I’ve already proposed the theory that as the narration goes ‘This Is Me’ in front of Libra’s BLUE eyes, and the lightning bolt appears above his location, Barry Allen and Libra merged as part of the fabric of the universe, and they are now one person, literally fulfilling Libra’s duties - a bad person balanced out with a good person. It would also explain Zoom’s comment that he felt someone somehow move past him - Barry/Libra is that fast now.

That’s because no one actually read Underworld Unleashed…at least Marvel is ripping something off that people watch…

This book was awful. Intended to set the stage for new readers, it set nothing except a huge ad for “Final Crisis.” And you say “it’s all across the mainstream media”? Ummmm… sorry, but no. It’s exactly NO WHERE in the mainstream media. As if they give a rat’s ass about Barry Allen! You seem to have drunk the Kool-Aid on this one. I look forward to your drooling praise of each issue of Final Crisis, and your ultimate declaration that Morrison is “brilliant” and “a god.”

A) I think Red Volcano is one of the failed versions of robots that were come up with before Red Tornado that we saw in the eighty-five part opening arc of Meltzer’s Justice LEague (I know, I know, but it felt like eighty-five issues).

2) I thought the one with the universe sounded like Libra while teh personal knowledge suggested Barry.

III) Why hasn’t anyone commented at all that Morrison is ripping off Underworld Unleashed? Secret Invasion is getting knocked as a Battlestar Galactica rip off where I post so why does Morrison get a free pass when in this case he basically just paraphrases dialog from a bad crossover event?

also, another question… the red volcano we see with ivo. is it possible this is the red inferno mentioned in 52?

i think that it is implied that it is barry when he says “he always told me to call him clark” and other lines like that

and i get that it is a flash with all of the race references; but in the comic when it says this is me and it shows the universe i assumed that libra was the narrator because libra supposedly became one with the universe when he died. and when i saw the burning body i thought it was libra being remade, hence his costume covering full body and face. also with the black box turning red, going from death to life, i still thought libra

so here is a question, would it be crazy to think that barry is back, but as libra??

Y’know, I haven’t read the issue, but…

I’m bugged by the assertion that nothing matters but the big last page.

Go back to where he narrates the scene with Hal. No way in the world anyone outside of Ollie, Carol or Barry hears Hal make that admission.

I guess I have to read this again - but why is it Barry and not possibly Bart? Is this a swerve?
