Wally’s back is up against the wall as the Rogues bear down on him. Can heevade capture and harness some of his newfound speed, or is he already atthe finish line?
This book is so different from the rest of the line, but it's a great coming-of-age story for the universe's youngest hero. I'm very curious to see how this young Flash will interact with the rest of the line, but right now this is yet another phenomenal book in it. Read Full Review

Absolute Flash #3 does an excellent job providing the payoff to what has been built so far in these first three issues. Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles nail getting the reader to feel the life changing journey Wally West has been on as he comes to accept his powers. The way one of the classic Flash antagonist plays an important role in Wally embracing his superhero identity was a cool twist on the origin. By the end your left excited for what will come next for the Absolute Universe's Flash. Read Full Review
Absolute Flash #3 is continuously solid as it struggles to balance its pace with substance. While this issue may tie together the loose abstracts of a character for Wally, there's still a distinct lack of meat behind this reinterpretation that has it falling behind its counterparts.

Absolute Flash #3 is Lemire at his best: introspective, intense, and unpredictable. With high-stakes action, emotional gravity, and stunning visuals, this issue proves Wallys story is one worth racing after. This is alightning-fast thrill ride grounded in real emotion. If Wally West is going down, hes doing it in one of the most compelling Flash stories in years. Read Full Review
Absolute Flash #3 hands waves away most of the open questions, creates a surprisingly charming friendship between Wally and Grodd, and runs off into the sunset as if the last three issues never happened. Jeff Lemire's script gets Wally into his super suit with a few strong emotional beats, but the big ending feels cheap and unearned. Read Full Review
This just continues to blow my mind. This is the best Lemire DC work since his Green Arrow run, which to me is utterly classic.
This merges Lemire's penchant for psychological horror beautifully with his flair for family drama. This could end up as his defining DC run.
I love everything about this series.
I love the art, the writing, the characterization, the rogues design, the new costume. It's the best of what a Flash comic has to offer, fun and excitement. I loved it.
My favorite issue of the run so far.
I really enjoyed this. It's only 20 pages in one single issue, but it's so tightly paced and well-executed that I want to see more from this. Honestly Absolute flash has been ny third favorite series coming out of the Absolute DC Universe line-up. The art and action is just so kinetic and fast-paced, and I like Jeff Lemire's Wally West voice on how this Wally is alone with just Monkey Grodd. I haven't felt this excited for a Flash run since Jeremy Adams Flash run to be honest
