Book Review: Death and the Speed Force

The Flash, Vol. 12: Death and the Speed Force by Joshua Williamson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Death and the Speed Force finds the Speed Force dying, and Black Flash escaping to eliminate the users of the other Forces. The Flash, being the hero, chooses to the protect the users of the other forces even at a cost to him and the Flash family.

This story is good. I don't think Barry's ever been more heroic during Williamson's run. The stuff with the Rogues is in the background, but this comes to the foreground with the final issue to set up the next arc. I also like that Williamson does pay off stuff that he's been doing throughout the series, going back to Flash War, and that's exciting.

Probably the thing I'm most dubious about is how this works on a macro level. , particularly his handling of these new forces, but I'll withhold judgment on those points until reading the next volume.
