Thank you Carmine Infantino

I was very sad today to learn of the passing of the great Carmine Infantino. He was one of my favorite artists of all time, bar none. His influences in comics are both legendary and immeasurable. He, with writer Robert Kanigher, ushered in the Silver Age of comics with The Flash #123 in 1961. Giving birth to the DC Universe that the world, at large, is familiar with. Here are some of my favorite Infantino covers, but I don't really think he ever did a bad one.

-Godspeed, thank you and God Bless You, Carmine.

FLASH!.............AH-AH!!

OK, we're not talking about THAT Flash for once(But I WILL be talking about him SOON). Today is about FLASHPOINT and how excited that I am for it.
-When I was a kid, I clung right away to Spider-Man, Batman, Captain America & all those guys. I was primarily a Marvel kid. Marvel did a GREAT job of intertwining their comics in those days, so that characters would jump in & out of other characters books almost on a monthly basis. But, DC really didn't do that too often. The way I learned about the "second tier" DC heroes was the same way everyone else did-the Super Friends cartoon.
-Then, when I was 10 years old, I happened across The Trail of The Flash and fell in love with the character, in no small part to Carmine Infantino's artwork.
-Today, DC Comics revealed(most)details about this years FLASHPOINT line-wide crossover focusing on The Flash.

In addition to the 5 part Flashpoint title, there will be several important one-shots and FIFTEEN mini-series. FIFTEEN. I've never suffered from "Event Fatigue", and as long as the stories are good, nobody should. BRING IT ON!!!!
