Imma say it's not any better, and about the same:) But I hear you. These kids and the way they talk today kind of vibe. Written by someone who was not... it strikes me as like what my dad would think about slang or something. If he was writing comics in 1969.
Kid Flash, IMO, comes off really well here. It's partly the art and partly the Oh Bro-THER! AND he looks significantly older than teen, but I really like him here.
