Mark Waid Has Seen THE FLASH Pilot, Says It's "Really, Really Good"

Several days ago, acclaimed comic book writer Mark Waid spoke in an interview about the CW's upcoming The Flash pilot, voicing his concern over the murder of Barry Allen's mother, but showing his enthusiasm for the tone and visuals. Over on his Twitter, he revealed that he has seen the pilot, and enjoyed it quite a lot! Here's what he had to say: 

Not only is the #Flash pilot EXCELLENT, but (for this) the dead-mom retcon doesn't grate. Great show, and Tom Cavanagh is astounding.

@GBerlanti @AJKreisberg My pleasure. "My name is Barry Allen, and I'm the fastest man alive." I can't wipe this stupid smile off my face.

After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only "meta-human" who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion -- and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won't be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become... The Flash.
