Joshua Williamson who wrote this comic and art by Carmine Di Giandomenico did a great job here and interested to see how they play off this negative speed force scenario. Read Full Review

Very cool story that has forced Flash into a lot of question marks for him, and readers, to figure out. Read Full Review

The Flash is one of the best DC comic books right now, perhaps second only to Tom King's Batman. That said, this is not the first issue you should pick up. Not that it's not a great introductory issue, because it is but because it's quite clearly a sequel. Read Full Review

That's a sentiment that holds true for the title as well. Two back to back Reverse Flash stories took away somewhat from Williamson's abilities to create fresh challenges for Flash. Negative gets off to a great start with some fun possibilities of what's ahead for The Flash. Read Full Review

An enjoyable read that is as interesting for what it doesn't give away as it is for what it presents on the page. Read Full Review

That being said, a good portion of the art, especially the action scenes, still look good. The story itself is very well-constructed, and it is an engaging comic book to read. This one gets a strong recommendation. Check it out. Read Full Review

Ignoring the disunity between the tone of the story and the aesthetics of the artwork, all of the creators at work on this book are at the top of their respective games. Unfortunately, the final effect of their working together is like trying to play chess with a checkers set. Read Full Review

Overall, The Flash #28 was a fun and action packed read. It's definitely a setup issue but that's to be expected at the start of an arc so it can ease you in. It leaves me very curious how Barry is going to handle the negative powers and what it'll do to him. Read Full Review

Although Barry has it tough right now, the added drama makes for great reading. The Flash is one of the titles I tear into first as soon as I get ahold of it because I have to find out the latest development in Barry's chaotic life. Read Full Review

The start of a new arc, "Negative," serves as a good jumping on point for fans curious as to what Barry Allen's been up to lately and does a solid job of priming readers for what's to come. Read Full Review

This issue is about Barry facing the consequences of prioritizing The Flash over his family and his career. Read Full Review

Barring what I said in the first paragraph, the issue shows potential to be the launch of a very unique and interesting arc, perhaps taking the Flash to levels he hasn’t reached before. And the artwork is spot on, capturing the emotions and anguish of the character, making a very beautiful book. Read Full Review

The art is pretty great and it's a return to the style form earlier issues. I like it and it suits the Flash. It's more consistent than #27, makes me think it the last one was made in a shorter time span but that's just me speculating. Overall, I'm still disappointed on how the last story turned out at the very end, specially since it started out great. I'll remain hope still that this new one get things back into shape. I still like the dialogue annd characters, the narrative needs a little shifting. Read Full Review

While I was hoping for the start of a big arc here, this issue fell flat. If you are new to the book, you may appreciate the recap, but longtime readers can probably skip this and catch up next issue. Read Full Review

An interesting take on Flash's new power set that instead of benefiting him, continues to hurt everything around him, this time in a literal way. I only hope that this does not become a case of a superhero gradually becoming evil due to new powers.

I really am enjoying Williamson’s run on The Flash and can’t wait to see how it all ends. Negative Part 1 is more of a recap and setup of what’s to come and the art is not solid. But, I’m still excited and can’t wait until the next issue.

While nothing big happens, this issue provides a great look at the negative flash

The Negative Flash, while nothing new (considering there have been tons of evil Flash stories), is a rather interesting concept. This issue did not had much going on as was more of an introduction to this new form and I hope that things will be picking up soon.

Excellent artwork. I really like the unique look of Negative Flash, and the black lightening and darkness surrounding him. The story however, was minimal in this issue. It wasn't bad, but more of a summary of events that occurred in the previous story arc. It has a small portion of setup for where the direction this story is going (and collected in trade would read better), but as a single issue, not a lot going on.
