So I was looking through issue 1 again and noticed a few interesting details that I had missed before. But I cant tell if it's deliberate or not..

Clocks and watches come up here and there at key points. For instance, the opening scene has a clock in the room which increases in prominence before the cops bust in. The black officer wears a watch. Then again an police officer wears a watch in the foreground during the flashback of Barry's mother's death. Coicidence? I dunno.

The dude who recreates the lightning and chemicals accident has white hair and carries a staff/sword like Cicada had (if I recall correctly) ->

Well I guess it's his beard that's white and he's bald...

Also, page 18 panel 1. We're in the museum under "Brave and the Bold" and Barry's feet are beginning to crackle with the speed force. If you look to the left where a family is standing around, the blonde woman seems to be glowing with energy. I don't think it's a coloring error because all the other people look regular.

I wanna do this same beachcomb for issue #2 but I don't got time right now (analogy intended).

So did you guys notice any interesting details? I have my own theories about what's going on... What do you think?

Well, I've been doing some thinking on this. Lots of it. And I wrote a review on the site. proper. It's an unusual review.
