RATING - 5/10
Many times now I have tried getting into a Flash series and each time I am questioning if I made the right choice. I am not the brightest spark in the room but 15 issues in and I do not know what the direction of this book is. The rogues come and go and Flash is still in wilderness. The huge lead to Flashpoint and bang straight after that has left us with a character in which it seems the writers want to slow down, by...wait for it...going in all different directions. Trust me it makes sense.
One minute he is fighting the rouges, the next Grodd. One minute is past is there, the next we have an alternate timeline...what is going on? I digress as I should be focussing on this issue. Not much happens and the only reason I give it a 5 and not a 3 is due to the final 7 pages which offer spread after spread of Flash and different timelines & battles. Good artwork and layout here by Brian Buccellato to show us everything and nothing at the same time.
Question do I continue purchasing this comic??? Funds say no, the geek in me says give it till issue 20 to decide.
