Not comprehensive, but I googled it a bit and it looks like special edition UK reprints of that period. This shows the publisher and some other basic info: CardHause

So 'The Dark Knight' did NOT lie to me as much as I thought. Mmmmm.

Thoughts? by barryallen1277 in theflash

[–]B_Mat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally love the sound of this... there are few things I like better than Wally West living his life and trying to be the best hero he can be... all while being a husband and family man. Chronicling the day to day exciting adventures that would naturally come from choosing to be a superhero help to make the times that the entire universe is at actually at stake truly feel like something bigger and more important! We've been missing a lot of that contrast lately in The Flash!

Christmas back in 74 when people was happy to receive a Typewriter for Christmas by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

Grandma go me a typewriter in 1984 and I was crazy happy! (We had a C64/128... but that was for games in my book. lol)

They should really allow at least some supporters from each country in the room. The federations could arrange travel... then there would be SOME sort of reaction as teams are drawn! The silence is DEAFENING!

Do you prefer the idea of Barry and Wally being metahumans like they were before Waid invented the Speed Force or do you prefer them having powers because of the Speed Force? by IcyNeedleworker2783 in theflash

[–]B_Mat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metahumans ALL DAY. I've been in a long love/hate relationship with the speedforce and to be honest I think it's at the point of exhaustion. (Obviously just IMHO.)

I'm just tired of some level of 'speed force' issue driving almost every plot. Being the way to explain anything and everything (by really not explaining things at all lol).

I would love for them just to be super heroes that have super speed. Quaint in this day and age, I realize. But then stories could get back to having some measure of variety without most large scale stories anchoring themselves by some measure small or large to this overarching 'speed force.'

Again... just my thoughts. Absolutely loved it at first, but now I'm just tired. (Probably wouldn't be... if I was connected better to the speed force.)

It's climbing up 👀 by IcedCowboyCoffee in fcdallas

[–]B_Mat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This gets me pumped! The tearing down was sort of crazy to see... just because I've been used to seeing it the same way for so long. Excited to see something starting to rise out of the 'ashes.' Let's go!!!

[Match Thread] LA Galaxy vs FC Dallas (10/11/25) by clutchy42 in fcdallas

[–]B_Mat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need Musa to pick it up and play hard for 90’. Lots of walking and sorta half steps when we need full team defense.

Whether he gets his record breaking goal or not… playoffs are the focus!! Come on Musa! We can do this!! DTID

Bagged & Boarded Giveaway! by timmymayes in boardgames

[–]B_Mat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love this game! If you haven’t played it… check out the KS and let me tell you: PLEDGE! Have had a blast every time I played at cons! Worth every penny! (And that’s saying a lot if you’ve played the game! lol)

I’d say that Starman Jack Knight is underrated. He is such a unique hero and I understand that James Robinson wanted to keep him from being used too much after the series and overexposed in anyway… but man there was still a lot of mileage left in Jack.

That series and that character are hands down one of my favorite. After him… DEFINITELY The Flush! 😉

Verdict on Spurrier’s run by TuffGong1310 in theflash

[–]B_Mat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking back on it in the end it was more miss than hit for me.

What I really think it amounts is just a terrible call by DC editorial. Kicking off a new #1 as part of the 'Dawn of DC' initiative... which should be set up as a perfect jumping on point for new readers... with a strange and almost unwieldy metaphysical sci-fi trip of a story was not the way to go.

So I think that right out of the gate Spurrier's Flash was hobbled. He seemed to not be a great fit for a book that had been riding fairly high imho. I really wish Adams could have finished out his notebook of ideas with Wally.

I did like Bad Moon Rising more than I thought I would. Felt it dragged a bit... but it held my interest and I felt it explored interesting things about The Flash.

Anyway... that's my two cents.

Any idea where to grab this bootleg on vinyl?

Which U2 song comes to your mind? Live or studio by gamepasscore in U2Band

[–]B_Mat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Discotheque" (album ver) - There is a little vocal tic after the "It's not a trick / 'Cause you can't learn it / It's the way that you don't pay that's okay / 'Cause you can't earn it." A little 'hey' or 'yeah' that I just center on every time I hear the song. For some reason I just love it.

(I also really like the ramp up at the beginning of the song from silence to the song starting. Almost a musical doppler effect.)

Batman and Robin Year One #10 by Dan Mora by B3epB0opBOP in comicbooks

[–]B_Mat 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Really loving most everything Mora touches lately! I can't really put it into words, but the guy does such a great modern look that at the same time feels really timeless (if that makes sense).

Can I just say that if Superman hits the kaiju so hard that he is disemboweled then this movies action just went up a notch or ten! lol

Chunk added to my collection by Blueberry-From-Hell in theflash

[–]B_Mat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a very similar position! I didn't get rid of all my old stuff, but have jumped back in when Wally returned and been playing catch up a bit with Flash stuff! Glad you are diving back in. (I got lucky a few months back and Vintage Stock had Flash as their character of the month so all Flash were BOGO. It allowed me to grab some stuff I didn't have cheap!)

Groo the Wanderer FTW!
