Case Closed!
The conclusion to the Dastardly Death of the Rogues is here! For some reason this arc felt like forever and one thing that bothered me a little was the Brightest Day logo because I didn't really feel that big of a connection to brightest day through this title except for Digger being back. Basically Flash is trying everything in his might to stop the Top. He breaks out of the future court and escapes to the past to save Iris. The whole issue mainly revolved on Flash trying to stop the Top and he does. The Rogues return to the future and Barry goes back to his normal life. The Rogues uncover an interesting fact later in the issue which I won't tell because I thought it was pretty cool and they're working with somebody looking for the flashpoint.
The Good!
This was a generally solid conclusion. The bad guy was stopped and life goes back to normal except for the new story arc thing. What I thought was cool about this issue was the way Barry escaped things and got through rough situations. His vibrating technique and his super speed always gets him out of trouble. I really enjoyed the office scene at the end because Barry is making a difference there and I think it's cool that he got what he wanted. Also Barry's past being brought up about his relationship with his mother is going to bring up some deep character development and I like that a lot. Francis Manapul's art is just so beautiful. His character drawings, backgrounds, everything he draws is amazing! It's so lively and awesome. I enjoyed the cover because it was a parallel view of the future and present with Flash stuck in the middle. That was cool.
The Bad!
To be honest I expected something more. This conclusion was good but there were no surprises or anything really shocking because we knew who the traitor and true bad guy was. This conclusion felt somewhat ordinary. I was really hoping for something big and this issue just played it safe and stuck on the same path it was destined for.
The Conclusion!
I really liked this issue but I don't like its ordinary feeling. However I say pick it up. I give it a 4 out of 5.
