The Flash #17 - "So Within"

[laughing_tree]

I read -- or reread in many cases -- a lot of the best Flash stories out there and I kind of slowly realized that there's this really interesting friction between stories which start from the perspective of "Well, he can run really fast and you don't need to understand why, that's not important, just watch him go and do some stuff." And there's another separate canon of stories which are all about "We need to lean heavily into understanding how and why he does this stuff," which relies upon a whole ton of cod science and really getting into the nitty-gritty and the detail of the why and the how of it. And both of those ideas, both of those approaches, have their virtues but they also annoy me for different reasons, and it kind of slowly came to me that there is a third route... -- Si Spurrier

W.E.S. ? Love it.

Eclipso quoting pop culture? ... Kinda makes him scarier.

Anyone else hear Hank Scorpio's voice when they read Eclipso here? At least while he's in Warlord mode?
