flash 2023 issue 5 thoughts

i like it. there's so much happening plot wise there should really be an action comics but for the flash family. but dc hates us and they hate good ideas.

jai is such an underdeveloped character and it was nice having a whole issue through his POV. i relate to the whole moody preteen no one likes me thing. being 13 SUCKS!! and the moment where he asked grodd what his problem was instead of fighting him was Excellent.

by now it's pretty clear that linda has postpartum :(. i feel so bad for her but it makes me wonder where her support system is.

in my experience (black american) it's not uncommon for relatives move in after the mom gives birth (usually a grandmother) or at the very least their friends are stopping by to cook or clean or something.

last time I checked linda was on good terms with her family. and it would make sense for her to have friends outside of the flashes. so where are these people?? this is the shit I think about. where are the women??

every time iris and barry pop up i get so excited lmfao. i hope wally didn't just scramble barry's brains since he destroyed the thing that was floating above his statue 😭 and how will that affect them finding max?? maybe jai will timewarp to him

this issue is so funny. i love all the scientists living together and sleeping together?? perhaps?

i hate the fact that the dc universe is also having a book banning problem but I digress

wally had a well deserved meltdown love that for him. it was nice to see the mask fall. i hope it stays down. and i love those weird time gods. 5 stars xoxo
