The Flash rarely disappoints and this arc has exceeded expectations on the first Rebirth take on the Flash/Grodd rivalry. Read Full Review

This issue begins with Gorilla Grodd accuses Barry of having self-seeking motives for being The Flash. His team of speedsters confronts Barry for his selfishness. However, the team of speedsters unite as family to oppose Grodd's control of the Speed Force and Central City Read Full Review

I really like Carnie Di Giandomenicos work this issue. It works well even though he does not draw many repetitions of the Flash within one panel. There is feeling that the character is moving fast, regardless. Read Full Review

After several chapters building up to this moment, this issue is almost entirely a showdown between Barry and Grodd. Read Full Review

In the end, this issue may be a letdown in terms of Barrys actions seeming out of character, but its still a fun ride. Grodd was as menacing as ever and the action didnt stop, so there is very little to complain about. With Barrys bad choices adding fuel to the fire for the coming Flash War, surely Williamsons questionable story elements will be addressed some time in the near future. Read Full Review

A great issue with some amazing visuals. Read Full Review

A much better issue than last writing wise and Di Giandomenicos art is great with Plascencias colours this week. Read Full Review

Di Giandomenico's style is an acquired taste, but the visual conceit of depicting the speedsters with squiggly lines to suggest their continual motion is a marvelous conceit. It just works much better in a story where not ALL the characters are moving at super-speed. Read Full Review

This issue, though, is a lot of running in place, and for the first time in the current storyline feels like padding that could have been halved or entirely left out. Read Full Review

We get an average issue, thats pretty typical of this Flash series and run to date, with one more issue to fill out the arc to come that I'm not over excited for, even with Grodd as our villain. The main story revolves around poorly built devices that move the issue forward with little explanation, rhythm, or reason most times. I just wish Barry wasn't so frustratingly wishy-washy about his family relationships. It feels like he's either mad at, or making up with someone, every issue. I'd recommend this only for serious Flash collectors, or Rebirth series regulars, otherwise wait it out until Flash War hopefully reinvigorates this titles direction. Read Full Review

Seems the critics and fans actually agree on a rating for once which is odd to see haha. But I fully agree that this book is deserving of an 8/10 as it had good action, good art and continued an interesting story which continues to build hype to flash wars

The story is just ok. But the artwork really stood out in this issue! Beautiful work by Di Giandomenico! I love it! Now if we could only get a great story to go along with it, this book would be outstanding! Let's go...!

A bit less exciting than the past couple issues, but still pretty good. Nice to see Di Giandomenico on art again. I am still enjoying this arc but I am glad that it's ending next issue, as it's starting to drag.

Welcome to the Oblivion Bar where the first round is on me and the pretzels are free! Be warned: like the pickled eggs at the bar, this issue is going to get SPOILED rotten.

We get to see Barry with powers AGAIN and running from Team Flash and Grodd. He gets a moment breakthrough to Wally who comes up with an idea but doesn’t have enough time to share it with Barry.

However, it turns out, as we take a trip down J-Dubs run of how depressed and emo Barry has been during his run, Barry has actually been collecting parts to alter the lightening wand to not only save Grodd’s life but to take his connection to the speed force for good.

Grodd is back to his old, large, mind control ape-self. Well, Grodd can’t take that so he turns the speed force storm into a negative speed force storm, which no one really understands how the negative speed force works STILL and, which is where the issue ends.....

This was an average issue that pushes the story forward but feels rushed to get to an ending, or dare I say Flash War! Somehow, crazy emo Barry managed to keep a mind reading ape out of his head to not see his plan coming together? Seems odd to me.

But, again the story was quickly progressed and it feels like J-dub tries to also make amends for Barry’s attitude for the last 30 plus issues all in one issue. Personally, it will take more than one issue to change what J-dub has done to Barry attitude, personality, and character. I want the old Barry back... or even just Wally!!!!!

All in all, it was an average arc with average art. It held my attention and moved the story forward. Worth a read if you’ve been following along throughout the past two arcs. If not, just wait for Flash War.

This story arc is incredibly uneven. Full of high points and low points. The last issue was a really low low point. This one is an improvement.
Amazing art by Carmine Di Giandomenico and we get to see a little glimpses of Barry Allen we all know and love. Hopefull and ready to do his best to save the day.
