      I liked this book, but I think the quote applies on a metacontextual level as well. See, I'm rather annoyed with Rick Remender chickening out in the end. Addiction and abuse are not light subjects. Not even a little bit. I know I don't have to tell you that. Flash and his father have a contentious and difficult relationship with each other thanks to his father's alcoholism, which you'd expect, but I don't love how quick Flash is to forgive his father just because he's on his deathbed. It feels t...
