The Arrowverse version of The Black Hole seems to have a much broader range of interests than their comic book counterpart. Light, wore a distinctive jacket with a spiral pattern similar to the one in the pin worn by the transporter. This assassin, whom Cisco Ramon later dubbed Dr. Carver became immediately standoffish after Iris began asking him hard questions about company's research and she was nearly assassinated shortly thereafter by an assassin wielding a special photon rifle. Thankfully, Iris was approached shortly thereafter by an ex-employee of McCulloch Technologies, who suggested she turn her attention to the company's CEO Joseph Carver.

The mystery man later turned up dead in the same parking lot, with his car having exploded while he was in it. Iris was able to track down the man who had checked Esperanza out of the hospital in " The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1." She also recognized him among the crowd of people attending a high-class super-villain's party in "License to Elongate." When Iris confronted the man in a private parking garage, he claimed to be a transporter for Malestrom Couriers a company that catered to the rich and powerful in delivering anything, no questions asked.
The death was eventually determined to be the work of a metahuman assassin called Ultraviolet, who Iris West-Allen discovered was a young woman named Esperanza Garcia that had disappeared mysteriously after being hospitalized. The organization's existence was first hinted at in the second episode of the season, " A Flash Of The Lightning." The action of the episode saw Team Flash investigating the mysterious death of a man who was burned alive inside his car. I just want you to think about that for a moment.The Black Hole were a background presence in the first half of The Flash season 6.

Nowadays, if you pick up the nice fat book of Black Hole you may or may not notice that little note in the first couple of pages stating that it was originally published as a series of single issues between 1995-2005, but back then, trying to figure out where it was headed and what it all meant, those years just gave us more time to pore over each issue and try to read between those inky black brush strokes for Burns' hidden message. A girl I met quite randomly ended up letting me stay in her insanely interesting apartment while she was away for a week, it was strewn with all manner of zines and foreign comic books that I'd never seen before and she gushed about Black Hole, even though it was only just beginning. Pre-social media, there were so many things I'd never seen before, and one of the things I stumbled on upon was the first issue of Black Hole.
Not yet the hub of internet companies it would later become, rent was still cheap and so it was still home to all sorts of artists and strange, old shops, which very quickly changed the direction of my life. When I first moved to there in 1996, San Francisco was in a transitional period. It was impressive.īeyond the strange experiences of last night, this is a book which has long been a lurking in the firmament of my life. I couldn't get them to uncross, and eventually I succumbed to my body and surrendered to sleep for another half hour so that I could wake up in a slightly less physically confused state. Waking up itself was a shock too, because my eyes were crossed, which has never happened. When I did finally fall asleep, I dreamt about impersonal dismemberment and important shaving rituals which lingered upon waking even though them made no sense.
After I finished reading I lay awake for what felt like hours staring into the darkness and trying not to imagine that I could see anything in it.

First, the book is so good that there is absolutely no way that I could put it down without finishing it, so I was up half the night (and it is good enough so that I really can't rush it, even if I have already read it before.) Second, Black Hole is creepy, not in a generic horror movie way, where I get all twitchy and have to keep looking over my shoulder because I'm so on edge, but in an insidious, creep-into-my-subconscious-and-screw-with-my-dreams way. There are two reasons why this is a bad idea. Last night I picked up Charles Burn's Black Hole to read in bed.
