Francis Manapul is a comic book artist living in Toronto, Canada currently working for DC comics. His list of credits include the forthcoming Adventure Comics, and Superman Batman. In the past he's worked on titles like Legion of Super-Heroes, Iron and the Maiden, Necromancer, Sept Guerrieres, Tomb Raider, Darkness, G.I Joe and of course Witchblade.
Captain Cold makes his explosive New 52 debut, and it’s glorious. His new powers aren’t tech-based anymore—they’re biological, making him even deadlier. The fight between him and Flash is beautifully choreographed, but what really stands out is the emotional tension. Cold isn’t just evil—he’s a man pushed too far by circumstance. This issue is personal, fast-paced, and beautifully illustrated.
3.0 - Another stupefyingly beautiful issue. But, here's the thing with Manapul's take on the Flash so far - it's either world-ending stakes that he doesn't have the gravitas or maturity with which to contend, or he's fighting garden-variety sub-Batman villains with restrictions on his many massive feats and it seems incredibly pointless.
