    “the Flash is about to face the impossible choice of saving his friends’ lives or losing his powers forever!”

    Choice A: Save his friends’ lives.

    Choice B: Lose his powers forever.

      I’ve always wondered who writes these solicits. They obviously know the gist of the story, but do writers provide outlines for an editor or another person in the office who writes these, or is it the book’s writer themself? The promotional aspect of solicits always makes them seem so breathless.
