The art was fabulous and timeless with its rendering. Plus, the writing was humorous and witty. Furthermore, the story is engaging and wildly entertaining. Its the FLASH series Ive wanted for years AND it looks like its going to fix some mistakes in the process. What more could you ask for in a comic? This issue is a perfect example of a creative team hitting on all cylinders. Pick this up, add the FLASH to your pull list, and let me know what you think. Adams and his team are on fire!

The Flash keeps on delivering and making exceptional use of its premise. The tease for next issue focuses on one of my least favorite eras of Wally West, but with this creative team Im optimistic it will be done justice without the crisis. Read Full Review

This latest arc has been a celebration of all things Wally and an amazing storyline for the Flash. Read Full Review

I haven't been sold on this run completely yet, but this is easily the best issue of the run and a potential classic for Wally West fans, depending on how this arc comes to an end. Read Full Review

Despite ending in a place most fans would rather forget,Flash #771 is a textbook example on how to balance fun with pathos in comics. If you've been on the fence about whether Wally could truly return to the spotlight in a way that didn't feel forced or cliched, this is the issue for you. And that's a Flash fact. Read Full Review

All of the artists deliver some great visuals throughout the issue. Not one moment feels out of place in the world of the narrative and the styles compliment each other well. Read Full Review

the stakes keep getting raised as we continue our Quantum Leap style of storytelling for the Flash and while I thought that we couldn't get much higher after the previous issue, this chapter's cliffhanger leaves me salivating for what's coming next and the possibility that things could completely change for our hero.  It's just a cool issue all around with some great art and man I can't wait for what this team will bring us next issue.

The Flash continues its story with a fun chapter slingshotting Wally West throughout the Flash legacy and the West family. It's a lot of fun, and has the potential for setting up a great run to come. Read Full Review

The Flash #771 is a solid issue for three-quarters of its duration. There is constant enjoyment to be had for this part of the comic as Wallys adventure is always giving us new opportunities. But when it starts to slip it becomes so difficult to keep up with, which is annoying at this stage in the narrative. Any cliffhanger ending loses its impact because the reader is still three pages behind. The art is the biggest selling point of this issue, full of top-class creators, but the dialogue and nostalgia trips to classic stories additionally make this book worth trying. Read Full Review

While it is kind of weird, that the issue is clearly divided in 2 parts(both of which were great), it was still an amazing time for me.

Generally this run continues to be fun, without being a complete parody or satire, and this issue is probably the best example of that. There is just so much love put into every page and I love how Adams is not afraid to do some risky things(the next issue). It's just awesome seeing how the characters interact with each other or with those extremely wacky situations. That's the whole thing, while this issue is very funny it keep the emotional core of the characters and does not distort them. But legit there were a few moments, where I laughed my ass off in the Legion's parts, especially the moments where Lex, Grundy and the Riddler were present.

Clearly I expected the whole issue to be dedicated to the legion and Reverse Flash, but certainly I was not disappointed with what we got.

This was probably the issue that focused the most on Wally and probably the most emotional one so far too. The arc, that Wally is going to through is great and the way it's progressing is not less stellar IMO. I'm not gonna delve too deep into everything(cos spoilers), but again the progression in this specific issue is amazingly good. IMO that should be attributed to the great understanding of what being the flash means, the difficulties that come with being The Flash and of course the characters and what they represent, that the writer displays here.

Don't even get me started on how awesome the ending here is. The whole second part of the issue and even the run so far lead up to it, so it feels really earned and deserved, when you see it. It's literally the perfect closer to Wally's arc, the final nail in the damage control coffin and also the biggest obstacle, that he has to go though to become the Flash, we all know and love.

The Flash needed something like this for some time now and IMO Adams outdoes himself with every next issue. more

This is a great issue and totally has me sold on this new creative team. Great balance of comedy, heart, and interesting story to hopefully put the unfortunate story of Heroes Crisis behind him.

The only thing wrong with this book are the few pages of Brandon Peterson's art.

I think his art is way better than it was a few years ago. Take a look at the run he did on Uncanny Inhumans and then come and look at this again. It's not a big difference but it's noticeable and it looks better here. Although, I rather have Fernando Pasarin or Jack Herbert as the full-time artist. I think Will Conrad is doing the next few issues, he's pretty solid.

Wow.... Flash has become one of my favorite series to come out of Infinite Frontier.

Beginning to makes things right

Fans get to enjoy glimpses of other realities through different artist, while Wally starts to find purpose in being the Flash despite his slip-ups. Which is why whatever's effecting the speed force brings him to the biggest folly in recent memory.

Best issue by Adams imo

The Legion of Doom bit was amusing. I had some issues with the future bit. It was nice seeing the characters there, but the comments about speed force connection bugged me. Just let that be Wally's thing. DC already seems to have issues differentiating Flashes, so I think highlighting other strengths/abilities makes more sense than stacking them each generation/iteration.

This was not a bad issue, honestly. I've been critical of this run, but I actually did have a fun time with the vintage Legion of Doom segment, and I thought the bit with Wally and his daughter was nice. Of course, they had to bring up Heroes in Crisis, which isn't a great way to endear readers, I don't think. I still have my problems with the "main" artist. The one with semi-realistic art, where every character is outlined. I just don't like it. Oh and I guess I liked the beat with Linda, speaking of. Who knew I'd turn around on this one?
