I haven’t read FLASH for a while, so I’m backtracking a bit to the start of the “Force Quest” storyline. Barry and Iris are in the obviously-named Middle-eastern country of Badhnisia looking for information about the Strength Force, one of several new forces recently uncovered besides the Speed Force that give Flash his powers. After an entertaining pursuit by Barry of a purse-snatcher, they arrive at an old church, now apartments, to find the place they are looking for ransacked by costumed criminals, Gemini. The final scene, and only the final scene of the issue is in Gorilla City, more of a teaser than anything, despite the cover image.

This was a good read, I like the writing and art. Flash’s world was too complicated already even before new “forces” were introduced, but I’ll see how things go in this story.

Recommended.
