The TerrifiCon adventure hits top speed as I bring you my Q&A with a true superhero icon: John Wesley Shipp!

He’s the OG.
He’s the Scarlet Speedster.
He’s the man who’s appeared on Comic Book Central more than anyone else.

John Wesley Shipp — the original Flash, the fastest man alive, and an Emmy-winning actor whose legacy spans decades of superhero storytelling.

We dig into his time in the suit, his return to the DC Universe on The Flash, his incredible career across stage, TV, and film, and the stories only he can tell — all live from TerrifiCon!

Justice is served — TerrifiCon style! It’s Episode 506 of Comic Book Central, and Part 6 of my TerrifiCon adventure brings you an EPIC Q&A with two legends who helped define a generation of heroes: Carl Lumbly (Martian Manhunter) & Phil LaMarr (Green Lantern)!

Together on stage, they bring heart, humor, behind-the-scenes stories, and superhero wisdom worthy of the Watchtower itself. If you love the Justice League animated series, if you love the actors behind the voices, if you love storytelling that shaped an era — this is the one.
