I haven’t ready any of “Infinite Crisis” or the new Flash series, but I doubt that Wally is gone for good. We know that Bart will one day be Flash, but I don’t think the world is ready for it yet. Wally hasn’t been around long enough, and in any case I think his passing will be much more glorified than what it sounds like it was. I’m thinking something like Barry’s death.

What I want to know is what the names of the twins are. They’ve been around for HOW long now, and we still don’t know? Come on.

(I should point out that this was a Wizard World Chicago, not SDCC.)

I was not there (sadly), but Comic Book Resources is reporting that in a “DC Nation” panel someone gave “an affirmative answer to a question concerning Wally West’s return to the DCU”. Kind of a vague way to put it, I guess. In what capacity Wally will return… it doesn’t say.

Ugh! Yeah, we got caught on the wrong side of the train coming back from lunch on Thursday, at the other end of the convention center. Depending on whether “day 2″ is counting from Wednesday or Thursday, it could be the same train. (I stopped paying attention to what kinds of cars were on it pretty quickly.)

Still, it was easier to get around this year than last year, when the trolley system was completely overwhelmed by the double assault of Comic Con and several days of Padres games.

Good info. Thanks for sharing with those of us not fortunate enough to have attended.

From what I’ve heard, though, it’s time for a new location or some well-thought-out chances to the traditional one (i.e. a bridge of some sort that keeps people from having to wait eight minutes for that train to go by).

Good stuff.

Eh, I figure if the Internet can handle the differences between the Superman comics, the Superman/Justice League cartoons, Smallville, and Superman Returns, it could have handled the differences between the early Wally West Flash and the Flash TV show. On the other hand, I've occasionally gotten email from people confused about the difference between Bart Allen's appearances as Impulse or Kid Flash in the comics, and his guest spot on Smallville. Marvel's Ultimate line must make their heads explode.

I remember another Comic-Con, years ago (and at the previous venue) when they introduced the Flash TV show. It would be both cliche and annoying to say that the audience was electrofied — but they were. I’ve never gotten over the damned thing getting cancelled, even if they played fast and loose with continuity in a way that would have the Internet howling today for their blood.

“The reason Bart’s acting so morose in these first few issues is that he’s got this problem to deal with, and once he starts to work through it, his impulsive nature will start taking over again.”

…thank you oh four-color gods.
