Is The Flash Calling Me A Wanker?

Look, superhero comic books have never had the most enlightened attitude to the art of masturbation.

And years before Sam Raimi and Brian Michael Bendis would bring us Spider-Man excess web fluid in his bedroom at home, Dave Sim was doing a Don Simpson impersonation for Cerebus…

But IGN has just printed the cover art from Blackest Night #7, a spoiler for the end of issue 6 so kept in secret until now. But is that the only reason? I ask because the Blue Lantern Flash seems to be making an internationally-understood signal in my direction, leaving me in no doubt about what he thinks of my status in light…

Yeah? Yeah? Well come here, Flash, I think you're a douche-bag!

There we go, status quo restored.
