All-Flash Quarterly, Part II: THE BLOOD RED RAY!

How’s that for an awesome title?

I mean, it’s a biplane with a flamethrower, but that’s still an awesome title.

Now, who’s that gal the Flash is rescuing?

Why it’s Ann! With an ominous comment about “Well, things!”. How about things like the fact her brother is an escaped fugitive? Gosh, she doesn’t seem so concerned. So the biplane turns out to be under the control of The Threat, aka Joe Conner, who is not exactly thrilled to see The Flash. Meanwhile, back at the farm…

“But I can’t just stop a vengeance in the middle!” may be one of my favorite lines ever. Also, note how he had not problems stopping it for four years, or that she seems to have no problem harboring a known fugitive. The bottom of the same page gives us my favorite, condescending sexism!

Man, wimmins just don’t get it! They’re so useless!

So Roy pilots the flamethrowing bi-plane and almost kills his birth-mother. She’s rescued by The Flash who drops him for the cops. Except:


Some brother, he didn’t even recognize Ann’s voice! Still, how did Ann even know?

Yes that’s right, Joan, having followed the Flash thinking he was cheating on her, advises Ann to join the family business! Boy must the Flash be pissed off…

Well, I guess that makes it okay. Meanwhile, unknown to Jay, he’s actually already captured The Threat, as he thought Joe was one of The Threat’s lackeys and got him thrown in jail. Which sets up chapter three… That’s right folks, we [b]still[/b] haven’t reached the payoff! See you all tomorrow!

    Just how long as that guy been mayor? He must have won another election if he's still Mayor 4 years later…

    So wait, this guy builds a vast criminal empire just to get back at the guy who threw him in jail when he was a young punk? Man, revenge is a dish best served cold but you don't have to start a restaurant chain for it.

    Looking forward to tomorrow!

    Yeah, vengeance interruptus is the worst.

    Oh, and that's not a biplane.

    “The Threat” is the worst supervillain name ever.

    And I've been reading this site too long, because as soon as Ann said “We really got to know each other well,” my brain went to some bad places.

    Exactly how did Joan trail the Flash? I doubt he's been running around on her but he's still running around at a fair clip.

    He told her where he was going, but not why. Ergo. CHEATING!

    I realize now that thing on Ann's head is mourning veil, but at first glance I thought it was a lamp shade- 'Uh oh, a comical drunk, and she's got a gun. We better do what she says.'

    Holy smokes. This is more convoluted than a Dean Koontz plot. What bizarre turns is this going to take next?
