Now granted, Hal was speaking to Barry Allen when he said nice things about [...]

Is this my most controversial selection ever for these posts? It just might be … (I’ll point out that I posted this originally in May 2005, as I’ve been pointing out all along with these “flashbacks.” Blame 2005 Burgas if you don’t like these comics!

What I bought – 2 September 2009
My wish: DC should charge one thin dollar for every issue of Justice League: Gay for Justice. It’s so not worth four dollars, but man! for one dollar, I would be all over that just for the sheer entertainment value. Didn’t everyone love that panel of Prometheus slicing that woman’s head off? GOLD! And always [...]
