Chubacca7 Barry Allen is also my Flash. He's the version I resonate most with.

Chubacca7 for me, it was Wally West. I could relate with him the most. And on top of this, his runs opened up the Flash mythos to what it is today

This is like a time capsule from an era when the flash was a good show.
"All they had to do was receive a bite from a radioactive spider..." Damn, If only I knew it was so easy I could've been Spiderman, and not some guy out there.

Rob i know i dont speak for everyone but you make comic books that would ordinarily not be interesting and turn them into something exciting and in depth. There is so much information and history in comics that i didnt know how to begin but you gave me that starting point and helped breakdown the information so I could really get into it. When i explain these comics to my wife its like telling a great novel or a good movie. Its not just pictures and superheros. There are great stories, amazing characters, tough choices, twisting mystery, and dire situations. On the surface its just another conic book but you help readers like me see that its actually a great story worth reading. Thanks Rob for all the hard work you do in making stories like this reach the common reader who would otherwise be lost or give up on comics entirely. ROB CORE SOLUTE!!!

Read Flash (and many others) for years now, always loved Wally but Barry will forever be my flash
i know that everyone is like "wally's muh flash, barry's lame"...i like wally too. but barry is sooo underrated. half the stuff wally knows, barry taught him how. barry saved the dc multiverse many times. barry's one of the main reasons why wally's such a great flash. also, barry is very much cleverer than wally. wally is a bit...lazy. barry developed his own first suit, wally was like "eh, speed force can take care of it, i guess." i love wally, but barry gets too much hate. also, he's nothing like that idiot in the show.

Himani Fafale wally has a skill barry doesn’t know which is creating speed force constructs. with this skill wally can essentially manufacture his own costume out of will whenever he uses his speed at a moment of thought. which occurs through the speed force

People have their opinions, just like people argue whether Hal Jordan or John Stewart is the definitive Green Lantern.
Thank you, Rob, for covering my favorite superhero ever. You did such a fantastic job with delivering not just backstory for The Flash, but showing just how important he is to DC and the comic book world.
Thanks for the upload. Barry Allen is my favorite speedster.
It's not a ComicsExplained video if you don't hear the phrase "What I wanna do here is"
I liked your old format but this is much better
So Rob, what you’re telling me is “the flash is most likely the most important character in comic books”

Great video. it's not easy to boil down all the info of a character like Barry and have it make sense. you did an excellent job
The way you casually explain everything and leave in mistakes is what got me subscribed and watching your older videos. It reduces the distance from creator to consumer, which has been a big deal this decade.
I appreciate how you're personality has come through in more recent videos. It's a definite improvement and I enjoy it.
This video is actually amazing. Rob, thank you for this detailed and easy-to-understand explanation. I'm a recent subscriber, and I simply can't get enough of your videos. Keep up the great work, man!
Thanks Rob, you have made my day with this video.
this was EXTREMELY informative and comprehensive. thank you, man.
These kind of videos are when the channel is at it's strongest.
I really liked this character discussion, and I'm not even a Flash fan. I'd love to see more of these!
This was an amazing video Rob, keep up the amazing content!
Rob, keep doing what you do, we appreciate it, man!
Think I watch ComicsExplained the most good job and thank you.
Love your content dude! Running time don't even matter. I'd watch you explain all of DC Rebirth (for example) for hours dude, so much knowledge and information learned!
Tbh i found your older style stuff to be really chill. Its nice to have a story read calmly to you
I loved this video!! Thank you for the upload.
yes please, more barry allen explanation and flash stuff
This is a much more engaging video format keep it up!
love this. more character discussions please
Great video mate, it was very well explained.

Yeah, Barry is a comic book collector himself. You can see this in many silver and bronze age stories.
What I love about Barry is his struggle to be the light. Season 1 of the show captured that :)
it amazes me how much you know. love your videos!
I really love the free flowing commentary Rob. Please cover Punisher Max though!
I'm glad you are free flowing it Rob
You're ALWAYS my go to when I need to remember a character or learn about a character! You're the boss on KZread with comics! No bullshit!

