This issue does a great job of grounding the story, creating space to explore the characters in more depth. I especially enjoyed the interactions between Wally and Grodd, which add heart and humanity to the narrative. Colonel West's reaction to learning about his son's potential significance from Elenor was also a standout moment, adding emotional weight and intrigue. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all unfoldsand how Wally, with Grodd at his side, handles the challenges that lie ahead. Read Full Review

Absolute Flash #4 doesnt need a multiversal crisis or a speed force explosion to thrill. It pulls you in with character, heart, and the kind of quiet horror that makes you question who can truly be trusted. Its another strong entry in a series that dares to redefine what a Flash book can be. Read Full Review

While the art style shifts, the issue effectively expands the Absolute Universe with intriguing new details and hints at a larger, predetermined plan for Wally's powers. Read Full Review

Real sense of youthful superhero energy, which is a good place to put Absolute Flash at this point in its lifecycle. Read Full Review

Absolute Flash #4 slows things down to deepen its emotional core and expand its world. With heartfelt writing and bold artistic shifts, it highlights Wally's vulnerability while teasing bigger sci-fi ambitions to come. Read Full Review

While it may not be as visually genius or loud as the first three issues,Absolute Flash #4is a much needed pacesetter that better sets apart the Wally West of this world and the Wally West of the core DCU. The new status quo functions as a strong story engine as well that promises to blend new ideas with the core concept of reinvention for the Flash mythos. Read Full Review

Absolute Flash #4 is a big step back from the momentum created by the first story arc of this series. There is an intensity that is severely lacking with the story started up here. Read Full Review

wonderful, the only downside is the art, although in this style it looks even more like a lesbian. It's what I wanted, an edition with more worldbuilding and with a focus on the humanity of the characters.

Linda appears (:

Other familiar names are mentioned.

Aside from Absolute Green Lantern, the Absolute Universe keeps delivering hit after hit with consistently high quality. Absolute Flash isn’t my favorite title from the line, but it’s still top-tier, especially compared to what other publishers are putting out. And the pacing seems to improve with each new issue.

Writing in this one is top notch. Very well paced issue, probably best so far in that regard.
Art is pretty good, bringing down rating a little.

It's been a while since I liked reading a Flash book. I like Jeff Lemire's voice for Linda Park and Wally West

Lemire continues to do an amazing job building the character of Wally, his dad, and the world they live in. Nice to see some new familiar faces appear in this issue. My only complaint is the guest artist, who pales in comparison to the gorgeous Nick Robles art we’ve enjoyed in previous issues. That last page is a stunner, can’t wait to find out what happens next!

Finally feel like we are starting to scratch the surface of what Barry was actually working on. Still not too much of a fan of the art, but starting to like the story more and more each week. I liked seeing that Omega Men graffiti, just letting you know. It is all connected. Really loving Grodd; I'm just not sure if he's against Wally or with him by the end of the issue LOL. Solid Issue.
