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.You’ll understand his backstory well enough to be up to speed, even if you are new to this old character. 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.
If you are looking for a lot of The Flash in this issue of THE FLASH…that doesn’t happen here.This original Trickster is ready to wreak some havok in Central City…but that’s for another issue of THE FLASH, stay tuned for that. Now, he’s back…and more dangerous than he has ever been. Those who did remember James Jesse thought him dead, and the rest just forgot about him entirely. Wolfe wanted the world to forget Jesse ever existed…and to a large extent he succeeded. Nope, no dying here.īut, what DID happen to him? James Jesse was caught and taken to Iron Heights, where Warden Wolfe went on a campaign to break him. What we are missing is that famous death story that involved the Pied Piper dragging his lifeless body around. 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? Follow us after the jump! The Trickster – the original James Jesse Trickster – recently returned to Central City.
