Although not as strong this issue still delivers a hell of a blow
Flash Point is my favorite DC Comics event/crossover because it deals with a highly confusing concept that can be easily done horribly wrong. The whole fact that Flash isn't in a parallel was a little bit hard to believe at first but now you can't help but feel that you are surrounded in a world that's so real your captivated.
THE GOOD- the fact that Geoff johns is such a great story teller really helps in a issue like this. The characters all have clear independent motives and the flash (you can see) has really no idea what he is doing. Because so far every thing he has exucuted has gone pretty bad. Yet again though you can't help but root for him. But in this issue your more focus on the fact of how they will react to Superman's appearance.
THE BAD- it almost feels sadden that in every flash point issue (Thomas Wayne) Batman always upstages Flash even with his presence its crazy. I find my self concern more with how Thomas Wayne will react and analyze the situation than Flash.
