It's the final moments of the One-Minute War! Cornered by the evil Admiral Vel, the Flash family is on the edge of defeat, but some surprising allies give the speedsters one last chance to change the outcome of the war once and for all!
Adams' Flash run gets its big signature story arc and it ends on a very emotional note with a pair of characters getting an overdue quality moment together. This could have been the farewell issue of Adams' run, but it's satisfying to know he's not done yet making these memorable Flash moments. Read Full Review
The Flash #796 ends the One-Minute War with a fantastic finale. The new concept is clunky and odd within the context of everything else included in the book, but the last battle itself and the action of the issue as a whole are magnificent. And by the end of the story, the classic energy and hopeful feeling of classic Flash books have returned. Read Full Review
I think at some points this story struggled with just how much it had to juggle, but it had all the strengths of Adams' run and has left the entire franchise in a stronger place. Read Full Review
Overall, the One-Minute War wasnt awful. However, it still wasnt my favorite issue or arc of Adams Flash run today. Sadly, Adams time is coming closer and closer to an end. I would love to see him hang in there for a bit longer. Nevertheless, we still get to read Adams on other titles. And as we all know, all good things must come to an end. Read Full Review
Wally West gets to showcase his heart, his smarts and what a lifetime of super-speed will teach you, closing up the One-Minute War with style.Worth it for the epilogue with Max Mercury and Impulse alone. Read Full Review
Through a huge amount of exposition, Adams and co. are able to keep The Flash running on track through an epic conclusion to the "One Minute War arc. Read Full Review
The Flash #796 concludes The One-Minute-War in a mostly satisfying way, although the several pencilers, inkers, and colorists makes for an uneven read. Some of the plotlines end in a contrived manner, but overall everything concludes in a neat fashion. Read Full Review
The Flash #796 is an almost strong finish to an event that started weakly and got better as it progressed. The tone, dialog, and action hit all the right notes for what Flash Family fans could want, but the cobbled-together art from too many artists with too-different styles is off-putting.

Though a bit of compression is visible in the three separate art teams scattered over the pages of this arc finale & in the breakneck pacing, One Minute War ends as a well above average. It's a thoroughly enjoyable arc of Jeremy Adams' brilliant Flash run. Read Full Review
One way or another, it all gets resolved. The sinister-looking villain does what sinister-looking villains do. The cool-looking hero does what the cool-looking hero does. Theres a combat. Theres a resolution. Things have shifted a bit by the end of the issue, but that much is to be expected when things move as quickly as they do in a story like the One-Minute War. Read Full Review
"The One-Minute War" isn't a perfect story, but it's an incredibly good one all the same. Read Full Review
Phenomenal. It’s gold irony that this comes out the same week as ASM. Marvel: Let’s take one of our most hated stories of all time, OMD, and try to make it even worse/more polarizing. DC: Let’s take one of our most hated stories of all time, Heroes in Crisis, and apologize for it and try to make good.
I hope Tom King punched himself in his nuts and micro-penis as he read this issue.
If I have one complaint, it’s this: best Roger Cruz looks like Joe MAD. Rushed Roger Cruz looks like Scott McDaniel. No offense, Scott McDaniel.
Too many artists, one great writer. This is one of DC's best books and they decide to take Jeremy Adams off writing duties!!?? Si Spurrier is fine but put him on a book that NEEDS a new writer. Anyway, this was great. Really gets you in the feels when Barry sees Iris again and the Flash family feels special, not just some super team thrown together. They're family and it shows. Wish DC treated Jeremy Adams a little more like a member of their creative family.
Moments felt rushed and the art made those moments even more chaotic. Overall the story was well told and fun. The ending was cool and sweet.
Would have loved if all of it was drawn by Fernando Pasarin!
A solid ending, if a bit chaotic.

While this storyline hasn't been my absolute favorite, it was still pretty solid. This fact remains for the finale that is this issue. It gets an extra 0.5 from for the ending, which I particlarly enjoyed.
This event was decent but could have been better. Everything was all over the place. The main characters, the undercooked villains and the art. The art was underwhelming, especially considering that it's the last big thing in Adams' run before #800. Pasarin was the saving grace as usual for this Flash ongoing.
The family moments are the strongest points of this whole run and the aftermath felt sweet and charming. Still sad to see Adams go after #800.