Tilitus you're faster in air then on foot
love your videos dude. I like learning about comics and all the worlds the writers build. If I can make one suggestion only though. Sometimes your background music is too loud and it is hard to focus on what you are saying without being distracted by the music
yo... keep up this remastering thing going. its cool being you
Can you do a video on Savitr. With the Flash tv show introducing him into its mythos, it'd be cool to see the full story of where this character stood in the comics. Love your videos, the style, everything. Keep it up.
I mean, I got into you based on your "old" content. I liked the old style, but I like your new style too. It's all good, Rob. I just appreciate the information and insight into comics and comic book history.
13:00 Honestly it makes just as much sense. He is essentially a typical stalker.
I've always loved the thought of the brightest day/darkest night. If you could redo those videos and make them more indepth(if that's possible) that would be great!
I love that I finally found the video where rob finally goes into free form mode with his voice
Love the free flowing style!
Just to let you know Rob: it is probably the best thing to do to listen to your videos while gaming
love your new style
Rob, I love this channel man!
good job man, keep it up
Great video dude, Please do Hal Jordan next!
I really enjoy your videos. I typically watch three of four a a time while doing dishes and cooking. Man, you're good. I particularly love the way you present these comics. Even the asides. They are so thorough. And best yet, entertaining. Please keep making more. I was completely unaware that the Flash had as much impact on DC as it did. Neither did I know how much fall out bringing him back would be. I always saw Wally West as his stand in till Barry returned. I'm surprised that the writers didn't do for Wally what they did for Dick, Jason, and Tim. Meaning, as these 'Robins' transitioned out of being Robin and becoming Nightwing, Red Robin, and so forth, that Wally would be a speedster to go by another name and move on to cover another area of the US and become a 'Speed-Family' like there is a 'Bat-Family'. Now, I know there is a 'Speed-Family', however, I think Wally could find his place there and not simply be another Flash.
Your voice is immaculate in any setting
well that was way more informative then I thought. since I've been killing videos like a mad man here things connect and fall into place with each vid whether it's dc or marvel.
rob will there eventually be a re-remastery of Barry if there's another event linked with him?
we love the free flow and your personality too rob!!!!!!!!!!
Great job with this one, when are you going to make a JLvsSS video... Also looking forward to the new Hulk today
Will done mate, I can only imagine the amount of research you did to us this lovely sum up of the fastest man or should I say men ☺☺ in the DC world. We appreciate it a lot. Keep the good work up.
That was really good 🤘🏽🤙🏽👌🏽
Yea! Its the return of golden age Rob videos, this reminds me of an extended version of the lead up to Infinity Gauntlet videos. Also a vs. video between Uncle Ben and Pa Kent would be interesting.
thanks Comic X you're so dope!
Hey Rob who are you thinking of doing for the next vs vid? It would be good to see what your verdict is for Savage Hulk vs your standard man of steel Superman.
This was awesome hopefully you do Green Lantern
Love your stuff!
Hey Rob huge fan. I just wanted to say I love the Marvel series so far. History of all the characters is very interesting. I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a backstory on Toxin? From SpiderMan series he is the child of Venom and Carnage which is a pretty cool concept. Have a good New Year!
Hey your videos are great!!! I just need your help, I want to read comics on Flash but from the starting like from Barry Allen as the flash but I m confussed where to start?? Please help me..
really like your character explain videos. can you do one for green arrow?
Rob: BARRY ALLEN EXPLAINED Me: *learned the entirety of comic publication history*
Nice video! If you can, please talk about Donna Troy, I'm having a hard time knowing her origin :(
so, since they revamp everything and I'm a newbie, which comic should i start reading first that introduces me to justice league then to individual heroes?
Rob I don't really read comics at all but I watch your videos
Good job man 👍👍
this was an excellent video I'm now a little more smarter about the flash
