Recently the current New 52 Flash comics introduced their own Reverse Flash:

I believe this version was Danny West, though I'm not really aware of much else about him. So what do you think?
1. Though I wish I could give it a negative 100, this is just horrible. Whoever designed this should be embarrassed.
Liefeld could have created something better.
Now that I've seen this, I can never un-see it, and that's enough to ruin what's left of my day.
Lacks all the charm of the original Reverse Flash. 2, and that's being nice.
If Marvel owned the Flash, this would be their "Dark Flash". He looks like he was created 20 years ago, when everybody had to have claws.
1: On the plus side, it brings some variation to the standard 'way overdesigned' critique by also being awful in a number of other ways!

This design just doesn't seem to make any sense for a Reverse Flash, but it might okay for a villain with rock powers of some kind. As it is it's some weird mishmash of rock and Flash parts.
I'm actually very curious about the New 52 Flash. I'd like to know what his deal is, should probably do some research.
Blarg.
That is all.
okay, that is NOT all... the more I look at it, the more it feels like Venom-Flash, like the sybiote is covering him or something. This is NOT a good thing, especially for a character supposedly the "Reverse Flash".

He's Iris' brother, and frankly... he's just kinda lame in terms of backstory. He broke his father's back in a fight during his teenage years... and then when he gained superpowers he tried to steal the speed force to go back in time and correct his mistake... by killing his father before his teenage self could break his back. Yeah... compared to the FAR more interesting Hunter Zolomon and Eobard Thawne incarnations, he's just a really lame villain.
Not familiar with this particular version. But the costume is awful, doesn't make sense really. 2
C'mon you guys, this is clearly just flash breaking out of an obsidian shell after getting covered in lava and letting it cool down, duh! So much ignorance here...
