Heroes in Crisis - Wally West's Fee-Fees Murder Everyone

Показать описание
You’ve seen all the clues. You’ve heard the testimony and eavesdropped on the secret confessions of the World’s Greatest Super Heroes. Now, with the killer revealed, it’s time to find out why. What could have driven a hero to the brink, to turn a savior into a murderer? Rifts will form between old allies, and the trinity of Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman will have their leadership challenged and will question their own judgment. Sanctuary has become something they never imagined…and it’s still potentially carrying on without them!

We’ve been waiting eight long months to get to this point. Eight months of endless sonnets, nine panel layouts and characters portrayed completely out of sorts. For eight long months Tom King has chipped away at the souls of comic readers with his pretentious writing. Heroes in Crisis ground to a virtual halt following issue five, as DC Comics strung out the story for no apparent reason. Surely the payoff is going to be mind meltingly great. Sorry to disappoint. The killer is Wally West, in the front yard, with his feelings. Readers already know Wally is the killer. But nothing could prepare them for the oh-so convoluted BS Om King is selling these days.

Wally West makes a full confession of his murders and subsequent cover-up. This is Tom King’s 22 page manifesto of how to ruin a beloved character. In the end Wally West should have never returned to the DC Universe. Heroes in Crisis issue eight is the ultimate middle finger to everyone behind DC Rebirth. It’s the final nail in its coffin. In my mind, it’s a betrayal to all the readers who returned to DC after the dreadful New 52 fiasco. There are so many terrible implications about the DC Universe, and particularly speed force users, moving forward. Let me put it this way, after what we learn, all speed force users should be placed in padded rooms so they can’t experience life or feelings.

Readers hanging onto Heroes in Crisis, waiting for Tom King to save it with a great reveal, I’m sorry. This is convoluted drivel and makes no sense on multiple levels. There’s enough plot holes in Heroes in Crisis issue 8, I likely missed a dozen or so more. If you have one, make sure and place it in the comments so we can all enjoy. Tom King is batting O-fer 2019. Between Batman and Heroes in Crisis he’s released 12 single issues. They’ve all ranged from bad to atrocious. Tom King is DC Comics new hitless wonder. At this point swapping him out for Vita Ayala or Cullen Bunn would be an improvement. Is this King at is worst? No, this is still better than Heroes in Crisis 6 and Batman 68. But this is reminiscent of a very real problem King has had for years now. He creates an interesting premise. He meanders around the middle doing nothing. Finally, his story finish is a complete letdown. That’s his M.O. at this point. For far too long he couldn’t close a good story. Now he can’t even get to the end before turning readers off. There is one more issue for Tom to undue everything in the prior eight issues. I’ll review it for the channel, King is somewhat of a muse for me these days. But he can do nothing to clean the stench emanating from Heroes in Crisis. Believe me, readers who never cracked an issue, know how bad it sucks at this point.

Just like Tom Kings ending on Mister Miracle, this storyline was complete garbage, not only did Dan Didio let Tom King kill Wally West after they just brought him back, But they let Tom ruin a legacy character, If said this before many times and I mean it, Stop giving titles to Tom King he is using superheroes as his therapy session, let the man get some help because he needs it.

This issue was a middle finger to DC Comic fans. A way to say FUCK YOU to everyone behind DC Rebirth and signifies the return to Dan Didio's miserable New 52 story model. This story RUINS Wally West and destroys any hope comic fans had of the classic DC Universe returning. Now comic fans have no reason to keep buying DC anymore.


Tom King needs to be FIRED. After Batman #68, #69 and HIC 8. He's shown the world that he's can do an okay setup but just can't deliver a payoff to a story. Instead of paying off the reader he just pisses them off.

I usually dont complain about comic books, but this was a new level of BS. I thinks thats how Green Lantern Fans felt when DC decided to turn him into Parallax in the 90s.
I was expecting to Wally to bring back the continuity pre-52, but now...
I can only hope that the weird blue lighthing is somehow connected to Dr. Manhattan or something like that.

Hopefully Doctor Manhattan (Geoff Johns) can fix this travesty. I miss DC before New 52. The JSA and JLA.

I remember when Identity Crisis was the biggest thing to complain about (which I actually still enjoy, lol). Little did we know...

I want DC to answer one question: Why bring Wally West back at all if you didn't want him and you were just gonna completely disrespect all of his fans?

Well, time to wait for wally to get paralaxed. Say there's some entity in the speed force that possessed wally and drove him crazy. A "speed demon" if you will.

This makes what Brad Meltzer put Sue Dibny through in Identity Crisis like a day at the beach. What utter trash and more importantly it is so functionally bad. Wasn't this supposed to be some kind of anti-gun story? I fail to see that, only someone with a fraction of the talent trying to do his version of Watchmen. Tip: Only mad Englishmen should be allowed to write such stories.

I agree with what you said, mate, but you made one mistake. The picture of the person with the needle was Roy Harper and not Wally West

Even when I saw this coming, it STILL pissed me off to see it happen! 😡

So far, virtually every terrible rumor regarding Dan Didio’s plans have come to fruition in one way or another. Degradation of characters, tarnishing legacies, dismantling families, removal of popular titles and bringing back everything wrong with the New 52...
