Carol Ferris is angry that Hal wasn’t there to save Ferris Aircraft. Never mind saving other people, what about her needs?!

Ah yes, the Trial of the Flash going on right now, back when it was a big deal if a superhero killed someone.

In the big 2, a hero deliberately choosing to murder someone is still a big deal, I think.

Though The Trial of the Flash is a story I tried to read as a kid as it was coming out as I'd quite liked the Flash title, but two years of this unmitigated dirge of a story was too much, so I am not minded to recall any aspect of it fondly.

I mentioned in my review of the trial Showcase volume that the creative team was obviously tired. https://www.skjam.com/2013/07/14/comic-book-review-showcase-presents-the-trial-of-the-flash/
