This is going to be something really special. If you are a big Flash fan then this is a must buy. This is being billed as the most significant Flash story since Flashpoint.
Hmm? I'll have to check it out.
No idea.
I disagree. I think this whole run of Flash has been outstanding. The best it's been since Manapul left in the New 52. Every arc has been something special. The Reverse Flash arc was amazing. It's not treading anything. There was a little dip during the negative speed force arc but it was still pretty great. But this story might be huge. This is just set up though. The actual story doesn't start till May or June.
Thawne showing up was a little jarring considering he died in the button 2 issues earlier completely undoing the impact then only to die in this run, I know speed force/time travel shenanigans are at play but let's at least have some time between death and eventual reserection. The rogues were/are always over too quickly and the most criminal part of this Barry is an absolute mope, always moaning about his mam and dad, and meena/iris/work the flash is one of the happier characters in dcu whether its wally/bart/the other wally/Barry
Also, the person at the end wasn't Thawne. This is Hunter Zolomon, known as Zoom, also known as the second Reverse-Flash . We haven't seen him in a story since before Flashpoint.
Anything I should read before this issue?
The more you know about the original Wally West the better.
Totally agree. This was the best from the big 2 for me this week. I was starting to lose interest in this run with the negative flash arc, but it has been getting better since and this issue made me really excited for Flash war.
Very enjoyable read, definitely looking forward to flash war. I wonder if they'll take this opportunity to bring back Jay and Eobard? Jay hasn't been even mentioned since "the button" so this might be the best time to bring him back and I think it would be pretty cool to see Hunter and Eobard work together.
