Pick this book up, there is nothing like it on the market and it really shouldn’t be missed. Thank you Joshua Williamson for now making me a Flash fan and even more a Godspeed fan! Read Full Review

I've praised Joshua Williamson's Speed Force mythos up the wall and back, but without Carmine Di Giandomenico, it would not hit as hard. That's not a knock on the writer, but just me singing the praises of the artist. This is a hard-hitting, depressing ride of an issue in what is shaping up to be one of the most enticing Barry Allen Flash arcs in some time. Read Full Review

There is so much death; it gets emotional. I had a hard time reading some parts just due to the fact that it got a bit depressing. I have no problem with death and destruction but I got a pretty emotional attachment and if you have a hard time with feelings take your time with this one. Honestly, beside that I loved this issue.

THE FLASH #7 continues strong even afterthe reveal of its main villain. It only seems to be raising the stakes now thatGodspeed is planning on murdering all of the Flash's enemies. If you haven't checked out this week's FLASH, be sure to pick it up. Read Full Review

We also get a touching scene between Wally and Barry, as Barry teaches the younger speedster how to use his powers. In a similar way to how Meena did, and it's a touching moment. When Wally reveals how helpless he feels about the entire situation, it sparks a thought off in Barry's brain. It's that kind of teacher/brotherly relationship that is reignited from the classic comics that this series needed. It's not that it was lacking without it, but it makes it that much stronger.The Flash #7 is everything we could want from this series – and if you're not reading this, you're most definitely missing out.

Not wrapping the arc by this issue was a risky move. Eight issues is a lengthy opening story, but if it ends as solid as this issue, it will justify one more run. This is much more of what I'm hoping to see going forward with the title. Read Full Review

Some new elements are explored with the speed force. Godspeed has some horrifying notions on how it can be used to extract information, while the Flash understands more about how it got spread among so many people in Central City, and how it is trying to pull itself back together. Read Full Review

It's nice to see the script on this book finally begin to live up to the level of its art as Carmine Di Giandomenico's kinetic and vibrant work remains the star of this show. Read Full Review

Carmine di Giandomenico's glorious artwork continues to the show the golden, etherealtexture of Godspeed against the pure red of the Flash, and helps enhance Williamson's panels as he skilfully continues constructing a story with stakes, emotions and consequences. We should be reaching an end soon to this story but the way the pithy cliffhanger sets things up, it's going to be quite the battle for The Flash. Read Full Review

This series continues to impress, and admirably sets up the upcoming finale of this first arc. Godspeed has brought Barry to a pretty low point, but already Barry is recovering and ready to enter the final round against Godspeed. Read Full Review

Flash #6 is a really solid issue that opens the door for the rest of the arc. While the last issue had many readers with their jaws hitting the floor in shock, this issue moves forward rather than lingering on that moment. A few things are wrapped up nicely, but it may feel like the Wally West portion of the issue is a bit forced. Regardless, this is a solid issue building towards what could be a great next issue. Read Full Review

Unquestionably, Godspeed steals the show in this issue and perhaps even for the series thus far. Despite the Godspeed character appearing to be more of an anti-hero instead of a typical villain, he will certainly draw his fair share of comparisons with Flash's other speedster rivals, such as Eobard Thawne, and even Hunter Solomon during the Wally West Flash era. Speaking of Wally West, the younger Wally West that is, you'll get to see some great strides being made in this issue with the development of Kid Flash. Sooner or later, Kid Flash's role will be more defined, but in the meantime, it'll give readers yet another positive reason to continue picking up this title. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a solid issue of The Flash but not a great one. The script is strong and it's good to see the Wally West subplot finally developing some momentum. Yet the artwork is oddly forced and looks unnatural at times, but it's nothing longtime fans of the character will find themselves unable to work through. Read Full Review

While I was hoping that the Godspeed reveal last issue would send this book up to another level, Joshua Williamson spends a good amount of time catching everyone up and then forces most of what pushes it forward.  I liked the art in this issue, but the story just didn't do it for me.  Godspeed has made it personal, but at the end of the day, I'm not sure I care.

Superman and Flash are my favorite comics of Rebirth, with this issue displaying the exact reason why. The art is perfect for anything related to the speed force and Godspeed is one the best new Flash characters to have existed for a long time. The captions and titles for the comic both on the covers and ending pages give an extra amount of enjoy.

The art was incredible this issue, and the story still retains the excitement on the whole, as we progress towards the end of the first arc. I would have awarded a slightly higher score if not for the fact that this is effectively the 8th issue of this arc, which has really been dragging on for slightly too long now. Hopefully things will be tidied up shortly and we can start to see some new storylines progress from this.

As the story arc continues to stretch, repetitiveness grows and the plot weakens.

Godspeed is a pain in the ass and I hate him

Ok, so...this comic pisses me of. Like, whats break this down, for Rebirth, DC brings in a cool hook for Flash, a bunch of citizens of Central City get Speed Powers, you would think that would be used to bring in some new Heroes, maybe reintroduce some old ones that got pushed to the side, were killed, or haven't been heard from in awhile (Jesse Quick, Trajectory etc). BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, we get a stupid ass murder mystery were the killer was patently obvious almost from the beginning, and then, after 6 Issues every character is suddenly depowered, Meena is dead, and any development or interest anyone gained in any of them is completely wasted. I can't altogether give this comic a completely bad review, it was competent enough and the art was decent, but man, what a cowardly way to get rid of anything interesting that might come from this. more
