Run to March
Well, we’re now a month away from the season seven premiere of The Flash on the CW. Thanks to Our Current Moment, we’re actually getting the last few episodes of season six first. And that’s pretty much the ground that … Continue reading
The Coming Crisis
Many years ago, the DC Comics universe consisted of a multitude of universes, all separated by vibrational frequency, that housed multiple versions of beloved characters. Then, in an attempt to streamline things, DC Comics experienced its Crisis on Infinite Earths, … Continue reading

Speed in XS
The fifth season of The Flash has gotten underway. And while it picks up immediately after the season four finale, I’m hopeful that that show can move forward with a solid cast and a storyline that transcends the weaknesses of … Continue reading
