Linda Park on new Flash TV Series


First I am a huge Flash fan , the character is the focal point of my comic book collecting, hunting, gathering and everything in between. Second I have not been closely following the news of the new Flash TV series because I felt all the show was so far away, now that summer is almost over and Fall is nearly here I started watching some of the promos.  I caught the recent Weather Wizard one and was very happy to see Linda Park as a news reporter.

You might ask why was I happy to see Linda Park as opposed to the Weather Wizard or any of the other characters. Answer is simple, one of favorite runs of The Flash was when Wally West took over for Barry Allen and he developed, over time, a romantic connection with Linda Park. To me it was the essence of what made the series great. I wouldn't give to much away to those that haven't read them yet. If you haven't get out there and pick up volume 2 of the Flash series ASAP.

Okay so more about Linda Park as this is why you are here, is it not?

Linda Park made her first appearance in The Flash Volume 2 #28, she was created by William Messner-Loebs. You Canuck up her first appearance for around a dollar. The Wally West Flash series is worth taking a look at, it ran longer then any other Flash series.

About Linda Park
Linda Park was a reporter for Keystone City she regularly cover the Flash and at first really didn't like Wally West. As time went on the two fell in love, were married and had twins.

On Flash TV Series
Linda Park briefly appeared in  the second season Arrow episode "Three Ghost," played by Olivia Cheng. The episode also features Barry Allen rather than Wally West. She is shown on television reporting on the particle accelerator that will ultimately give rise to Barry's fateful lab accident.

So In the comics Linda Park is Wally West wife and mother of his children, hopefully her appearing on the new Flash series means that at some point we will see WallyWest, fingers crossed.

You have a little more then a month before the series starts get out and pick up some Flash comics and keep your eyes out for all the collectibles that will be hitting store shelfs.

Good Luck on your Hunt!

Plastique will be on New Flash Show


Most comic book fans can't wait for the new Flash television series to start especially since DC Entertainment keeps announcing all the guest that are coming directly from the comics. So I order to get the fans ready we are going to start giving you the background of each character that is set to appear, this will include information on their first appearance so you can hunt one down and ad it to your collection.

We start with the villian Plastique who will appear during season one of the show.

Plastique was created by Gene Conway and Pat Broderick in 1982. She made her first appearance on The Fury of Firestorm #7. You can own a copy for a couple of bucks. If you have not read the a fury of Firestorm before we strongly suggest picking up more than just issue #7.

First appearance
As a result of some genetic engineering  Bette Sans Souc becomes Plastique. She is given the ability to project explosive force from her body and becomes a terrorist who attempted a suicide bombing of a newspaper. Firestorm defeats her.

About Plastique
Plastique is an enemy of Firestorm and  Captain Atom, whom she falls in love with. She is also an occasional member of the Suicide Squad. In DC’s New 52 she continues to be an enemy of Firestorm and has become a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains.

On The Flash
Plastique will be played by Kelly Frye. It is rumored that she will be an ally to the Flash. Producers describe her character as "a fetching young redhead who was a bomb specialist with the Army before she was injured by an IED in Iraq." 

So this should be the start of your characters of the Flash TV show collection. We will be looking at all the other characters set to appear on the Flash so stay tuned.

Good Luck on Your Hunt!
