I know I keep bringing it up every month, but that's because every month this book delivers like Dominos. It's top of the pile now every time it comes out and I read it with a big, dumb, goofy handsome smile on my face. I genuinely love this book. I kinda liked the TV show, but I love this.
My brother-in-law is not a comics reader (he's been known to dabble) but he loved Smallville from the get-go, watched every episode unironically, and had a relationship with it no geeks I knew did. Not quite as enthusiastic as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z07MMlFqGvQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player">this guy</a>, but not too far off. He was kind of happy when the show was over, he felt somewhat liberated from his fandom. Two weeks ago I gave him my copies of 1-10 and he cursed me for bringing him back into the fold. He admitted they were really good and he was surprised by how much he enjoyed them.
I had originally collected the comics for him in the first place as a Christmas gift and continue to be surprised by how much I enjoy it (although I'm now just starting to expect it).
This month: Jay Garrick, more Speed Force talk and name dropping, Otis gets fired, Barbara Gordon returns, more memories from Earth 2, and a Speed force-absorbing super suit courtesy of Dr. Hamilton and STAR Labs. How can you not love this?
