Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* easy to enjoy the relative luxury of this strip taking its time to get where it wants to go.

* I don't understand any of the plots here other than I'm guessing both the Clark Kent/Superman and Wally West characters are cognizant of whatever the most recent reality-changes are in the DC Universe. What it is, though, is a textbook comic book professional depiction of a scene that involves talking over fighting/movement, so the dynamism needs to come for layout and how the visuals are established within each panel.

* hard to reconcile driving attention to someone else's comics that are just presented as they are without any additional contextualization, but the late 1960s/early 1970s period of secondary Marvel character is about the richest period left when it comes to shared-superhero universe material to be mined.

* this may be the most Henry Boltinoff pages I've ever seen in one place.

* finally, Will Elder, Will Elder, Will Elder.
