Crisis Week: The Flash

Crisis Week continues tonight at 8pm on The Flash.

One of my favorite comic characters is The Flash.  There have been multiple people who have worn the Flash costume over the years.  I was born when the collected series "Crisis on Infinite Earths".  Thus my generation Flash is Wally West who was originally Kid Flash.

The Flash that is the main character on the CW show is Barry Allen. In the comics, Barry's arch enemy is Reverse Flash. 

Wally West eventually gets his own Reverse Flash in the form of Dr. Hunter Solomon aka Professor Zoom in the comic books.

In the early seasons of CW's Flash series Zoom appeared and was terrifying.

Cutch took the moniker Zoom for Player's Weekend in 2018.

The Year was 1984

Cutch has appeared in many older set designs thanks to Archives and Heritage.

Over the summer he got the 1984 treatment thanks to Throwback Thursday.

Celebrating the first ever MLB Players Weekend, is a series of cards with the best nicknames from the inaugural weekend.

If you want to see some of Cutch's other cards from the 80s designs revisit my old post here.

Since the holidays are approaching I thought it would be fun to look back to 1984 and what all the holiday shopping trends were like.

Here's a link to the website I took the images from along with a write-up of each toy.  Some we carried over from 1983 and some became more popular in 1985.
