    The End (?)

    The last issue with this creative team. It's a shame really, I really enjoy this comic. Not saying I'm dropping it, or this next team will be bad, but change is change.

    This is a wrap up conclusion to the storyline started way back in issue #1. Sure Crime Master and Jack haven't been the only focus, but they have been in the shadows the whole time. Pulling the strings.

    We get to see more of Flash's abusive family life, told in small flash backs as he hunts down Jack. How Jack is able to survive everything, I have no idea. But he looks like the Crypt Keeper when his pumpkin mask is off.

    Jack really does something twisted to get I to Flash's psyche. Jack and the Scarecrow from the recent Batman: The Dark Knight series would make great pals.

    The final battle is short and sweet, and I believe we will see Jack again eventually.

    This issue was an epilogue. It felt like the final issue of a series. In some ways it is. This has been a great series, and hopefully it continues to be.

    If you haven't read the series, I highly recommend the trades and jump in the next issue. Give it a shot.

After all, that is what we have been waiting for - it is what we have been expecting from the teased "I'm gonna do more than kill Jack-O-Lantern" issue.Sadly, it does not del...

      I have to say that this run by Remender was, in my opinion, a huge success. Turning a fan favorite villain into a mercenary style hero was no easy task. Throughout the series he's been developing and presenting the flaws in Flash's life and how he overcomes these hardships. I'm disappointed that he's off this title now but my solace is that he is still and Secret Avengers, which has been awesome (for those who still want to follow venom he's on this team, for now anyway) I'm glad that I got to e...
