After much thought, I need to put Green Lantern on hiatus. My work schedule now extends into the weekends and I'll be starting back for my last 2 classes later this month, graduating in December. 

As much as I love writing with you guys, I think I'll just be reading for the remainder of the year. I'll check back in December to see where this group is at then.

We'll keep your seat warm, mate. Hope everything goes well!

Now for discussion I'm gonna shamelessly tag [@DocTachyon]. I feel like the 'Flash always has to go against a Speedster Trope or it seems silly' is really a problem with the TV Series. Try as hard as they could with DeVoe there were still some really stupid moments where it seemed that Barry forgot about his superspeed or even his max speed. I'll also agree that whenever he crossovers it seems to vary up and down but in his own series I think they cover even the non-speedsters very well.

When you've got the likes of Multiplex, there's also another guy that can replicate himself who's name I have currently forgotten, DeVoe, Abra Kadabra, The Rogues, Shade... there's so many good villains that I feel are given justice at least in the medium of comics. In fact while I'm being a filthy hypocrite and using Reverse Flash for my first arcs main villain, that's more due to the story I have to tell with "Where's the Flash? Where is [i]he[/i]?" rather than him being my favourite Flash Villain. I actually really enjoy when you have the villains who have to outwit, out-trick or out think The Flash and I feel like they do on a regular basis.

It's not all 'Person runs out of room. Barry follows a split second later: "They're gone!"'

Flash has some of the most comic book-y villains out there and I [i]fucking love it.[/i] Seriously, Captains Cold and Boomerang? Mirror Master and the Pied Piper? Weather Wizard and a giant gorilla? It all sounds absolutely and utterly insane, yet they're honestly one of my favorite rogues galleries out there- potentially just behind Batman's.

I'd go out on a limb and say the whole 'Flash is only good when he's fighting speedsters' trope falls into a similar category into what ruins heroes like Batman and Superman. Over the years they just kept making him [i]so much faster[/i] that Wally eventually became nearly as godlike and untouchable in terms of raw power as Superman or Batman-but-he-has-prep-time. And that's juusttt...boring? 

You can only hear about how Flash outran t e l e p o r t a t i o n once before guys like Snart and Digger start to look like wastes of time. Who could possibly fight a guy that can react in an [url=https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/The+Flash+in+an+attosecond.+Flash+wins+lol_895e5d_4657828.jpg]attosecond[/url] aside from someone like the Reverse-Flash?

I'm of the opinion that a lot of what ruins characters for people is terrible, awful, no-good writers getting their dirty, grubby hands on a character. You pick up your first comic book and it's written by some hack who thinks Supes can't be written as anything more than an untouchable god, or that the only way for Batman to be cool is if he's enacting a decades long plan to stop crime across the multiverse or something. And that taints a person's view on that character forever.
