Flash and Betty: Special Bulletin

The above scene is from “Venom” issue 12 which came out this week. This current arc has been really good and I suggest everyone check it out.

Why is this scene of interest to us? Because Flash and Betty break up! 

This breakup is significant in their history because it’s their first on panel breakup even though Betty is in off-panel land. Donovan Grant joked they couldn’t get her actress to film scenes for this issue. Betty and Flash’s three prior breakups all happened off panel. 

I’m sure this is part of a larger plan to get them back together (especially with the marriage hints from the end for “Spider-Island-Hashtag”).

  1. Thanks for the apology Bertone, I really appreciate it…

    I’m not always capable of getting my books on Wednesday… sometims it’s only on the weekend… nonetheless, keep up the good work.

  2. Believe it or not, behind my “Die Betty die” tirades there is a love for these characters and there relationships. Most of the “I hate Betty” stuff is for entertainment purposes. I like the idea of Betty/Flash in an on again off again relationship. It works for them.

  3. Flash dating Betty ages the character and makes him less relatable. Maybe he’ll meet up with Michelle Gonzales next.

  4. @Mike

    Fair point and one I thought about. I waited till Wednesday night (although I could’ve waited longer), and it’s one page and one plot point and so much more happens in the pages, including the return of another character and the following page giving us another major turning point in Flash’s life. If you didn’t like being spoiled, that’s a valid feeling and I could only apologize.

  5. Flash can walk, prosthetic legs or the symbiote kinda did what it did to Normie in Spider-Girl in cleaning the wounds healed thus restoring Flash’s limbs entirely? Out of the blue?

  6. The second closest thing they had to an on panel breakup was in the Mackie run where Flash walked off saying he was looking for Betty so he could dump her. Every other time they would be together one issue and single with no explanation in the next.

  7. In talking it over with you, it hadn’t dawned on me that this was their first on-panel breakup.
