I'd buy it just for that art. Say what you will about The Flash, that comic cover is incredible. I’d buy it just for that art.

Not sure if or when it is coming back, but for now: holding. Yeah, I was sorting through my boxes the other day and came across the few issues of the Twelve and was wondering the same exact thing. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a "Spider-man/ Black Cat" Kevin Smith type deal where the issues come out 3 years later. Also, The Flash's most appealing thing to me is his Rogue's Gallery. While not as diabolical as a Lex Luthor or Doctor Doom, they do make for some pretty great comic stories. They would be considered C list villains, but they often cross the line of being a group of has beens, into a group of awesomely evil villains. If you are at all interested in giving The Flash a chance: Terminal Velocity is your best bet. I don't think I can totally sell you on reading it, if you don't like the concept of the character anyways, but it is one of the best books to read if you want to. http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Terminal-Velocity-Mark-Waid/dp/1563892499/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239039330&sr=8-2 The last I heard about the Twelve is that it was on hold.

So...he's a guy who runs fast? Next. Alright, I'm sure there's more to it than that, but yeah...the general concept doesn't do it for me. Incidentally, and fairly off-topic, what the hell happened to The Twelve? It was my favorite series going, and they only had to put out 12 god damned issues, and they stopped at like, issue 7 or 8 or some shit. What in the hell? Are they ever going to finish that series?
