note: Jenkins isn't credited as writer in book one because of a formal issue with Marvel, he explained it in a recent interview (or post on his blog, I don't remember)
it's difficult to make a full chronology of a 70 years old character with 3 major incarnations, maybe you should start reading the ongoing series (sequel of Flash: Rebirth) with Barry Allen and beginning to pick up some of the paperbook with the Geoff Johns run on Wally West-Flash (Flash vol.2 164-225). If you add the ongoing Justice Society of America series (44-->) you'll have a Jay Garrick-Flash heavy storyline.
Kill the Dead by Richard Kadrey, the ''Heat Wave'' book from tv series Castle and ''The Lost Books of the Odyssey'' by Zachary Mason.
Blood Meridian is the best McCarthy's book imho, a little heavy on the narrative composition but a very engaging story of brutality and ''evilness'' in a land devoid of moral.
I understand but... Vick isn't chinese or korean; more important: you don't beat cows to death before eat them, I don't think culturale differences and unnecessary violence are the same. In this case I don't really care about the dogs neither... dogs, cats, children.... I'll go to the literal extreme too: it's not important what kind of ''weaker being'' Vick abused, it's the abuse to matter. Vick is entitled to a second chance in life and career but here we're talking about to highlight him.
well... I agree about the ''served time'' argument but not about the ''mistake'' one: imho a mistake could be run over a dog with a car, involuntarily; repeated killing and general cruelty are not a mistake but a behavior. He served his time, that's ok, but I don't think he found animal jesus and repented... we're not talking about dumb Tiger Woods.
