    When I first heard Van Sciver dropped off of Blackest Night, I was pissed. then I heard he was doing this book, and I was excited once more. If you love the Flash mantle, you'll love this book. If you don't know too much about the Flash, or you're not sure about him, you'll love this book. Most readers today aren't entirely too familiar with Barry Allen. Or as I call him, CSI: Barry Allen. This issue is a lot more about Barry dealing with being back and being a part from the Speed Force more than anything. It also has a lot to do with how the other Flashes accept him, or how they don't accept him in the case of newly returned Bart Allen. Sure, there are some other things going on in this book such as the return of lesser known rogue Salvitar, but the main focus is on all the Flashes. For me, the two best parts of this issue were Jay's story about how Barry made him want to be the Flash again, and Barry & Hal reuniting at the Flash Museum. Obviously, this book is extremely well written, so far it may become my favorite Johns piece and Van Sciver's art is amazing as always.


    Whether you only read DC, Marvel, or anything else. Whether you love or hate the Flash, pick this book up, it was great.

People want to throw parties and parades for him and such. Yada yada. Nothing to exciting, a bunch of talk about how great he was, etc. Hal Jordan finds Barry at the Flash Museum and they ...

      I'm a Big fan off the various Flash and i was devastated when Barry died and my friend 1 day came to me telling me he was making a comeback i was ecstatic but the wait was unnerving so for some weeks i waited and finally it was in my hands, When i closed it i flipped back to the front and re-read it , after finishing my third round i began to feel my patience thinning, waiting for the second issue.The opening scene had an ominous feel to it, the slow walking point of view, reading the thoughts o...
