For now, this is a well written issue with some excellent art from Christian Duce. You can't ask for more than that. Great job. Read Full Review

The addition of Paradox to the Flash's rogues gallery has added a new sense of urgency to this title as it heads towards what might be Josh Williamson's final act in Flash #751. Read Full Review

Williamson is always at his best on this book when he is writing about the Speed Force or his newly-created other Forces (Still, Strength, and Sage). So this cosmic story of a man simultaneously gifted and damaged by Flashs time manipulation lends itself to his strengths. He falters a little this issue, but theres still time for him to dig deep, and focus on what works best about this arc: the fact that Barry Allen was wrong to try to alter the timeline, and he should probably pay for it in some way, shape, or form. If not, it might just be another generic story with a one-off villain nobody will remember two years from now. Read Full Review

"The Flash Age" kicks into high gear as the stakes skyrocket and Paradox proves no one is safe... The Flash is suddenly one of DC's hottest books! Miss it at your peril! Read Full Review

Paradox is being positioned as a huge villain for Flash even committing what could be a major game-changer for the series based on how Williamson fully plays it out. Hopefully theres more surprises to come with his take on Flashs latest dangerous Rogue. Read Full Review

Christian Duce's art is amazing and he does a great job of portraying the movement and power of the characters. Paradox is satisfactorily menacing in appearance and the movement in the pages are eye-catching. Read Full Review

The Flash Age continues but struggles to look past previous arcs. Read Full Review

This issue feels like it's over before it really gets going, but then maybe I shouldn't expect a Flash book to be anything less than a fast read. Read Full Review

Williamson and Duce provide another serviceable story here, but it certainly doesn't live up to the origin issue of Paradox, though it has quite the stinger. Read Full Review

The Flash seems to really be hoping to build a new reader base as this book continues from the last issue in taking several panels to dump exposition on the readers which long time fans will already know. It drags down the issue horribly but thankfully there is a ton of great art in this book to look at. Read Full Review

Prelude:
So far, I've really enjoyed The Flash Age. Let's see how it continues.

The Good:
Paradox brings up an interesting point.

Cool cliffhanger.

Some really interesting hints of where the story is going.

Duce's art is quite good in this issue.

The Bad:
August's "betrayal" was rather obvious.

Conclusion:
Another great issue. Yeah, August could've been better but it's still a great issue to read.

" Why are you a Legend, Barry Allen ? I've spent centuries pondering that question. You're not the first Flash. And you're far from the last. But you are the one who is written about the most. The one who shapes the Flash legacy. Why are you the one worthy of the myth ? Oh, I know... Because you died. You're the great savior. The hero of the multiverse. The martyr. But you came back and did... What ? What good have you done since your return that is greater than your own death ? You know what i think flash ? You should have stayed dead. "
- PARADOX

"Because being dead would be a bummer"

It's a bad day to be The Fastest Man Alive, but it's certainly a good day to read some Flash.

This Paradox guy is making a lot of sense.

Okay, so, I’m reading Paradox being all “What’s good about you? Why does anybody care about you? Because you died. That’s the only reason. And then you came back and all you do 24/7 is suck and ruin the timestream with your selfishness. You should have stayed dead, Barry” and I’m kinda sitting here like “... yeah. YEAH.”
