At last-the Flash is free of Paradox, but that freedom came at a great cost. For years, the Reverse-Flash has wanted Barry Allen to suffer, but he's always been defeated by the Flash Family! Now the Reverse-Flash is going to build his own family to help him get the revenge he demands! This issue kicks off a new, epic story that will force the Flash into what may be his final race!
Williamson has clearly been building to a huge finale to his overarching Flash story, and it looks as if we're finally heading into the thick of it as he enters the final few months of his tenure as writer. This is a great time to be a Flash fan. Read Full Review
This is some really enjoyable stuff and I can't wait to see how Williamson wraps up his run. Read Full Review
We're in for one hell of a final run here as Williamson brings the curtain down. Read Full Review
Williamson isnt rushing this arc through and this issues focus on gathering armies was an exciting tease of whats in store in subsequent issues. The Flash might not be the same after Williamson leaves but hes making sure to end with an explosive finale. Read Full Review
As Joshua Williamson's run on The Flash sprints toward the finish line, we get another delightfully solid installment, with Eobard Thawne putting together his aptly named "Legion of Zoom". Read Full Review
This slower, dull follow-up promises a dark future for The Flash. Read Full Review
This is a good setup issue for the story arc. I can't say it was terribly surprising -- it flows about as you'd expect with very few surprises, but it's getting the work done so that the epic battle can take place later. Read Full Review
Flash #756 kicks off the newest arc with more of an uninspired whimper than a bang, signaling that the creative team may be out of new or interesting ideas. Read Full Review
Joshua Williamson's time on the book is winding down, and while a Reverse-Flash Family story sounds cool, there is not much to this start. It's a by-the-numbers gathering of Eobard's team while Barry mopes around Central City. Christian Duce's art is excellent, but I will wait to see how this story develops before recommending it to anyone. Read Full Review
As opening chapters of stories go, this one could have been stronger, but there is a lot of potential, considering the sheer magnitude of the concept of the Flash taking on this many of his biggest threats all at once. Couple that with the surprise ending to this issue, and the readers could be in for a major treat. Cross your fingers and hope against hope that Williamson has something fun up his sleeve.

A very good setup issue
" Rogues hate speedsters ! "
- CAPTAIN COLD
By-the-numbers Flash storytelling.
Going back to monthly and bringing a new writer in could give this book the shot in the arm it so sorely needs.
I need to stop buying this book.
DC needs to end the double shipping because it's seriously affecting the quality of the stories being put out. The strategy worked perfectly during Rebirth because they were coordinated really well what with the event void, and the creators were able to follow their blueprint/run plans with little opposing editorial interference.
And why the fuck is it called the Legion of Zoom if half of them aren't speedsters, just time displaced rogues? I want to see Savitar + Inertia + Rival so they can face off against Chain Lightning flash family from Pre-N52!
And btw, the Tornado Twins are definitely Thawne's kids and not Barry's.
August Heart. Cop. Friend. Hero. Killed a bunch of people but he seemed real sorry for it so lol I guess that’s fine. The rest of this issue was boring but whatever. I don’t love the idea of the Rogues being dragged into this again, but okay.
Ugh, this is just more of the stuff I don't like.
