Sharis Van Sciver, wife of Flash: Rebirth artist Ethan, has been all over their local news today after drawing a feral and badly abused Rottweiler away from a group of school children. After the dog attacked Van Sciver, the local police shot and killed it. According to a report from WCNC in North Carolina, she reacted to being bitten on the hand by expressing sorrow for the mistreated dog and saying she would bake cookies for the cop once she recovered. I didn’t think there actually were people that nice. Ethan’s Facebook status as of this writing was assuring fans and friends that Sharis would be fine: “Ethan enjoyed seeing his wife all over the local news this evening. Sharis is a hero! And her hand will be fine.”

Cool. Glad she was able to save the kids and that her hand will be all right. Too bad the dog was so mistreated it ended up that way.

It’s a shame about the dog but I can think of few comic couples who deserve attention more then the Van Scivers. I’ve met them both and Sharis is very genuine and friendly in person.. Hope her hand heals soon.

I can hear Ethan tearing up the latest “Your Time Is Now Mine” as we speak. How can you talk about old TV and feces when your wife has been attacked by a feral rottweiler?

Incredible. I love stories about real-life heroism and Sharis is absolutely a true hero. I also feel terrible about that poor, abused dog. I’m very much anti-animal abuse and cases like this are a powerful reminder why.
Thankfully, those kids are OK and thankfully, the police were there when they were. I hope the police enjoy their cookies and if Sharis is reading this: get well soon. You do good work.

Sharis really IS that nice. And if the cops get cookies, they’re lucky, ’cause she’s an awesome cook.
