Book 7 of the fiftyfiftyme Challenge: Flash: Road to Flashpoint
This book was a little disappointing. Nothing really seems to tie it to Flashpoint. I really enjoyed the first arc of this Flash series, but the second half was kind of boring. Well other than the Reverse Flash one-shot where he goes through and changes moments in his life. That was awesome.

Book 6 of the fiftyfiftyme Challenge: V for Vendetta
I’ve picked up and put down this book a few times over the last 9 Months. I finally set out to finish it. Even at 250+ pages you would think it was twice as long. I know Alan Moore threw one of his standard Hissy Fits when this was made into a movie, but I would argue the movie boils down the book to its essentials. There’s still a bunch of this story I wasn’t sure why it existed.
Now while I think it was longer than it needed to be, I do think in general it was a good story. I also enjoyed the art quite a bit as well. Even if you have seen the movie, I would still recommend reading V for Vendetta. While I found some other parts of the story boring, there were others that were rather interesting.
While I wouldn’t say that V for Vendetta is in my top 10 must reads of all time. I would recommend it to my friends who are looking for something more out of their comics.

Book 2 fiftyfiftyme Challenge - Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn
Some would be surprised to know that I have not read this before. I’ve looked through it at a friends house once, but haven’t had the chance to read it till now. I’m a big fan of Hal Jordan and this book does a great job showing reasons why he’s a great character. I especially loved that they did a good job of showing how the Guardians started to kind of fear Jordan early on.
