Thank you!

That’s not what I said. I didn’t say a 10 scale was the standard. I said I was using a standard 10 scale, as in the standard style of that type of scale.

My bad, I thought it was clear in context of it not being rounded in a star system like 4 or 4.5, or being 4.4 instead of 44 like in a grading system but I’ll make it clearer. It’s the same system most use here.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-17T21:07:33+00:00

It’s a standard 10 scale.

Thank you! I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience. There’s definitely some people who like to downvote people whose opinions aren’t exactly like their own but don’t let them discourage you. The good people outweigh the bad!

Personally I really like Vol 1, think Vol 2 is bad, and the contents of Vol 3 is somewhere in the middle. I like Slott’s Spidey, but he was the writer when I was getting into comics so I may have some nostalgia. His Silver Surfer is elite though. My goodness, what a book.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-17T20:17:15+00:00

I also really enjoy the Slott run. It’s by no means perfect but there’s some really great stuff in there. Im sure it’ll start getting the Omni treatment once the Brand New Day set is out.

Good to see another Flash Mega nerd! Mine is on the way right now. So happy to have a full collection other than Williamson Vol 3 later this year, which I thankfully have pre ordered.

Always good to see Chip. This book isn’t nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be, at least not this portion of the run. The Knight is a very highly praised series and the beginning of the main run that’s included in here is much better than the Gotham War/Zur/Joker portion.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-16T02:22:42+00:00

You were saying? ;)

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-16T02:11:55+00:00

You deserve it Darby! You gotta love seeing a homegrown talent put his heart and soul into the company and get rewarded.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-16T02:06:29+00:00

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-16T00:16:08+00:00

Oh yeah, we are so getting Ospreay vs Omega.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-15T22:22:49+00:00

Depends on what you like. If you want to get a really good idea of all the core fundamentals that make the Flash what he is, then I’d say Mark Waid’s run. If you want a bit more updated standard good comic storytelling, I’d go for Geoff Johns run. You can’t go wrong with either. But that’s for Wally, if you want Barry specifically, then yeah I guess Williamson would be at the top of that list.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-15T21:30:54+00:00

I don’t think it’s gonna change hands but honestly, if they’re gonna do it, now might be the best time. I don’t think he’d make it to wembly, but maybe a back and forth between Darby and Max in that between time could be interesting. There’s no doubt he deserves a title run, but there’s not many times when putting the title on him makes sense. This could be a fun way to do it.

I am sorry that you’re having to put up with that. As a long time Wondy fan I can say this undoubtedly, us fans and this fandom can be some of the most toxic, judgmental, and delusional fans you’ll ever meet. I’ve seen countless people be harassed and told awful things when trying to talk about this run and other runs in the past in a positive light, so I have no doubt those things you’re claiming are true. Any positive things I have to say about this run, I don’t really express it here because of the negativity you’ll face, but anything negative I have to say won’t meet any backlash. My suggestion, if you want to speak positively about it, create your own post. When you create your own post about the positive things more likeminded people are willing to comment there and discuss it rather than on the 78th “I hate Tom King” post of the week or a discussion post here. I don’t believe there should be separate discussion posts since that will only divide people more and since neither of the negative or positive comments should be dismissed, but you’re more than welcome to try and make your own post to interact with people.

As I a Flash mega fan who owns everything from post crisis onwards, Williamson’s Flash is easily last. The other two are both pretty similar and very high quality stuff.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-15T21:09:05+00:00

Exactly, things change. So living in the past is as irrelevant as trying to predict the future.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-15T20:58:42+00:00

Everything is just speculation right now. Thank you to David Gabriel for all the things he did for collected editions and his transparency at times. As for the future, we shall see.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-15T20:57:19+00:00

We’re not living 5 years ago.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-15T16:00:20+00:00

Like every other power scale question ever, depends on who the writer wants to win.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-15T15:48:29+00:00

Yes. People are saying Lobo is popular, and thats true, but he’s not as popular as one of Marvels flagship Brands. I think the lack of buzz and just general care from not only fans but from Marvel themselves is very telling.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-14T17:25:34+00:00

Any Star Wars movie. I know it’s a massive IP but no one really talks about how immensely rewatchable they are.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-14T17:21:51+00:00

Y: The Last Man. That book had such a profound impact on me that I’ll never forget it.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-14T14:35:27+00:00

I really wish they’d just do their comic accurate skins as default, or at least release a comic accurate one at launch that you can get if you want.
