In the final showdown with Dr. Alchemy, the Flash’s powers prove almost useless and his intellect outmatched! How can Barry Allen beat a foe who thinks three steps ahead? The Fastest Man Alive will have to play catchup-but it may not be enough to save himself or Central City.
Despite some initial doubts, Shinick's “With This Ring” story has confirmed for me that Shinick was indeed a good choice to take over the writing duties on The Flash. I have no doubt that his run on the title will be an enjoyable and exciting experience for Flash fans. Read Full Review
Like most DC titles that arent getting cancelled, The Flash has a soft ending in advance of the Endless Winter event and the Future State two month special. Were heading into a very unique period for DC Comics, but Flash fans at least got a fun arc before the hiatus. Read Full Review
Will Conrad delivers some awesome art in this issue. There are moments filled with beautiful detail and the action scenes are thrilling in their composition and complexity. Read Full Review
This definitely feels like an old-school Flash story, and one that nicely sets up the next chapter of Barry and Iris' relationship. Next up is Endless Winter and then a Future State story, but whoever the next Flash writer is long-term will have a strong foundation to build on. Read Full Review
The latest issue of The Flash still holds on to some of the problems that the previous issue brought to us, but rather than linger on those issues for too long, the book decides to give us more of what we want and that is ridiculous fun. It's not gonna blow anyone away, but the book is a nice read and I'm looking forward to more. Read Full Review
Shinik and Conrad's first major story line for Barry Allen ends in a way that makes the whole affair feel like nothing more than a placeholder. Read Full Review
I was excited to see Dr. Alchemy when this arc started because I haven’t seen much of him. I think I’ve seen enough now.
Oh okay, thank you for quickly and wordily wrapping up that problem, Flash.
This story is very weirdly plotted and paced. It seems like the writer wanted to have a twist but couldn't get there by conventional means so he just excised a crucial part of the plot, Barry making the Philosopher's Stone, from the story. What's going on here?
Very bad
