| Welcome to the world of Tangent Comics — where you only know the names. Parallel Lines: A DC Comics Tangent Universe Podcast is a bi-weekly, issue-by-issue exploration of DC Comics’ Tangent Universe events, hosted by Shawn Engel and Michael Bradley.
“What a triple-fab day! It is like totally poppins!”
She’s back! Faster than a speeding bullet and, like, more fab than a (insert some hip teen thing here). She’s the Flash, and someone’s targeting her friends — again! Join the fun as returning Todd Dezago, and new art team Paul Peletier and Andy Lanning, take another visit to the world of the Flash and end up “Making Light of the Sitation.”

I was surprised but also glad to hear that Shawn is a fan of Paul Pelletier! This comic was the first time where I saw his art and I absolutely loved his take on the characters, especially Lia! It made me an instant fan, needless to say. In fact, if there was one Lia artist I would pick to do the art duties on a future Tangent Flash comic once again, it would be Pelletier. The way I figure, between Lolita Lia from Gary Frank and Cute Bubbly Teen Lia from Pelletier, the choice should be more than obvious. (And I don’t sliiiiightly mind Frank’s art, so um yeah.)
Other than that, I am glad to see you guys pretty much hit all the important spots on this one. I was the one who commented on the other Flash episode with my very biased (possibly rude) fan insights, and I was happy hearing you guys say this comic was excellent and that you enjoyed it more than the first one! The back matter for this comic is a bit frustrating because Dezago let slip a detail that we might have seen developed even more, had there been a third wave of Tangent. Heck, maybe even an answer as to why Lia was undercover in her father’s team in the first place! (And other questions).
P.S.
I realize this question comes about 14-15 episodes late, but what is the closing song? It’s really nice and as far as I know, this podcast is the only place where I’ve ever heard it!
