Speed Force (2023-) #2

by Jarrett Williams, Daniele Di Nicuolo (inker), Francesco Mortarino (inker)

As Wallace and Avery race to uncover the mystery of the missing S.T.A.R. Labs scientists, something appears to be affecting their friends-is it tied to the bubbles popping up all over Keystone, or the "spooky Speed Force stuff" Mr. Terrific is warning everyone about? Also, a classic Flash character appears- and is really into EDM, but to what end? The young Speedster team-up continues!

This is maybe one of the worst mainstream comics I've read. I have zero idea who it's aimed at, as; It's drawn and written like a Pokémon cartoon, but it's obviously not really aimed at kids as no children are going to be buying a random-ass Speedforce comic that requires you to have prior knowledge of the Rebirth Teen Titans & Super-Man of China titles. It's just... horrendous, and tone deaf. It's Mister Terrific listening to Spotify with kids, basically.

Oh and the way the white people talk in this is like a Peter Griffin cut away on Family Guy. It borders on Parody.

After a strong first issue, this second issue has lost its way a little bit. I found myself very lost as to what was actually happening in the overall plot. The individual scenes are very fun though, with the character interactions being pretty enjoyable.

Maybe this has something to do with me not being very familiar with most of the supporting cast? I have a feeling there are a other comics that introduced them proper, but it would have been nice to have a bit of a refresher for newcomers (like me).

It sounded like someone who isn’t a teenager tried to write teen speak. I got lost after the first page and didn’t come back.

Gonna be hard to find a title worse than this one.
