Kryptopolitans and Barry picks up a gun for the war effort.

These are from The Brave and the Bold #28 in which Barry volunteers for an experiment and accidentally travels back in time to the Battle of the Bulge then joins the Blackhawks in their fight against the Germans.

Barry's leg is broken when he awakes after blacking out. Some Nazis spot him and fends them off by pelting bricks at them.

Barry is reluctant to help the Blackhawks kill even though it's WWII and he would be fighting Nazis and he doesn't seem to have a problem with only possibly killing them with bricks to the head at super speed. Since Barry vowed to never kill while wearing his Flash "uniform" he takes it off and puts on an American soldier's uniform to help the Blackhawks just until his leg heals.

The issue ends with Barry putting on the Flash suit, his leg healed, and returning to the present via the rift his experiment created, but not before Blackhawk says, "Go with God, son."

And now for something completely different.

That was posted on Jimmy Palmiotti's blog. It was drawn for fun at a con by Amanda.

	Honestly, this is the first corner of any part of the world I've encountered where some people don't love the Power Girl series. Isn't variety wonderful? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nope, the Galileo fallacy has nothing to do with this. That fallacy is about claiming that you are right because they say that you are wrong. This is about claiming that, just because most people believe something, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are right. See also: if most people jumped off a cliff, would you?

	Of course, by "sensible", you seem to mean "that agrees with me". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, by sensible I mean not based on some irrational hatred for most things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Once again, you are dismissing any opinion that disagrees with yours as "irrational" (despite the fact that people who hate the PG series have clearly explained their reasons for doing so), and assuming that anybody who hates something you like must hate "most things" (despite the fact that we only mentioned the PG series and nothing else). How sensible of you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I'm not dismissing any opinion that disagrees with mine. If I were I would have agreed with your assessment on my definition of sensible. (Reply to this) (Parent)
