Welcome back to Comic Rainbow, the show with a pointedly
vague brief so I can focus on pretty much whatever I want so long as I’m
indulging my color obsession. In
the spirit of undefined focus this week we’re looking at another topical
subject: The Flash. In case you
don’t know CW’s The Flash premiered
its 2nd season on Tuesday of this week at the time of writing. The show had a rocky start but rocketed
into the hearts of nerds and common folk alike through its winning combination
of comic book craziness and engaging character and story. I personally love CW’s The Flash, it’s the only DC adaptation
of the 2010s to rival the works of Marvel and is the best comic show currently
on TV. This new season is primed
to continue the show’s broadening horizons by introducing both the multiverse
and a collection of Flash allies such as Wally West, Jay Garrick, and Jesse
Quick. This has got me thinking
about the Flash Family, a group of heroes who all draw their power from the
speed force, which I discussed previously in “Would You Like To Know
More.” So, this is your full
spectrum look at the Flash Family in all its shades, shames, and successes.
