@ Dev7 You do know that Gorilla Grodd has been around for a while and has proven to be an admirable for to not just Flash but the entire DC universe.

Great artwork on this. This is by far the best rendition of Grodd DC has done. Bravo!

What is DC's fascination with Gorillas? The point of the New 52 is make new and fresh story lines. It just seems like they're rehashing the same old shit.....C'MON!!!...[frick] Gorillas as main villains lol

Man, that cover makes it look like Flash is about to get Gorilla raped. Held down, legs spread open.

Hhmmm, I'm not sure I like his new look.

The camera in the second panel is made by "Garrik Piotr Limited." That's a nice touch.

Even though 'Garrik' is missing the letter "C", I'm pretty sure that's a subtle reference to the original Flash, Jay Garrick.

The flash is obviously suffering from some sort of memory loss. It seems he's not aware if his powers at the moment. I swear you guys are complete dip shits read the fcuking pages before you spew retarded diarrhea comments. Also the gay character is going to be someone not introduced into the new 52 yet. GODDAMMIT!!!!!

The Flash is one of the best NEW 52 books out. Great job with the character. Each issue could easily be turned into a animated show.

They said they were reintroducing a character into the DC 52 that was gay. Then they announce Grodd's return? hmmmmmmmm.

@doomxfactor DC's intention wasn't to reboot for fresh story lines. It was rebooted to repeat them. Thats what reboots are all about. They ran out of ideas so they want to piss people off by yanking off super shorts, and jacking up characters and having them come out of closets for cheap press

@Dickel you must be a comic noob. Grodd has been around for ages
