So my Easter-time Flash binge reading continues, and I found this costumed criminal in Flash #130, The Fashioneer ... No really that's his name, and apparently fashion houses pay him to use his "time power" to "send styles back in time so that designers can get a jump on their competitors." And okay, I find it odd that he wouldn't simply get game scores or lottery numbers for himself, but what I am really wondering is, what kind of fashion house would trust someone dressed like that to pick out the successful styles from the future collections he sees?!?

I really like Messner-Loebs much better.


I don't think I*ve read any of their issues yet. They've written the earlier ones, right? So far I kind of started buying with Waid's issues from "Flash Year One" working my way forward (currently in the 130s though still missing a bunch), and also the current issues working my way backward (for now I've read 189 oat later) with a couple of issues inbetween I've also read. I figured if I wanted to get the current issues Waid's run would be a good starting point because he seemed to have sort of "revamped" Flash, rather than starting at the beginning of the current series.

Just to clarify, it's one writer, William Messner-Loebs, and yeah, he had the run before Waid, #15-#61. Waid's run is a good starting point, but I like Loebs' issues an awful lot as well, and recommend you take a look at some point. (Among other things, he created Linda and made Piper into a member of the supporting cast.)

Oh I fully intend to own and read the whole series-- eventually. Too bad annoying inconveniences like lacking money (and even reading time) always get in one's way... ;)
