Lia is a Canadian fan of the Flashes and the Rogues. She’s particularly interested in memorabilia of the Rogues and Reverse Flashes, collecting art, and memorizing a whole lot of pointless trivia. She may be the world’s only diehard fan of the Top due to a love of hopeless causes, and she runs a fan blog on Tumblr, known as gorogues or The Rogues Kick Ass.

Editor & Author: Kelson Vibber
Kelson is a web developer living in Southern California with his wife and son. He has been reading comics since the age of eight, starting at DC and gradually moving out toward indies. He first started reading The Flash with the launch of Wally West’s series in 1987, and has since tracked down all of Barry Allen’s run and a significant part of Jay Garrick’s.
Kelson launched Speed Force in June 2008 as a companion to his Flash fan reference site, Flash: Those Who Ride the Lightning.
