DC Comics And Beyond: Comics Reviews

As the holiday season approaches, it seems my weekly comics take gets bigger.  I’ll have to remember that next year.  I took home a healthy dose of reading material, so let’s get to it:

1. The Flash: Rebirth #5 of 6. Geoff Johns continues to intrigue and amaze as he re-defines the Scarlet Speedster for DC Comics.  Ethan Van Sciver’s art pulls me in and makes me feel I’m experiencing what Barry Allen is going through, particularly the third page in the issue.  Wow!

In this issue, we find out that Barry Allen was always out of step with the rest of the world, including work, his social life and his family.  He often felt alone as a result of this.  And that didn’t change when he was struck by lightning and became the Flash.  “I didn’t have to be the fastest, I just didn’t want to be the only one,” he reflects.

Sackhoff Chats “24”

It’s no secret that the new series of 24 or Day 8 is to be set in New York, and as reported earlier in the year Katee Sackhoff who is best known for playing Kara [Starbuck] Thrace in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica has left her viper behind to portray an FBI Counter Terrorist Agent on the series.

In a recent interview for SciFi Wire Sackhoff revealed a little about her role of Dana Walsh who also happens to be the boss of Chloe who has never dealt with the likes of Dana before now. “Dana is permanently happy,” Sackhoff said. “I think that also pisses Chloe off, because Dana’s like, ‘Oh, no, it’s totally fine that you don’t get it. Let me help you. It’s great. I’ll do that. It’s fine. You don’t need to figure it out, because I’m good enough to do both our jobs.’ So that really pisses Chloe off.”
