This issue picks up for the great ending last month and well, runs with it.  Venditti and Jensen are shaping two awesome and unique stories that are full of drama and mystery.  I really can't wait to see what happens next because of the crazy foundation laid out this month.  With Brett Booth and Andre Coelho kicking ass on art, this book is one of the best combination of story and visuals on the shelf today.  I loved it.

The end result is an issue which does a little bit better than most of the issue's in this series. The overall level of expectation for the Flash is usually of an entertaining level, though not necessarily more, but with the added time paradox aspect of this issue the series takes a deeper (and darker) turn. The Flash is actually one of the series at DC Comics which benefits best from a more scientific approach, and as that is here, this issue is tapping into its own Speed Force. Read Full Review

With a cast of characters that are currently abrasive to readers, Venditti and Jensen are making it difficult for readers to want to keep reading long-term. Read Full Review

This new arc of Flash begins well, establishing new mysteries for our Barry whilst getting the Future Barry's hands dirty in the present. There's some strong hooks to continue reading about, with the Speed Force section being tantalisingly short, and Future Barry's section being all over the place, helping to cement his feeling of fish-out-of-water. It seems that the Future Flash is here to stay, at least for now, and that works just fine with me. Read Full Review

I think I'd be happy if Barry could just win a fight once in a while. He only survives this issue because of assistance - he'd never last on his own. And that's not my idea of a hero. Read Full Review

"The Flash" #36 is moving along at a reasonable clip; the Blue Flash storyline's hit its first major turning point, and so far how it's playing it is working. Venditti and Jensen's story is definitely written with the longer game in mind, though; once it's complete, it'll be easier to judge this as part of a larger whole. Until then, though, it's reasonable but not setting the world on fire. Certainly good enough to come back for another installment. Read Full Review
