Nice costume
As a Wally West fan since the 1980s I've stuck with the Flash through difficult times (rebirth, blackest night and every single one of those flashpoint crossovers) and don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed some of them (Blackest Night was excellent), but I've been secretly hoping/waiting for Wally West to come back, even if it was just hanging around in the background while Allen took centre stage.
But now here we are, Flash 1, the new 52. The slate is clean, Wally doesn't exist (someone at DC must really hate him) and we're back with Barry. And despite my better judgement I'm still here, giving it a chance, because I'm nice like that. But it's by a thread.
For a first issue, the writing is ok (story a little underwhelming) but the artwork is excellent (the costume tweaks are superb) - but I'm still having trouble adjusting to Barry. Is it me or is he just a little bit dull? Maybe he'll grow on me (although he's been back a few years and hasn't managed it yet).
I've got nothing else to add, except to beg DC to bring back Wally West in some form or another. He was The Flash for over 20 years so someone other than me must have liked the character. He was alright you know. Don't just write him out of history.
