Neurons in the brain fire in distinctive patterns while a rat in a maze performs particular tasks. MIT researchers now know not only that rats dream, but what they dream about.

I have no clue but Schwab certainly has, and it’s done with grace, poise, and mastery. ![]() ![]() ![]() The baffling thing, however, is the lack of self-awareness about it all.

Not that any of this recap is shocking, but the way it’s delivered feels almost impetuous. Really! The opening literally spoils how Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths concludes, so… spoilers, I suppose! I can’t in good conscience spend an entire review trashing Dark Crisis, and not subject you to the same scrutiny when you carry the same issues.įlashpoint Beyond #5 opens on a perversely funny scene, when it wastes no time in completely poo-poohing the entirety of Dark Crisis in the first three panels. You had me for a while here, but now you’re really losing me. ![]() ![]() ![]() At the smithy stands a beautiful black horse being shod by a man, John, whom Will recognizes as the son of Old George, who works on the Dawsons’ farm.
