Almost Infamous is an interesting book where the heroes are not that heroic, most of them anyway. I liked the book, not among the best I have read, but worth reading if you like superhero books or anti-hero books.

Is The Flash good?

The Flash is a good superhero show, and it has some cool crossovers with Arrow, even if it is not as dark and gritty as the Arrow. It`s not the best show out there, but it is still wort a try. If you however get hanged up on inconsistencies then you might get irritated with it. He's speed is not consistent, in some episodes he can dodge bullets, but in others he might have problems dodging much slower punches.

Is Alphas good?

This is an excellent series, but I am not sure if I should recommend it. There is one thing that I hate with this series, and that one thing are the reason to why I will never buy this show.
