I give this one an 8/10 – but of course, that’s just my opinion. The story really doesn’t do anything to advance the overall story arc for THE FLASH, but it does catch fans up who may not be as familiar with James Jesse. It’s a great primer on a character who is being reintroduced to the DCU. This was the kind of story that would fit well into an issue of the old SECRET ORIGINS series. The explanation for his being missing all these years actually makes sense in continuity. While there are a lot of elements from prior stories that are here (a great nod to long time fans), the few twists in the backstory seem to work here as well.He was also given new 'toys' in addition to James originals. Robin While the first Trickster (James Jesse) was working for the F.B.I., teenager Axel Walker stole all of Jesses gadgets and shoes and became the new Trickster. You’ll understand his backstory well enough to be up to speed, even if you are new to this old character. Youre a rude punk, and, like most of your kind, youre very, very dumb. That said, this issue is a GREAT jumping on place for people who only know the Axel version of the character.This is a true in-depth character study of the Trickster.
We get mentions of some prior tidbits of history, from his time with the Rogues to his brief stints as a private investigator and as someone working for the FBI. Jesse does eventually invent those famous shoes, and goes on his own crime spree. We see several sequences from his childhood as a way of framing the story, featuring his fear of heights. In this case, his parents are also con artists…and terrible parents as well. Trickster still comes from a family of circus aerialists, the Flying Jesses. This issue is a one-off feature on a classic member of the Rogues, combining elements of prior stories with just a twist here and there to bring things up to date. He seems more dangerous than ever…but isn’t he supposed to be dead? I mean, I know “dead” is a relative term in comics, but what happened here? How does his story fit into canon now? Don’t worry, all questions will be answered as we bring the Trickster front and center in the latest issue of THE FLASH! Wanna know more?
