The Flash is running himself ragged trying to learn about the new forces, but all it's done is tear his life apart. Now that he's back from his Force Quest and home in Central City, he finds that the city was just fine without him, better even! His home is crime-free, and it doesn't need the Flash anymore! But where has Commander Cold gone? Barry races to find him and hopefully figure out what's happened while he was away!
The artwork by Scott Kolins is everything you could hope for. There's a reason Kolins was considered the definitive Flash artist by a generation of fans and he's still got it over a decade later. If you haven't been reading the Rebirth Flash series, this is the perfect place to start and see what you've been missing. Read Full Review
Joshua Williamson has put together a genuinely intriguing mystery with a creepy premise that is sold perfectly by the art of Scott Kolins and colorist Luis Guerrero. Read Full Review
A close to perfect opening issue of the arc with action, a kick-ass mystery, and some plenty of originality. Read Full Review
THE FLASH #67 is yet another fabulous issue. This issue feels like a very well-constructed Silver Age throwback, thanks to Joshua Williamson's inventive plot and script. Scott Kolins' designs and attention to detail elevate the book even higher. Read Full Review
This issue provides a strong second installment of the current arc because it propels the story forward and provides the reader with interesting cliff hangers. Specifically, Barry must locate The Trickster and find out how he was able to gain control of Central City during his absence. I highly recommend this book to fans of The Flash and of DC Comics.

The Flash continues to be a very fun read and this arc with The Trickster is shaping up very nicely to be another memorable storyline. Read Full Review
This is a great issue. Williamson really got this book back on track and it's funny as well as being genuinely scary and fun. The art by Scott Kolins is perfect, too. He can handle anything Williamson throws at him with aplomb. I really enjoyed this comic book thoroughly. Read Full Review
Scott Kolins' art is really good. It does a great job of conveying energy and movement. Read Full Review
A strong starting point that hits the ground running headlong into fun! Read Full Review
It's not the strongest issue of the series, but it does its job in setting up suspense in spades. Read Full Review
Regardless of Barry's other problems, the Trickster poses a threat that keeps the reader guessing. Plus the return of the Trickster to his Silver Age roots gives the storyline a nostalgic note, but still presents the him as a real and dangerous threat to the Flash. I look forward to seeing how the Flash fares as the details of the Trickster's plan are revealed. Read Full Review
A good continuation of some long running themes and an eerie exploration of the city that Barry left behind, now that the Trickster is in charge. Read Full Review
The Flash #67 amps up the creepiness, setting up a fun revival arc for the Trickster. Read Full Review
This issue is puzzling. On one hand, I like the mystery that is set up in this issue. I hope it leads to an interesting story. However, a lot of the story is Barry going between the same couple of locations and wondering the same thing at each of them. It's a good start, but not a great one. Read Full Review
The Flash #67 continues the trend of taking a top-tier character with a ton of interesting story threads to explore and instead pushing all of the good into a corner and giving us filler instead. Read Full Review
In the end, there are the ingredients of a good Trickster story here, but Williamson isnt quite delivering with the first issue of the arc. Yes, the mystery of how Jesse is doing what he is doing, and what his real plans are, is intriguing, but there is no excitement there. The story needed a big hook to get peoples attention, and it falls extremely short of that goal. Hopefully, Williamson has a larger master plan at work, or the readers are in for a disappointing arc.

How much better is this book when it actually focuses on Rogues and stuff, instead of the new forces? I am having so much fun reading this, haven't enjoyed this book in quite some time now. And Kolins' art is incredible as always, one of my favourite Flash artists.
A story that I am into! And loving the art! Something new and different. Has some minor missteps but overall enjoyed it and looking for next issue.
Great Art, dull story
This was fine. Certainly an uptick from most of this Flash run. I like these kinds of stories, so I've seen a lot of them, and this is not what I'd call good. Or at least, so far. I'm a little hopeful, actually, but maybe it's just because I'm into this. But yeah, it was fine. Also, what is up with these covers? They always spoil the issue, it's ridiculous.
So what happened to the forces? Why are we focoon Trickster? Let me guess, he’s using one of the forces to make people be happy.... and I’m out!!! This is another book that needs a new writer. Is Williamson also doing 100 issues?
Wally is dead. We don’t know what happened to zoom. We have a commander cold from the future, iris hates Barry, there is no Wallace or other kid Flash anymore.... what is going on? We were just on a force quest that went no where and no Trickster.... yuck
The art is bad and I’m not interested in this story.
