Honestly, I wasn’t too fond of this week’s comic book releases. Also, my weekend was a drunken haze and I don’t have time to review anything else, so I’m going for what I consider this week’s best comic: Flash Rebirth #5.

Who else agrees with me that the first three issues of Flash Rebirth was a mess? Barry was whining like crazy (I seriously wonder why Hal didn’t knock some sense into Barry), speedsters were dying in an attempt to create tension, and the death of Barry’s mom was shoehorned into the storyline while it made no sense at all.

This issue finally comes along and explans why Barry’s angsting all this time, and why his mom’s dead when it was established in previous continuity that his parents were alive to see Wally take up the mantle. Yeah the Reverse Flash was responsible for every bad shit that happened in Barry’s life. Heck, he even broke Barry’s arm in 6th grade. I mean, wtf, you have the power to go back in time and you push a kid down a flight of stairs? That motherfucker. (continue reading…)
