This was a fun one!Its so epic this whole story as we follow two timelines like Barry 20 years in the future who thinks he has failed things and goes back in time to fix things and along the way fights Mirror master and spends the last moments with Cold together which was such an awesome scene and then fighting off Trickster and in a way he is trying to set things right and I love the way its interlaced with the main timeline Barry.And then in the present, Barry is trying to find the killer of a...

I can't go higher than 3 stars, because the storyline "The Speed Force is broken!" And "Speed Force user from the future comes back to the Present with news about the end of the world!" Is more recycled than my grocery bags.There's some good artwork and I like the Future Flash Blue Suit. Oh and Wally West! Daniel West! Iris West! Let's do everything to push Patty out of the picture! She keeps mentioning he needs to pay her attention, instead of just mentor Wally since Iris asked, and she's hubba...

Well that was a disappointing reread. Robert Venditti tries to do something new, but he fails miserably. Post-Forever Evil, Barry Allen is hurt, much like Central City. He has the Messiah complex of needing to fix everything and save everyone, and he's breaking and destroying himself in the process. While I appreciate Venditti taking a darker emotional tone, it can feel shallow and pandering, like he's forcing a grim-dark perspective on an upbeat character. And Barry isn't pure sunshine, believe...

Well, they have a new team of writes and this is a whole different kind of story from what they were telling. I guess I'm cranky, but I wish they connected more dots so you could understand more of what's going on in this story. oh well. It sure is high energy.So, there is Flash and there is 20 years from now Future flash who is going back through time fixing the past mistakes in order to heal the Speed force which is broken. I'm not buying into how this thing got broken. It's all silly. If some...

Another new writer and illustrator bring Flash into a new story arc, one that sees him traveling the speed force. A lot of things are happening plotwise which gets a bit confusing especially when we add in time travel. The book starts five years in the future, zips back to the present and continues in that manner, at one point reaching as far as twenty years in the future. Some old characters briefly return (Gorilla Grodd) and some characters we haven't seen in this series make an entry (Wally W...

I wanted to like this more, but I didn't. It was okay, but it was just another Flash story to me.. The artwork was good. If You're a fan of The flash Villians, a few of them appear here. As I said before it read just like a typical Flash story, Time Travel? check.Berry Allen running around trying to save the day?check. Etc... etc.. I like the Flash. I admit I'm not the biggest Flash fan though. Overall, an okay book. Obviously if You're a Flash fan You should check this out.I recieved an advance...

Fast-paced & action-packed! Unfortunately, I have no idea what just happened... Warning: Here Be Spoilers!Ok, I'm going to try not to spoil everything in the story for you, but I'm not making any guarantees. Add in the fact that I'm actually not quite sure what happened in this volume, and I think you're probably safe. Time-travel stories like this are where Flash loses a lot of mainstream fans. I personally think, when used sparingly, time-travel can be a great plot device for characters lik

Once we get into Volume #'s: 4,5 and 6 of many of the new 52 books, even the ones that started off strong, there is a definite lack in quality. In some cases, the original creator, who attracted people to the book, is gone, replaced by a creator who does a somewhat decent job. Less than a handful of new 52 books have maintained a solid presence since the line began. Batman, by Scott Snyder, might be the only example. We see this drop in quality with the flash by Robert Venditti. I think Venditti...

I am new to the world of comics, so what I thought of this vol. and what you might think of this vol. will probably be different I was reading an e-copy of this and I couldn’t help, but notice how great the colors looked. I don’t know how that will translate to the paper, but I hope that it will look the same. It might seem a little silly to you, but the books I read have only words and it was nice to read something in color.I started the comics because of the show, but I am staying in the story...

The Speed Force has broken. Future Flash is lamenting the death of Wally West while Even More Future Flash decides to go back in time, fixing all the problems he couldn’t before (mostly KILLING his rogues!), returning to the present – whenever that is! – and killing himself(!), thus fixing the Speed Force. Present Flash has to solve a murder mystery involving his rogues’ weaponry that has nothing to do with anything and has FILLER written all over it. Also, Barry and Wally go to a ball game.I’ve...

Future Flash is scary as hell but yay, the artwork's all good again.

And thus begins writer Robert Venditti's take on The Flash and it is nothing to get too excited about as he introduces a multi-narrative event featuring a brand-new Flash who is none other than Future Flash... And if the dull crime investigation filling in until this grand encounter doesn't kill you, allow this Future Flash to knock you out unconscious with his uncharacteristic self...Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote.com/

WHAT THE ACTUAL F***???!!!So does anyone remember that time everyone else got real copies of Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman Vol. 1 and all I got was this:ALL PICTURES, NO WORDS. I was pissed off, to say the least. Then today I go into my Adobe program to read this Flash comic. Six days left and it's been archived, so I figured, "Anna, time to get off your ass and read something you'll hopefully like anyways." WRONG. NOW THEY ARE JUST F***ING WITH ME. DC HAS GOT TO BE F***ING WITH ME!!!

Not sure how I feel about this darker version of Barry Allen -- you DO know that he is the Flash, right? Because he is getting really casual about showing up at super speed as Barry Allen, and skipping the whole Secret Identity thing.Here, Barry and Flash solve a series of crimes committed with stolen tech, and then go toe-to-toe with fallout from the...future?

All I can really say about this book is "Meh". It's OK in that new 52 way, but it doesn't have that spark of other great Flash runs I've been spoiled by. Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul have just left too big of shoes to fill. I'm also not a fan of Brett Booth's art. Everyone has toothpick necks and every costume is highlighted in neon. All of his costume designs look like they stepped out of Tron.

Entertaining not great volume.

Another Dull New52 flash book. I know people are hard on Joshua for his rebirth run but his entire run is much better than almost anything from the New 52 when it comes to flash. This is just Flash, once again, trying to "fix" his past mistakes. INstead of getting new inseight into Barry and relating to him we are thrown into Future Flash going back to verious moments in his life and "fixing" them as he sees fit. In doing so it alters the future but eventually the future Barry goes back far enou...

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.Like I’ve said before, I love the Flash. The only superheroes who might be cooler than him are Green Arrow (the tv version) and Superman. I like Arrow because I’ve been a fan of the tv show for three years now. Superman has to be up there, because he is the coolest and best hero in the DC Universe. But right behind those guys is the Flash. Sure, I prefer the tv Barry Allen, but the comic is cool too. And so, whenever I read a new Flash comic, I think a lot abou...

I received this from the publisher and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Now this was AMAZING!While The Flash has always been one of my favorite superheroes, I haven’t read any of The Flash volumes since Volume 1: Fast Forward, and I wasn’t up to speed on the run up to this latest volume. That did not impact my understanding of the story in the least: the story was written so well that I was able to keep up with the background information provided through normal dialogue. Not an easy t...
