The secret history of Barry Allen’s Flash ring is revealed as the Scarlet Speedster tangles with the Trickster in a tale that starts out as fun and games but ends with a last-page cliffhanger no reader will see coming. Don’t skip to the end! Don’t spoil it for friends! Don’t miss this inaugural issue of The Flash by the new series team of writer Kevin Shinick and rising-star artist Clayton Henry.
This wasnt a groundbreaking issue nor was it intended to be. Its a surprisingly reassuring read to let Flash readers know the book is still in good hands with this new creative team. Read Full Review
Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that Shinick has proven himself as steward of the Flash mythos. But he has made a good start. This was a serviceable first outing, providing an entertaining tale. Most importantly, Shinick has shown that he has the potential to provide some great stories. I'm sure that as he settles into his role, he'll prove he's up to the job. Read Full Review
This was just a teaser for what Shinick has planned for his run and the main plot kicks off next issue, but it's a promising start. I'm just not sure if more is planned beyond the four issues we have announced before Endless Winter. Read Full Review
Clayton Henry does an excellent job with the art in this issue The style of the imagery is lighter and matches the tone of the plot well. Read Full Review
Altogether, 'The Flash' #763 delivers a solid start for the new team of Shinick and Henry. While largely a skippable issue, the art team, cohesive narrative, and fresh voice make it worthwhile for Flash fans both old and new. Read Full Review
Kevin Shinicks first relay with THE FLASH wasn't exactly what I expected. After desiring something different for so long, I wonder if this creative team might not have been the best move for something long term. Now, I understand this was only one issue AND I understand we dont know if this team is going to be on for an extended period of time. However, this issue felt like the perfect tale for a kid's story or even an animated series on Saturday morning. It lacked the depth and maturity that I feel THE FLASH ongoing should possess, which was only advanced by the artistic choice and heavy, almost marker outlines, from Clayton Henry and Marcelo Maiolo giving it a more cartoonish feel. Look, this is one issue. I get it. But as an opener to a potential ongoing series, this is not what I was looking for. Read Full Review
This first issue with the new creative team gets off to a bit of a slow start. It isn't bad or anything but if you want something to really sink your teeth into and think about where it's going to go, there isn't anything like that. But frankly, I don't think it needs to have that. It's a silly and fun issue of Flash that gives me a really old school comic feel. I like it plenty. The art is odd in some places but overall, it's nice to just goof around every once and a while. Read Full Review
This first entry is fine, but it could have used a stronger start for the scarlet speedster. Read Full Review
The final page suggests that big things are coming with a revamp of a classic Flash villain. I think it would have been better had Shinick and Henry decided to open with that story instead of this frankly lackluster one. The Flash #763 isn't a bad comic but it's a painfully ordinary opening for a new run following after the Legion of Zoom. Still, there is potential here and a hope that something better is building.

Flash #763 is a hollow, forgettable reading experience. From a paper-thin plot to hackneyed emotional beats to art that just doesn't work, this is one to skip from start to finish. Read Full Review
I enjoyed the story behind the ring
This was a nice little story nothing really big but a nice story that was well written and had good artwork as well
" So in addition to housing my costume, it also bring me hope during what could otherwise be dark times."

The epitome of filler but it's not bad.
The idea of somebody stealing his ring enchanted me, but it was spoiled by the cover and the execution. I really wanted to enjoy this, I think it could have been fun! And yet!
A generic filler issue.
This was fine, I guess. There were so many moments where I thought Flash could've ended this early, but he just didn't. Anyway, getting hit in the face with the force of nine airbags is a good way to die.
