wedding are still waiting. The police can’t
find Barry and Fiona is getting annoyed by this point, all heart broken and humiliated.
So as it’s been over an hour of waiting she walks out. She bumps into the
wedding photographer outside as she’s stopped to cry some more. She believes
that this was deliberate and that Barry never planned to marry her.
Just at that moment Zoomy turns up but an enraged Barry is
not far behind. He reaches for Zoomy and gets him in a choke hold. Thinking he’s
knocked him out he tries to comfort Fiona but she is very upset, not caring if
she lives or dies. It would be good to remember that this is a woman who lost
her last husband only a few months ago and has been through a lot of hardships.
People rush out of the church and a doctor inspects Zoomy
only to find his neck snapped. Yep, that is the end of Eobard Thawne in the
classic comics. Barry Allen snapped his neck whilst saving Fiona, killing him
outright. I’m going to write one last
review to sum up the end of this plot and series of comics.
Oh Eo, we’ve missed you [x]
When will Barry learn not to fuck with time? Also, who thought that he could actually fool Eo? Like seriously? This plot has ‘bad idea’ written all over it.
I am hoping that Tom drops the Harry voice, I like that there are differences between the characters he plays.
Great to see Wellsobard again though. Looking forward to this.
eobeth-draws: Wellsobard My first attempt at digital painting. I’m really happy with how this turned out 🙂 Reblogging from my art blog
Mattobard is an adorable bouncy murder puppy 🙂 (To quote myself from earlier, and also cause I’ve been ill all evening and needed something to cheer myself up.)
The final return of the Reverse Flash part 3
This is the beginning of the end of Eobard’s run in the classic comics (1963 – 1983). The next part is here PART 4 and the previous 2 parts can be found here; PART 1 & PART 2.
The Flash issue 323 – Run Flash, run for your wife
This issue starts with Firestorm bitching to Wonder Woman about Barry Allen (aka the Flash) having not confided in him about getting married. I guess someone was sore that they didn’t get an invite. Wonder Woman reminds him that their civilian lives are private and that they should just be happy for Barry. That it is a good thing as it means he has moved on from Iris’s tragic death. And so he apparently has the Justice Leagues blessing, though I doubt he needs it.
Barry himself just about makes it in time to get ready for the wedding having nearly forgotten the rings. His dad is happy for him but his mom still prefers Iris. Barry is unaware of all this and is busily admiring his reflection when suddenly one of the Guardians appears in his mirror. The Guardian waffles on about stuff but basically he’s here to confirm that Zoomy (Eobard Thawne aka Professor Zoom/Reverse Flash) has indeed returned. Barry starts lamenting that his first wife’s murderer is free and decides to go after him. The Guardian offers to send a Green Lantern to help but Barry makes him swear not to interfere, wanting to settle this score himself. And so he runs out on his wedding to track down Zoomy, rather than sensibly wait for him to turn up.
Barry goes to the Flash museum to look for clues as to Zoomy’s whereabouts. He is so angry that he can’t bear to look at Zoomy’s statue and thus smashes it. This reveals a recoded voice message. Seems that from his dimensional trap, Zoomy has been watching everything that Barry has been up to these last four years. Ironically he is a little pissed that Barry has gotten over Iris’s death, claiming that although Fiona is nice she doesn’t do it for him like Iris did. A furious Barry goes rushing off to find Zoomy, swearing revenge etc.
Meanwhile, everyone both superhero and not, is turning up for Barry’s wedding. Everyone except Barry it seems.
Barry works out that Zoomy is at his and Iris’s first house. As they fight in the house the new owners turn up only to see the house pretty much explode. I kinda feel sorry for them. Anyway, Zoomy bemoans the state that they’ve left the house in, claiming Iris would be upset and that he did offer for them to fight outside. Barry is pretty much just a ball of red anger at this point and the more Zoomy mentions Iris, the worse he gets.
In fact it is so bad that he is now over an hour late for his wedding, leaving a sobbing Fiona at the altar.
