krakoa's The Flash #5 - Case One: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues Part Five review

A Lantern Walks Among Us

I am so glad that The Flash seems to be picking up fans as this great series continues. What cost this issue the fifth star is that I'm ready for the plot to move on a bit. To some extent, it does here, as there's a big moment for Captain Boomerang, as well as an interesting twist for Barry.

The Good: The crazy action out the wazoo was epic and awesome. And it also wasn't just the kind of static 'everyone's-shooting-lasers action you tend to get when a lot of things are happening at once, Manapul manages to make every action panel unique and dynamic. Captain Boomerang's crazy White Lantern vision gives us an iota more info than when we saw it in Brightest Day, and his reaction to it as downright perfect and completely in character. Trying not to spoil too much but there's this aweso...
