Some thoughts about Flashpoint Beyond #3


What does the Superman want?

Thomas Wayne has been found by the Kryptonian who has been imprisoned for years in his world and now he will learn that everyone and everything here matters.

Getting better overall.

Geoff Johns, Jeremy Adams and (ugh) Tim Sheridan deliver a new installment where they explore more about the Flashpoint universe, this time focusing on its often forgotten Superman. This is very appreciated due that he was a character that didn't really have that much of a role during the original event and here we learn more about his actual backstory, something that actually makes him look closer to Robert Kirkman's Invincible and while some of that might seem derivative at this point, it also fits the tone of this reality where everything goes wrong.

There's also interesting details like what happened to Poison Ivy here and funnily enough, to the Reverse-Flash. Mind you, this is automatically a bit of a letdown since I believe Thawne a perfect resolution during Joshua Williamson's Flash run but this might be part of another timeline or, and more important, this might be because the heavy emphasis they give to Hypertime here whose concept is based on that every version or universe can happen at the same time.

Best of all, is that the narration is getting better with less heavyhanded exposition and more dialogue that gets to the point.

Xermanico and Mikel Janin share the pencils and they both do a great job during their respective sections following the script perfectly.

Solid read, hope the next one follows this trend.
