picked up the pace finally and im actually in love with this storyline

Another volume, comics re-read, flashed through this one too. Same issues as the first, but Flash finds some footing finally. Without spoilers since this isn’t out yet, the writing gets better but the pacing and story doesn’t really advance besides the outside lore. It’s not bad, it’s average when you look at Abs MM, WW and Batman (Superman, I’m coming back to you). Read it and if it’s not your cup of tea, drop.

I really love this comic but the pace is kinda tedious for waiting a month between issues. I'd enjoy it more if I read it in volume form. However the wait maybe makes the reward better, I think it's finally picking up and I'm excited for more. I'm definetly hooked.

A good second volume wrapping up some aspects of the main plot. I just think this story needs something fresh and what’s to come will offer that. Still a great read on its own and is a good flash story.

I like how this went down, especially the treatment of the Rogues. I'm curious where we go next. These first 12 issues were more or less one big story. I do think Robles relies on too many effects in panels at times and it makes it difficult to tell what is happening, especially towards the end.

entretiene pero algo caótica, creo que puso muchos personajes para el arranque

[Robert · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story got to big to quickly, pulling in every iteration of Flash in under six issues and dispatching most of them. Hopefully with the distractions gone, a good solo Flash story can be told.
