8 on Flashpoint Beyond #6 reviewIn the last chapter of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal Watchmen, there is one final conversation between two of its main characters: Ozymandias, the world's smartest man, and Doctor Manhattan, the world's only true superhuman. Before the sequels, the prequels and the crossovers with the DC Universe, this was the last word on these…
Damn it. Alright Flashpoint Beyond, back it up. You had me for a while here, but now you're really losing me. I can't in good conscience spend an entire review trashing Dark Crisis, and not subject you to the same scrutiny when you carry the same issues. Flashpoint Beyond #5 opens on a perversely funny scene, when it wastes…
Flashpoint Beyond has earned enough goodwill for me to forgive the occasional misstep. I wouldn't say this is a bad issue, but it deviated a little from what actually interested me about the book - getting lost in the weeds, rather than appreciating the garden as a whole. Let's get into why! The Clockwork Killer…
Alright, credit where it's due: this issue was great! No disclaimer, no "if"s or "but"s, no overarching concerns - I just straight up had a good time with this book, and I'm glad that I did. Let's get right to it and jump into this review! This issue, Thomas is searching for more clues as…

I have inherent objections to the book, from its metatextual commentary to behind-the-scenes circumstances regarding it existing in the first place. Those complaints still apply here, but I'm at least happy to say…
It's 2011, and DC needs a fresh start. Flashpoint, written by Geoff Johns, is released. This event is a company-wide movement, propelling DC into a new, rebooted universe with the New 52. The New 52 recieved great commercial acclaim - but mixed critical and fan reception, to say the least. Four years later, DC would…
It's hard not to think about the action figures I had as a kid when looking at McFarlane Toys' DC Multiverse figures. The coolest feature I could hope for on the four-inch-tall figures was a cloth cape for Batman or Superman. As time went on, figures got taller, but then toymakers were left to their…
Okay, so what do we all actually think about Flashpoint? I don’t think I ever found a consensus on the story. From reviews at the time, I got the sense that people thought it was an interesting event that was weighed down by its stakes and scale – never able to live up to its…
