"The Death of the Speed Force" claims its first victim, forcing the Flash to reconsider whether the Speed Force is worth saving! But the Flash is unaware of Captain Cold's mission to power up his fellow Rogues, and Snart's next stop is right in the middle of a broken home. When Mirror Master and Golden Glider are at each other's throats, there aren't enough Lex Luthor power-ups in the world to bring them back together...or are there?
Since taking over The Flash at the dawn of the Rebirth era, Williamson has made this one of my favourite titles of all time, but in the last few months, he has somehow managed to make it even better. Add to this the superlative art from Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona, this makes The Flash #79 a great read. Read Full Review
The Flash is comic book comfort food. You can pick it up each issue knowing Williamson is going to deliver the goods and the art treat will always hold up their end with dynamic pages. This arc is finding Williamson especially inspired and how it plays out could have a massive repercussion on the Flash Family. Read Full Review
I hope Sandoval sticks with this for the long haul. He is an incredible artist who amplifies the story like you wouldn't believe. This is a strong and reliable comic book every time it comes out. Read Full Review
Sandoval has some impressive and dynamic art in this issue. The art pops off the page and is filled with action and movement. Read Full Review
Few titles are doing better with the Year of the Villain tie-ins than Flash, which has not only given the Rogues new powers, but used the opportunity of Luthor's offer to explore these workaday villains and their complex relationships. Read Full Review
Flash#79 expertly ramps up the tension of "Death and the Speed Force," reminding readers how good not only this title can be but also its writer. Read Full Review
In all, this was a very enjoyable issue that made me interested in the storyline requiring only a couple of tweaks. Read Full Review
While a great looking comic, the focus of the story is beginning to falter, choosing to prepare for Flash's Year of the Villain story. Read Full Review

If you're into some standard superhero fare, The Flash has you covered. Read Full Review
A lot stuff happens in this issue, but the plot barely inches forward. Can we PLEASE just get to the forces dying? Read Full Review
As per usual, we get some amazing art in this issue of the Flash. However, if you were hoping the quality would remain high like the last few issues, you are sadly going to be disappointed. Two-thirds of this book is about one character telling other characters information that we mostly already know. The whole issue is kind of a slog to get through. Thankfully the last bit of this book gives us a really cool twist on the story we are currently telling and adds a new element of the conflict. Without it, this issue might have been a huge waste of time. Read Full Review
Love it!!!
Prelude:
This recent arc has been a mixed bag for me but it's been improving recently. Let's see how it's going.
The Good:
Didn't expect to see Hunter return but I'm happy for it.
I always like the whole "desperate times call for desperate measures" idea and it's being used well here.
I really liked Glider's chapter in this issue. Quite interesting to see and I wonder where this will go.
Art was great again.
The Bad:
These Rogue costumes really don't work for me. I could go with Captain Cold's and Heatwave's but none of the rest look good or anywhere near it.
Wally and Avery are doing jack all.
Conclusion:
Another strong issue, however the new c more
" So dont be a princess, be a ghost... And glide. "
-Golden Glider
"Don't mess with the Flash family"
Another great issue.
I honestly forgot that Iris had even left. This was fine. There are bits and pieces of this I actually kind of like. But so much that I don't. It's tiring to read.
Oh my god the new Rogue costumes look so stupid oh no.
