Infinite Frontier Writer Explains the Flash's 'Doctor Who' Appeal - CBR - Comic Book Resources

A new era for the Flash begins as part of DC's Infinite Frontier, with writer Jeremy Adams taking the reins on the Scarlet Speedster's comic book series. And on the eve of Adams' run beginning, the writer shares what he personally loves about the character.

Adams, who previously has written DC Original Animated Movies like Batman: Soul of the Dragon and the upcoming Justice Society: World War II, appreciates that the Flash is capable of traveling through space and time, with ramifications for the entire DC Universe.

"I'm much more in love with the Doctor Who kind of version of the Flash in terms of the Flash stories that go completely sideways, like, 'Oh, we're in another universe! We're in the past or the future! The Speed Force does this and that,'" Adams tells CBR. "I like the real zany, out of left field stuff because, in that way, I feel like he's not just a guy who can go fast but it adds another dimension to the character; he can go, not just fast, but anywhere in time and space. What does that mean? What does mean to the timeline and so many other things."

Adams' run begins with The Flash #768, joined by artists Brandon Peterson, Marco Santucci and David Lafuente. For Adams, the writer especially enjoyed stories that have far-reaching implications for the reality-altering possibilities of the Flash and looks forward to taking the Scarlet Speedster anywhere.

"I think when Geoff Johns did Flashpoint, it was such a key ingredient to look how really powerful this character possibly could be," Adams continues. "And I love that, one of my favorite things about the Flash is you can really go anywhere with him."

Written by Jeremy Adams and illustrated by Brandon Peterson, Marco Santucci and David Lafuente, The Flash #768 goes on sale March 30 from DC Comics.
