I'd probably enjoy the early stories and the Geoff Johns stories though. Did you know it was originally based on Aladdin? A magic lantern that grants wishes?

Very straight-laced and self--important. It wasn't until the destruction of his home city and the Parallax storyline that he showed any depth. When they brought him back recently they seemed to go back to the old version (Barry Allen isn't much better) and he feels very anachronistic in the modern superhero pantheon. Like having John Wayne in a modern action movie. Although the Duke in The Matrix would have been interesting.<br /><br />mood<br /><a href="http://moodywriting.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Moody Writing</a> <br />mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.com