Dumb question but is Jeff Johns the inspiration for John Jonz the Martian Man Hunter?
Loved the video! :3
Nice job
have you done the skrulls storyline? if you havent can you please do that story
more character discussions would be great
Couldn't agree more with you being yourself in the videos. I'll admit that I stopped watching your stuff a while back because it was a little boring. Awesome info, but even you sounded bored lol now you sound like you're enjoying yourself and it's SO much better and more fun. I'm definitely subscribing again.
may have been loving Wally in JLU cartoon, Barry Allen will always be my boi!
+ComicsExplained what's the name of the song at the end
Hey Rob! Can you do a video on the Negative Speed Force?
love this. quick question, has pre new 52 wally and superman met yet?
Great job I would love an explanation of the origin of Quicksilver and the Scarlett Witch,. The limits of Wanda's powers kind of lost me at some point during the Avengers run when she had those kids . if you can do a video that would be great thanks and keep up the good work
you should bring your old intro back it was cool
hey rob love your videos i play them to customers in my store to help them buy comics thanks ( no commission sorry) i need to ask is convergence still cannon as it prevented the crisis from happening (unless i miss read it to be honest it was kinda crap at the end)
hey CE. can you explain the electic supeman?
Oh yeah, this is what I want to see when I wake up in the morning 😍
I've talked a lot of trash about Geoff Johns....But I love what he's doing behind the helm now. I wish Marvel had someone like that that could bring some true cohesion to their titles. But for now....We have DC! Here's one thing....I would like to see you cover some of the craziness that you touched on but then jumped straight to Crisis on. Death of Iris Allen at the hands of Professor Zoom, Flash's murder trial, and then the move to the future. I know this came right before Crisis, so it gets lost in the shuffle, but it does impact on Impulse and his story quite a bit. Anyway, keep up the great work. I know doing a character that has been around as long as Barry is daunting and it's easier to hit the high points in an introduction.
just wondering - did you make that music?
Do Cyborg. His New 52, 12 issue series was one of the best stories to come out of New 52
Continuity is stil a bit wonky. Barry Allen is trying to date Iris West in The Flash comics, but he's trying to date that new Green Lantern in Justice League.
Hey Rob, I have a question. From everything that you know or have read about Barry Allen, do you think that the comics Barry Allen will be the same in the DCEU movies?? I myself don't know much about Barry Allen. That's why I'm here in your channel, to learn. But from what I've heard about the movie Barry Allen, he sounds like more of a Wally WEST character. Why are your thoughts about this? You think they will be accurate on who Barry Allen is in the movies? Thanks man!
i just learned so much flash trivia jesus
hey rob, can you do a video about the xmen and avengers jets? which one is better in all aspects?
more flash stuff please bro! everyone loves the speedsters
@comicsexplained Rob, you should do a top 10 Writers and Artists video in your opinion because you mention them so often and I know absolutely nothing about Writers/artist but know a ton about the characters. I just never paid attention to who wrote what.
Hey Rob, could you do some Dark Horse, Image, and Mirage comics.
Hey rob what is your book called???
Great video, please do a video of flash vs Spider-Man.

I really like Spider-Man but in all honesty flash especially Barry Allen would destroy Spider-Man! Spider-Man has like a less than 10% chance. Say if Spider-Man joined up with ironman then maybe the chance would be 50%!
This was great ! I love Barry Allen and walle west. And I was wondering why they called the flash Wally in The justice league when my flash was Barry . But I think speeding all the time in the speed force he should be the ultimate and main flash and yes Wally was the funnier flash and he was great but Barry created flash point that should show the extent to his power even tho most of his power was introduce through Wally I like Barry due to the fact his personality is kinda more serious but have a lil sense of humor .

I think DCAU Flash was Wally because Wally was The Flash at the time, Barry was died in 1985 during Crisis and was brought back in 2008 during Final Crisis.
