So I'm versus the Flash number 341 or all the fun in action of the Flash in a courtroom behind a table.

Welcome back for the Flash number 341, the January 1985 issue feature cover pencil by Carmine Infantino,

inked by Klaus Jansen with the issue being edited by Carrie Bates.

Our story is trial and tribulation written by K Carrie Bates, pencil by Carmen and Fantino, inked by Frank McLaughlin, lettered by Ben Oda, colored by Carl Gafford. Last issue ended with the flash showing up, barely in time for his trial, coily peeking his head around the corner and asking if it was his trial. Judge tells him to sit down, here we go. We're beginning. D.A. Slater has a huge announcement to make at the beginning of the trial. Ask the judge for permission to mention it. She gives him permission to proceed. He comes out and says the manslaughter charge has been dropped. We see the flashes face light up as he looks to Cecil Horton looking for any direction from her.

She's telling him not to get too excited because next moments later announces that's right.

The Mancala charge has been dropped, but a new charge is being brought up.

Second degree murder.

He is going to prove that the Flash intended to kill the reverse Flash on that day.

Flash's face falls.

Cecil Horton tries to explain that she would have told him about it if he was around.

He tries to explain the fact that he was kidnapped by Bixer, blah, blah, blah. She doesn't want to hear any of it.

It should have been getting prepared. Now, I asked her a question, this can't really happen in real life, right?

You can't get charged with something. And then the day of the trial, they just announced that they're changing it.

I don't think it works that way. I think that you have to mention what your charge is to the grand

jury. And the grand jury has to look at the evidence to see if there's a reason to think that

that crime might have been committed. Now, maybe manslaughter and second-dry-murder murder are similar enough to each other that the same sort of preponderance of evidence would lead you to have a trial for both, but I still don't think that would actually happen in real life. But this isn't real life. This is comic books, and the DC universe, you can do whatever you want in a courtroom as long as it adds to

the drama. And this certainly has because the media goes crazy. Some of them feel bad for

the flesh. Some of them want to file their story. Everyone's murmuring, throwing things. I think I

see how to let us go up against the wall, tornadoes thrown, bottle rockets are going off. Judge

Fisher at a man's order trying to reel everyone in while she's trying to reel everyone in inside the courthouse. Central City is going crazy.

Sides of buildings covered with mirrors, expensive mirrors that require permits and months of installation, all to direct beams of light towards banks to melt their walls so the mirror master can steal money out of it.

In fact, we catch the mirror master in the middle of one of these robberies after we see light bouncing all around the city. The cops are also there as well. But they're trying to shoot Miramaster, but he has an ammo absorbent mirror, which is sucking up all the bullets, so he can make his getaway. We see the media covering this as well. The rogues are going crazy. It's a crime spree that hasn't been seen in years. The Flash has been so preoccupied the last couple days. He hasn't been able to fight crime. It's not just the Miramaster. It's Captain Boomering. It's a trickster. It's Weather Wizard. It's Captain Cold. All of them. Just going crazy. Robin Banks everywhere. We see people on the street. Poor people that can't afford TVs, watching this media coverage through the windows of a shop. We see someone watching over their shoulders and getting a little excited when they cut away from all these stories about the rogues to announce a bulletin about the Flash. The trickster comes down out of the sky landing, hoping to hear the news that the Flash is dead. He doesn't know what's going on, such as coverage of the fact,
