Tag: reverse flash

Taken from ComicVine – A preview page from Flash Rebirth. So it seems that Eobard’s plot from the N52 (check out HERE if you missed it) is being upheld. The image shows Eo (I presume and not Hunter) with Black Flash which I don’t quite … Continue reading

DC Rebirth – The important bits

And considering the theme of my blog when I say important I mean relating to Eobard and the Flash 🙂

Spoilers

So Wally West 1 (ginger speedster) is trapped in the speedforce. He is from the classic comics up to Flashpoint. He witnessed that after Flashpoint some higher power fucked with time taking out ten years and also changing people’s relationships. This gave us N52.

However, no one remembers him. He tries to break through the reality barrier now it has been weakened by Darkseid’s death. He appears to various heroes but no one recognises him, not even Linda his once wife. But Barry does and so Wally manifests in the N52 universe. He explains about the past to Barry who now remembers. He also warns of the great power and impending war.

Now I presume that this will lead to various characters getting their memories back. Though I’m concerned about Eobard cause he died in Flashpoint. But as he now exists again hopefully he’ll stay that way. It would be nice if he got a bit of his old character back, as in actually being a genius scientist, engineer and speed force expert. But right now I’ll just settle for him existing and hope that he gets used again in plots.

N52 Professor Zoom by Knight Models

Knight Models who have a DC Batman minitures game have released this lovely 35mm figure. He costs about £11, is metal and comes unpainted.

Anyway if, like me, you enjoy painting up minitures then they do actually have a whole range of DC comics themed figures including the Flash, Captain Boomerang, Black Manta, a really awesome Killer Frost figure and many many more.

As we all know, DC is kinda rebooting their universe whilst vermently denying that it is actually a reboot, using the moniker of Rebirth instead. These panels are a preview from the 2016 Flash Rebirth comic coming out in June. It’s great to see Eobard … Continue reading

Masterpost of Eobard Thawne’s classic comic appearences

Here are all my reviews of classic Flash comics containing Eobard Thawne aka the Reverse Flash / Professor Zoom (1963 – 1983).

The classic comics end on issue 350.
I’ve summarised the end plot below for anyone interested.

Barry Allen aka the Flash is put on trial for Eobard’s murder and it is all going very badly for him. However it turns out that Abra Kadabra is manipulating events. In the end Barry is acquitted as he was defending his bride to be, Fiona Webb. Fiona had a break down after being stood up by Barry at the church. She was taken to hospital and Barry visited her secretly at speed, something that caused her doctor to think she was delusional as they’d seen no visitors. She didnt know he was the Flash and so it lead to further mental break down.

Barry however finds out that Iris’s soul has been put in a new body in the 30th century and as he is now a free man he leaves so that he can be with her. Leaving behind him a now very damaged Fiona and the corspe of Eobard Thawne.

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 🙂

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.
