Dr. Alchemy takes another step closer to unstoppable power and immortality as he devises a way to combine himself with the power of the Philosopher’s Stone. The Flash will have to discover that being faster than his foe may not be enough!
With The Flash #765, Shinick continues to show that he's fit to serve as caretaker of the Flash mythos. If he and the artistic team maintain the level of quality evident in this first story, then we're in for another classic run. Read Full Review
The Flash keeps rolling and remains an enjoyably consistent good read. Read Full Review
This is definitely a much more conventional Flash story than the epics Williamson worked with, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. A hero's strength is often determined by how he handles his villains, especially those lesser villains who he fights repeatedly. Shinick, who has experience with DC characters, seems to have a good voice for Flash and his supporting cast and I wouldn't be surprised to see him on more DC stories once Future State is over.

Sami Basri and Will Conrad do great work with the art. Both styles work really well together and the artists' styles make the story more engaging to the reader. Read Full Review
The run is still on its "sea legs" and while there are strong moments weaved throughout, this new take on Barry Allen has a long way to run. Read Full Review
The new creative team really drops the ball as the book that they had so much promise with has begun to tear at the seams. Major plot points are resolved with quick fixes that ultimately don't make a ton of sense and more things that don't make sense happen in an effort to move the story along faster. Normally, I'm a fan of moving things along, but not at the expense of common sense. Read Full Review
this was great! while not quite on the same level as the phenomenal last issue it is still fantastic. i have thoroughly enjoyed this arc and would love it if kevin shinick was given a chance to write some more flash books
This is certainly more interesting than it has been. But the writing feels so bleh and everything feels weirdly inconsequential.
I mean, this is fine, but I can't say it's really holding my interest.
This was one of my least favorite issues of the entire year. Detective Grammar, I mean flash, solving the mystery of possessives made me close the book; truly awful stuff.
