After all this time, it looks like the Flash still hasn't figured out who his true nemesis actually is. The Flash #51 reveals that one of his Rogues may be the archenemy he and fans never saw coming.

It's hard to pin down just one nemesis for the Fastest Man Alive, as Flash has a number of compelling villains. Many may think of the Reverse-Flash, aka Eobard Thawne, the villainous speedster from the future who's dedicated his life to destroying Barry Allen. Some may say Gorilla Grodd, whose intelligence makes him one of the Scarlet Speedsters dangerous foes. But Captain Cold is usually who wins out the top spot as Barry's greatest enemy. As the leader of the Rogues, Leonard Snart has coordinated more successful jobs and evaded the Flash enough times to make him Barry's craftiest foe. And it doesn't hurt that Cold has a weapon that can freeze the Flash in his tracks.

When the Riddler decided to test his brain against the Flash, it was a legacy hero who came to the rescue, proving that a hero passing on their mantle can be an unexpected and effective secret weapon against their villains.

The Flash is without a doubt the fastest man alive, and he has an entire rogues' gallery to challenge that speed, with such heavy hitters as the Rogues, Gorilla Grodd, Eobard Thawne, or the entire Legion of Zoom. Meanwhile, Batman has perhaps the most iconic rogues' gallery in all of comic books, with such legendary characters as Joker, Two-Face, Bane, and many more. But with a shared universe, what would happen if their villains decided to switch heroes? Batman has fought Reverse Flash before but things quickly got out of hand when a Batman villain attacked the Flash.

About a year ago, DC had quite the full plate: Not only were they knee-deep in their new Rebirth initiative, but they were also waiting to unleash the Suicide Squad movie on the masses. So, being wise, they coincided Task Force X’s relaunched book with said film, with a lineup reflecting what was offered on the big screen. Basically, if you wanted more of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc and the rest of the crew, all you had to do was pick up a comic written by Rob Williams.

In the time since, the series has not only forged its own path, but has also become one of the better team-up books DC has to offer. Yes, a lot has gone down, but right now is the time to jump on the bandwagon if you...

DC Comics' "New Suicide Squad" #21, available June 15, 2016 is written by Tim Seeley and illustrated by Gus Vazquez, Juan Ferreyra, with a cover by Ferreyra:

"...what do you get when you mix the deadly 'Suicide Squad' with the 'Fist of Cain' killer cult and 'Rose Tattoo', the resurrected demon of murder?

"This will be a very, very bad day for 'Amanda Waller'..."

In director David Ayer's "Suicide Squad" :

"...assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated 'Super Villains', provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal...

"...and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity.

"'Officer Amanda Waller' has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate...

"...despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do.

"However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed...

"...but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail...

"...will the 'Suicide Squad' resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?..."

(Cbr) Coming soon (but not from Marvel). Walt Disney Animation has premiered an adorable two-minute clip from "Big Hero 6" that highlights the relationship between young Hiro and his robot Baymax, and has me looking forward to the Nov. 7 release of the film. Even from the limited glimpses we’ve gotten of them, the characters are already appealing. I sure would be down for reading more stories about them. However, Marvel has no plans to release any comic books in conjunction with the premiere of "Big Hero 6" — no reprints of the original stories that inspired from the movie, no new comics … nothing. As the first Disney animated movie to take advantage of the House of Mouse’s $4 billion purchase of the House of Ideas, you’d think this would be pretty exciting for Marvel, and something it would want to promote. And yet, Marvel is surprisingly quiet about "Big...
