Wreszcie mam jakiąś pozytywną opinię o Wallym, bo wcześniej nie czytałem żadnego komisu o nim.

Full of hope and lighthearted fun, this is exactly what a superhero comic should be! 4.5/5

Flash ist mittlerweile zu meinem Lieblings-DC-Superhelden geworden— oder besser Barry Allen. Es ist dennoch interessant zu sehen wie Wally zu Kid Flash wurde sowie seine Beziehung zu Flash. Ich hätte allerdings gerne gelesen wie Wally und Iris hinter die wahre Identität von Flash gekommen sind. Eine Übergangsgeschichte fehlt in dieser Ausgabe einfach.Punktabzug gibt es bei der deutschen Umsetzung. Ich glaube kaum, dass Eaglemoss Korrekturleser beschäftigt. Anfängliche Schreibfehler (fehlende ode...

it was ok, I did like it, just barely though!

3.75 starsI liked reading about the way Flash was able to continue on after Barry. I didn't like the corny side-kick gimmick that was so popular following the appearance of Robin.We mainly follow Wally West and his mentor Barry Allen as he gets the same super speed. Wally was an angsty mere 10 years old (Not that the art depicted that well) when he unwittingly became Kid Flash. Interesting enough story, but made me more curious to learn about the Teen Titans.I've been on a graphic novel kick the...

So this starts off in a weird place you have Wally West as the Flash running around an airport, then you meet his grandad. It goes into a bit of a tangent, telling you all about Grandpa until it realises it’s a Flash story. The it goes into a retelling of Wally’s origins, how he got power and become Kid Flash. It’s pretty interesting, even though it’s an older comic it still holds up. One of the things I do like is how Flash and Kid flash differ in power wise, these days they always seem equal b...

Man, I've been reading a lot of comic book trade paperbacks recently, especially ones concerning the Flash. This one was pretty good even though I read some of it before and the bridging story is ruined by the fact comic book corporate shenanigans have Wally's Aunt alive in the past most recent issues I read. Some underlying homoeroticism between Barry and Wally, I noticed. Is Barry in NAMBLA? No, certainly not, just bad posturing. Some extremely lukewarm and hideous art therein, but very please...

Excellent origin for Wally West (and overall introduction to The Flash) that actually made me quite emotional by the end. The art and paneling are also top notch. This flew by.

This is one of the better 'Year One' tales that DC probably put out in the 1990's, detailing how Wally became Kid Flash, sidekick to his idol Barry Allen (Flash #2). I dig that Waid did not dial down the insanity of the original Silver Age (1950s) tales, but added in a ton of character development. Wally has a lot of joy in being the Flash, and this shines throughout the volume. Some of the Flash's classic Rouges make an appearance too, who always manage to warm my heart. Good stuff.

This is my first The Flash comic and I found it very introductory and easy to follow. I've gotten to know both Barry Allen and Wally West as The Flash and Kid Flash. The storyline was entertaining buy a bit repetitive tho, but it felt that it was due to the way it was compiled. Some facts were stated several times and I felt the story could have been more diverse once the characters were introduced. But for an introduction to the characters it was a good read.

A great collection of stories about Wally West's first year with super speed. As Grant Morrison says in the introduction: The Flash is the coolest super-hero ever. It's weird, one year ago I'd never thought I'd say this but it's true. There's just something about him that makes me love him a whole lot. <3

This one started off a lot cheesier than the other comics I've read in recent time, but by that fourth issue, I was really starting to see the depth. This one has some important things to say about parenthood and family relationships. A nice introduction to Wally West's Flash.

What a great arc. Tells Wally's origin story and has some great moments between Wally and Iris, Ira and Flash. I tend to stick to more modern DC comics, but this was a worthwhile read!

This is basically a retelling of Wally West’s origin as Flash, or, more accurately, how the young Wally West became Kid Flash and sidekick to Barry Allen. What sets this story apart is how Waid takes some time to look at Wally’s emotional development as well as the development of his super power. For those who really don’t know. Wally West took over the mantle of Flash after Barry Allen was killed off during Crisis on Infinite Earths. The story doesn’t aspire to much more than being an origins r...

Foi a primeira vez que li algo do Mundo do Flash, foi uma ótima escolha para introdução a este personagem.

The story follows Wally’s memories of his first days as Kid Flash, with a few bonus adventures focusing on his relationship with his uncle and mentor - Barry Allen, a.k.a. the Flash.Although this is essentially Wally’s origin story, we also get to see and learn quite a bit about Barry and the person who brought the two of them together, Iris West. There are also many mentions as to what happens to these characters much later down the road, though overall, I think this graphic novel makes for a g...

Decided to check out some of Mark Waid's older stuff based on really liking his recent Daredevil book. Was struck by the sort of slow pace of the storytelling, but then I guess it was a different time.The book retells the Wally West Flash's origin (as Kid Flash, working with Barry Allen), from the Flash v2 book, and then has some other stuff in it from I'm not sure where. One highlight is a retelling of the first fight with Mr. Element pencilled by Humberto Ramos... I really like the way Ramos d...

A great introduction to Wally West, and actually where I jumped on with The Flash series. I've always understood this particular hero and the legacy of The Flash through Wally's eyes, so it makes sense that recounting his life story wouldn't read as hokey to me (though we're deep into 1990s comics here, so people's hair looks ridiculous). Another saving grace is Waid's almost instinctive understanding of the character's voice. I've heard Waid say that he sees himself as very Wally-like, and I th...

The origin of Wally West as Kid Flash.Wally runs into his grandfather at a local diner, then returns to his grandfathers home for the first time since Iris and Barry's death, which occurred over a year ago. He begins to reminisce about the time he stayed with the Allen's for a summer and how he received his powers in the speedforce.There is a lot of inconsistencies with the art work, like the characters hair changing colour or the clothes they are wearing, for single panels. This made some parts...
