Flash Year One: New Flash Origin

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

I used to read comics with my mom. She had depression so severe, it was rare when I was young that she was up and about. We would read comics at a drugstore every Saturday that she could do it. She's been gone 24 years now. So, I relate to Barry Allen in Geoff's portrayal. It's a special comic for me now.

[@Ermac98]

Comicbook Barry Allen (original or new earth timeline): probably really honest with the "Fastest Man Alive" title and he also said in the end that Ginger Wally is faster than him. Cw Barry Allen: lies to us about his "so called title" every episode (espechially during watching the opening of every episode) and getting his own ass kicked by Evil Speedsters. Long story short: In my opinion, The Flash Comicbook run (the correct one) is still way better than this wasted potential live action TV show.
