For those of you who wanted Barry back.... be careful what you wish for.

Alternate cover to Flash: Rebirth #3

How they are going to reconcile this with what is going on over in Blackest Night #0 I know not.

	...wtf is with the left leg?! (Or, you know, most of him, but...seriously!) (Reply to this)

	I actually find this cover sloppy. There's no flow to the placement of the images, the colors are dull, and Bart and Jay just seem randomly tacked on. Also, anatomy fail! Did someone create a "nothing works that way" tag yet for S_D 2.0? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anatomy fail I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and saying Black Flash's anatomy is deliberately distorted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was wondering if they were going for a satyr-leg or something, but he's not like that on the other cover. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We can't see the part of the other leg that would who if both are satyr like. And note the two toed feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I meant the other cover, which has both of his feet on it. And they are both normal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ooops! I fail at reading. Guess we'll know for sure when we see some interior art. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really have a problem with the skeleton being all warped and deformed (if they decide to do it consistently), but the anatomy is still kind of wonky anyways, even when you take perspective into account. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Are you new to covers? It means that Barry thinks he's a monster, not that he's going to actually look like that in the comic. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think it's fine because I don't think anything you are seeing is supposed to make a great deal of sense. It's all reality fracture sort of imagery I think. Not quite a surrealist piece but I think they were trying for something similar. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's not anatomy fail, it's a deliberate distortion of the body for the monstrous effect. Compare creepy Barry to the other characters and it's obvious. I have some issues with EVS's art but anatomy isn't one of them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Just a hunch, buuuuuut I think Geoff Johns will be able to work out the Blackest Night connections. (Reply to this)

	At least the colorist got Bart's hair color right. (Reply to this)
