Where imagination runs wild
The great rebirth-era Flash reread starts here! And it starts off pretty well in spite of treading ground that is a little too familiar, with the trope of the (not-do) secret identity speedster villain front and center. While the New

Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale‘s “Superman For All Seasons” is best described, I believe, as a simple masterpiece. It doesn’t try to be a grand story with sprawling action scenes or a mind-boggling thriller or a deconstruction of the Man
