Later in the book we see Turbine out free, and it almost seemed like it did a time skip with people saying Barry died and the Flash left, it just made me really confused on that part. I liked the rogues, but I kept thinking "Why isn't he desperate to find Iris anymore?"Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178727978311013660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-11755037672851397342014-01-07T16:18:13.045-06:002014-01-07T16:18:13.045-06:00I do agree with you that designated fill-ins (or r...I do agree with you that designated fill-ins (or relevant themed fill-ins of the type we used to see on Starman) would be good, though I'm not with you on To specifically on Flash. <br /><br />I have liked To's work on Red Robin and Huntress in the past, but for me here it was too "regular" as compared to Manapul's issues; in a different context I might've liked it, but here I didn't find it as complicated or ornate as Manapul's pages. Tony Akins works for me on Wonder Woman because his art looks similar to Cliff Chiang's; Trevor McCarthy doesn't really work for me on Batwoman because his art is so different from JH Williams's. Still, I guess I'd rather a consistent fill-in artist, even an incongruous one, than just whatever artist is available at the moment.<br /><br />Agreed on Kolins. I didn't have space for it in my review, but I too appreciated that Kolins got to draw the "old-style Rogues" sequence, which was Kolins's former bailiwick (if in a different continuity). In all I disliked how padded that Annual seemed to be, especially "Chapter 1," but Kolins's pages were a treat.<br />collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-16109044018710311622014-01-06T23:21:22.437-06:002014-01-06T23:21:22.437-06:00I really liked Marcus To's fill-in work, and, ...I really liked Marcus To's fill-in work, and, frankly, I wouldn't have minded if he would have become the designated fill-in guy ala Tony Akins on Wonder Woman and Amy Reeder/Trevor McCarthy on Batwoman. Honestly, that's the kind of direction that I wish DC (and Marvel, and for that matter) would move in, especially considering the number of great artists out there who have trouble meeting monthly deadlines. <br /><br />As disjointed as it was in terms of art, it was nice seeing Scott Kollins add a bit to the Annual. It was a nice throw-back to the Geoff Johns Flash.Scott Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00528480452314914200noreply@blogger.com
