For example, I hated the way he set up that new female Rogue, what was her name, Black-something, as a major new villainess, then he desexualized her and had her attacked by an angry mob, and then never used her again.

Rockhopper Lad Fabulous and Sparkly! Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,661 The Pyngwyn Colonies I have to confess that I like Jay Garrick and Wally West much better than Barry Allen. They're more interesting. Having said that, I've very much enjoyed both the 1990s and current Flash TV series. The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Then again, I'm also the kind of the crazy fan who thinks the Trial of the Flash was one of the best and most underrated Flash stories. Keep up with what I've been watching lately!

I also thought Johns' Captain Cold was a cheesy "tuff-guy" poser. I couldn't take him seriously the way Johns obviously wanted readers to.
