Yeah...who the crap is Captain Boomerang?

P.C., Captain Boomerang is a member of Flash's rogues gallery, albeit an aging one, so he's a villain. He's sort of a boomerang version of Green Arrow or Merlyn. He's also been featured throughout IC, so I find your surprise at seeing him, well, surprising.

The fact that his son has speed powers is a complete asspull.

P.C.

Huh. That's a new one.

I'm not surprised at seeing him. I just wasn't sure whether he was a hero or villain, and I was going to be more confused if he was supposed to be a hero. The whole "Captain" thing threw me off. And the touching father/son bonding moments. Et cetera.

Isn't Jesse Quick too young to be the mother of Boomerang's son? I can't think of any other female 20th century speedsters .

Unless Professor Zoom was more of a Reverse Flash than we'd previously been led to believe ...

I think the kid is a clone from the DNA of the Flash and his archnemesis, Capt. Boomerang. He and Superboy will form a support group.

Also, more seriously, Capt. Boomerang has always been a villain, but he was VERY prominent in Suicide Squad.

So, why is this murder so sloppy? I doubt Captain Boomerang is the Big Bad. He just walked in and would have left his trademark behind, totally fingering him for the crime. I wonder who's pulling the strings.

I'd say Calculator looks like the culprit, but it's hard to say. There's a lot that doesn't add up quite right.

In regards to IC, yeah, I'm thinking Captain Boomerang is not the culprit. I mean, he seemed pretty surprised when Tim's dad shot him.

Also, I don't have any familiarity with the character, but does he have a history engaging in "honorable duels" or wanting the other guy to have a "fighting chance"? If not, I'm thinking the real murderer is the guy who sent Tim's dad the gun.

Nah, CB's pretty much a scoundrel. He's never arm an opponent.

In that case, whoever the murderer is, they wanted to kill Captain Boomerang as well as those close to superheroes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't both of the two suspects so far, Dr. Light and Slipknot, members of the Suicide Squad? If so, the killer seems to be trying to frame former members for the murders for some reason and now apparently stepped it up a notch, possibly because the heroes ended up not going medival on those he'd framed. So instead he creates a situation where both Captain Boomerang and Tim's dad are likely to be killed.

Re: IC it felt like CB was set up to think what he was doing was on the side of not bad, but I'll have to re-read. Ack! TIM! Excuse me. Ahem. I also want to re-read the last issue of Flash.

Meanwhile, Teen Titans: Holy dystopia, Batman! I enjoyed this much more than I did the last two parts of the storyline, which were sort of meh to me. Johns continues to write a good Tim, which makes me wish he was the writer on the Robin title instead of That Arrogant Assburger.

I'm so very not caught up on things right now. I hadn't been to the comic book store in nearly a month, so my box was rather full. Added Manhunter to my pulls, but forgot to add JSA. Again. I've been meaning to add JSA for weeks now.
