Manapul's art is lively, making for a comfortable but unchallenging tale. In keeping with the retreat into Silver Age nostalgia that saw Barry Allen's successors pushed aside to reintroduce one of the few fallen heroes whose death seemed both permanent and meaningful, this story resembles a '60s-era tale expanded six-fold. And to an extent, I appreciate Flash: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues, a story about a man who can accomplish things very fast, the most because of how it wastes time - with scene setting, with conversation, with silly bits of humor. Futuristic policemen enforcing draconian, inflexible laws, the Renegades' target is the man who the Renegades' records show will commit murder, a killer better known as the Flash. A bad situation takes a turn for the worse when the Renegades, the 25th-century descendants of the Rogues, arrive. The Flash races out of BLACKEST NIGHT and into the first graphic novel collection of his new monthly title written bycomics hottest writer Geoff Johns. Flash finds a city overrun with costumed villains, in particular the Rogues, both the villains Barry knew and new criminals stepping into established personae. Allen finds a city transformed the population has tripled, the crime rate has quadrupled, and the forensics department is overworked and staffed with burnouts. Barry Allen, the super-fast superhero the Flash, is back from the dead and rebuilding his life in Central City. FLASH FACT: In THE FLASH: THE DASTARDLY DEATH OF THE ROGUES, New York Times best-selling writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has teamed up acclaimed artist Francis Manapul to capture the essence of the Flash, just as he’s done in his epic six-year run on Green Lantern.

Upon its publication in 1995, Zombie was proclaimed the author’s “boldest, most disturbing masterwork… demonstrating why Oates ranks among America’s most respected and accomplished literary artists.” Bestselling author and psychiatrist Peter D. Devastating in its impact, Zombie provides a psychologically astute portrait of the cold calculation and dark obsession that can make a serial killer horrifyingly successful and maddeningly elusive. With each page of his diary, Quentin details his obsession with creating a “zombie”-a lobotomized young man to serve as a sex slave-while interspersing recollections of his past nefarious deeds. Zombie views the world through the eyes of Quentin P., newly paroled sex offender, as he chillingly evolves from rapist to mass murderer. Written in the form of journal entries-collections of thoughts broken up by screaming capital letters and crude marker drawings-Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates is a brilliant, unflinching journey into the psychotic consciousness of a serial killer. The men that come into her life are certainly intriguing, sexy and all the different personalities make for some interesting interactions!

Syn is a fantastic FMC, she is fierce, has strong morals and has left her old life behind, unfortunately she can't escape the physical traits that show just what she is, so she has recreated herself to survive. They’ve come to request the Enchanter’s help with an important case. This story definitely has a strong emphasis on preconceived ideas about certain races and I liked how some of the characters, including the FMC, don't fit neatly into what they SHOULD be. If I had to put a genre label on it, I'd probably go for Urban Fantasy Reverse Harem, but I also feel like it is so much more than that. The world building is seriously amazing, all the little details help you immerse yourself in this story.

The rotating point of views of both personalities, one from the moment of the race difficulty in 1921, and also the various other from existing day Tulsa, weave with each other seemlessly. As an outcome of this, I am so thankful that the author targeted youths by including teenager lead characters that tell the tale.
