I started this book six months ago. Eventually, I couldn't even look at it without shaking in revulsion, but after months of rehab, I came back to finish what I started.

My thoughts... It burns! It burns!!

If you like reading about characters stating the obvious then this is what you've been looking for.

Flash meets up with his Earth-2 counterpart while battling Capt Cold, the Trickster, Mirror Master, aliens, and more! Plus, Green Lantern guest stars, while Kid Flash learns a lesson about bigotry and later teams with Elongated Man to fight the Weather Wizard.

Great silver age stories by Broome, Infantino, Giella, and occasionally Fox. Always amazed at how the writers came up with ways for Flash to get out of various traps, and Infantino's artistic description thereof.
