It's "The Death of the Speed Force" for the Flash as our hero squares off with new force users Fuerza, Steadfast and Psych! If the Flash can't convince his fellow speedsters to unite and find a cure for the dying Speed Force, certain death awaits! Plus, Captain Cold's latest recruit is a familiar friend who's got a brand-new grudge...
I have consistently enjoyed Joshua Williamson's run on the Flash, the series has gotten even better since the Year One storyline. Seeing a properly hopeful and optimistic Barry is a pure joy. I'm eagerly awaiting to see how the Death of the Speed Force wraps up and also to learn what Williamson has planned for the Rogues Gallery. Read Full Review
Williamson is a great writer. He knows how to make an exciting comic book that also goes a bit deeper. My favorite kind of writer. I'm excited to see what's next. It's been great. Read Full Review
I've enjoyed this arc and with this cliffhanger, Williamson has some fun possible directions he can take it especially if the other Force Users get a boost whenever a rival is killed. Williamson continues 78 issues strong with one of DC's most consistently entertaining books. Read Full Review
Rafa Sandoval has some beautiful art in this issue and everything from the action to the characters looks fantastic. All of the action scenes are filled with movement and power. I loved how this book looked from the first pages. Read Full Review
It's maybe a bit too busy to explore all its players, but it's doing a great job of injecting some genuine suspense into the Flash's world. Read Full Review
This issue raises the bar for the Flash comic, which was somewhere in the middle, quality wise. This new issue gives us great action, amazing art, interesting characters, and incredible story progression We even get a cliffhanger that has me already thinking about how the future issues will deal with the consequences. I can't wait to read more. 8.0/10 Read Full Review

While a pretty book, the story has slowed down to assess the threat of the Black Flash. Read Full Review
If you're in search of a superhero comic that doesn't necessarily break the wheel, Williamson's run on The Flash may be worth your time. Read Full Review
A solid 10! What a great book Joshua Williamson continues his great flash run. This book did a tremendous job building up and explaining everything and then concluded in a big way! There is nothing not to like in this one
"No matter how many lives i save... I know death is there. Always behind me.
Black Flash feels like a serious threat!
Prelude:
This has been a bit of a mixed arc for me so here's hoping Williamson improves on this issue.
The Good:
Man, the art in this is absolutely amazing. Really loving Sandoval's work on this book.
I've come to terms with Year of the Villain and these sideplots so I'm enjoying The Rogues recruitment trip a lot more now.
Really interested in the main plot as well as how things are going to go from here.
The Bad:
Plot still feels a bit slow.
Conclusion:
Plot, while slow, is picking up now and I'm getting interested. My main gripes are now becoming the highlights so I hope Williamson keeps this up.
"Death was always ahead of me..."
Black Flash is scary and this book is good again.
Legit I am happy at the idea of these people dying. So um... good work creating likeable characters I guess.
Psych is so goddamn stupid. I'm glad he's dead.
