"RUNNING SCARED" finale! Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne. Legendary enemies separated by centuries pulled through time itself to battle again and again. Until now. For one year THE FLASH has been building to this single epic moment: the ultimate showdown between The Flash and Reverse-Flash!
Joshua manages to explore the character in ways I've never seen before which transcend him far beyond being just a textbook sociopath and feel right and fit with the character never feeling like he's betraying him. Read Full Review
This was a really cool issue. The fighting is great, there is emotional weight to the battle, and its a lot of fun. Give it a read. Read Full Review
Barry's life is really in turmoil right now, but it makes for great reading. The Flash is easily one of the best books of the Rebirth line right now, and is always the book I read first on any week a new issue comes out. Read Full Review

THE FLASH #27 is a bold new chapter in the life of Barry Allen. Writer Joshua Williamson and artists Paul Pelletier & Howard Porter create a must-read story for all Flash fans. Read Full Review
I really liked this issue and this and the last one have me excited about where the book is going. Barry is finding out that some of his past decisions are coming back to bite him in the ass even while he seems to be winning the day and if you have been thinking of jumping on this book, now is a good time. Recommended. Read Full Review
SPOILERS! Joshua Williamson brings this action packed story to a close, ending it on a quiet and sad moment. And although this issue lacked a bit of the narrative drive this arc started with, it was still an important story and one that will seemingly affect the dynamic of the Flash and his extended family for some time to come and also leaves Barry with some new powers and abilities. Read on for 11 reasons The Flash #27 changes lanes and leaves the road open for some great upcoming tales. Read Full Review
This was a great conclusion to a storyline that I was on the fence about. It was satisfying to see how it ended and both the story and art were top notch. Read Full Review
After the events of The Flash #27 there's no way you can see things going back to normal. The life of a hero is hard when keeping secrets to protect those closest to you can easily become your downfall when they can also feel betrayed upon learning the truth. Patterns are the weakness of any superhero story and luckily this creative team addresses how this will always come back to bite someone like Barry. Read Full Review
Flash was an enjoyable read though the reasoning for Reverse Flash throws off the issue. After this issue, Flash seems to be changing as a series with the repercussions as the conclusion of the arc. Read Full Review
Im glad that this story is over even though the Reverse-Flash seems to be gone for a while. I suspect that he will be revived yet again. Im tired of seeing him. Hes like Sinestro for Green Lantern Hal Jordan. You can always count on a writer to bring him back no matter how often he dies. Because the death of the Reverse-Flash does not appear to be permanent, the story loses all emotional connection and strength. He had been killed in the Button crossover with Batman, and revived the very next issue in Flash. Writer Joshua Williamson has sabotaged his own efforts here. Read Full Review
The next arc suggests changes are coming for Flash. Thats a good thing as Williamson needs to shake things up a bit even if only temporarily. Read Full Review
Visually the book was fun, but the plot was a mess. For howsimple it was, there was way too many shortcuts put in place to get the end.The fight ended up being lackluster. I like Williamson, but this issue feltvery not genuine, and almost more of a time filler than a good storyline. Read Full Review
Williamson's take on Barry Allen doesn't even live up to his own ideals, and it's impossible to forget what a moron Barry has been in this story. Aside from Pelletier's art, this was very unsatisfying. Read Full Review
An important showdown is undermined by many inconsistencies. Read Full Review
This might be just about the perfect issue of Flash. The character stuff with Thawne is touching, and the development of the rift between Barry and Iris works really well. Love the art too. They nailed this one.
리버스 플래시 이녀석 또뒤짐ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 하두 부활하니까 이제 죽어도 별 감흥이 없다ㅋㅋㅋ
그나저나 배리랑 아이리스 이별은 진짜 너무 슬펐음ㅜ
사랑하는 사람을 지키기위해 해왔던 거짓말 때문에 사랑하는 사람과 멀어지게만드니...작화도 넘나 좋았구 앞으로 플래시좀 더 많이 굴려줬으면 좋겠다
Very quickly has Barry's life started to fall apart, with this being not exception. I like the new powers, but a still hesitant on the author stripping away all joy from the flash.
A bit messy, but makes me want to read the repercussions of this story arc. Score: 8.3
As much as I love the Reverse Flash, I am happy that this wasn't dragged any longer. The artwork here was great, with pages done by Pelletier looking straight from Waid's and John's run. I am a bit cautious about the next arc, as there have been countless stories about an evil Flash, but we will see.
Porter and Pelletier are two of my favs, but their art here is horrible. Clearly a rush job to meet deadlines. Disappointing.
Weak end to the arc
