i like flash comics a lot

see the thing is i’ve never truly convinced someone to start reading cape comics and i imagine that this is true for most other people who are also into the genre because there is genuinely no feasible way to get through the sales pitch without shooting yourself in the foot. “superhero comics are great and i love them,” i say, “now here’s a list of all my favourite series, here’s a website to pirate them all because you can’t access the full story anywhere else without spending obscene amounts of money, and here’s a itemized list i made to show you the order in which you should read everything, please let me know if you have any questions.” i’m literally just giving them homework and a brand new computer virus of course no one ever takes me up on it.

sometimes i see people complain about how complicated the flash timeline and familial tree are and while i can understand the frustration quite frankly i would love it if dc took it to the next extreme by making it so that one of wally's descendants eventually became the biological parent of iris, meaning that his own however many great great granddaughter is who he considers to be a mother figure growing up. it has the potential to give him a complex. it most definitely will give iris a complex. no one will be better off for it and it might actively make the series worse. anyway. looks pleadingly toward the camera.
