The Flash by Mark Waid — Book Eight (featuring The Dark Flash Saga)

from The Iron Age of Comics · host Justin Zyduck and Jim Cannon

It’s the final lap of our epic look at every issue of this legendary run! With Linda Park erased from history and Wally West merged with the Speed Force (again), a grimmer and grittier speedster takes over Flash duty. We’ll talk about the end of Mark Waid’s (and Brian Augustyn’s) tenure on the title, the transition to the Geoff Johns era, and the awkward batch of issues in between. Plus, we offer our highlights and lowlights of the entire run and reflect on the big picture: what these hundred-plus issues meant to us and to the development of superhero comics as a whole. Discussed in this episode: The Flash #151-163, plus other stories. We couldn't have done this without the support of our backers! Help support us at patreon.com/ironageofcomics !
