But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Jan 10, 2023The Flash #790 is an excellent example of an opening gambit. The atmosphere is constructed beautifully, shifting in tone from the previous issues of the series and again mid-issue. The suspense is huge and the art is terrific, with a final page that proves that Adams is not willing to mess around. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Jan 03, 2023The Flash #790 sets in motion an event that'll require a ton of Flash-centric heroes to band together, and this first issue establishes them all well. The attack by the enemy is epic, and while we know very little at this point, it's made very clear the Flash family is facing off against a threat that'll require all of their efforts to stop.

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Jan 10, 2023The Flash #790 is a solid kickoff story that brings up readers up to speed (*heh*) on all the Flash-related characters just in time for a massive alien invasion. The stakes are huge, the alien threat is immediately overwhelming, and the art looks great. That said, this issue is mostly a setup issue to establish who's who and what's what, so current Flash readers won't get much out of this issue until the last few pages. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Jan 10, 2023The cliffhanger is a little frustrating because it feels like The Flash characters always have these major tragedies just when things are looking up. Adams has more than earned the benefit of the doubt, so Ill let it play out, but One Minute War doesnt get off to the strongest start for a major arc. Read Full Review

Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg
Jan 10, 2023The latest arc kicks off in blockbuster style with a story that involves the entire Flash-family. An epic, large-scale story is met with dynamic, cinematic artwork. Read Full Review

Jan 10, 2023The jury is still out on Flash #790 and this One Minute War. There just isnt much to go on a quick rundown of the cast and crew. Mix the lack of background, motive, and character explanations with this new more cartoonish style of art and readers will get a story that just doesnt feel like Adams or look like what weve seen to date. Moreover, it just didnt seem to have the same entertaining, easy-going tone that Im used to experiencing from the Adams Flash run. And hence, the jury is still out on this One Minute War. That said, even though Im not sold on Flash #790, Im still tuning into this One Minute War to see how this thing shakes out. Past practice dictates Adams deserves that. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Anthony Bergamini
Jan 10, 2023The beginning of the One Minute War is here and outside of questionable art choices and a lot of setup, this looks to be another enjoyable Flash arc that serves as a great jumping on point for new readers. Read Full Review

Adams run was getting a bit weaker for me lately, but this issue brings it back home. It was beautifully structured with tons of energy and excitement, also so inspired. A true page flipper. The mystery of it is also a thing that drives the story really well. It feels bigger. That can be seen by the numbers of player here too. It's not just the West family. And btw every player is brought in an exciting way,in a creative way, while establishing some interesting stuff, which maybe we will get to in the future and also keeping up with the themes of the run. It shows you the situation, characters are in, it lays the foundation of their issues in very compressed and clear manner. For a comics being so quick paced at putting everything together, more

I kept hearing praise for Jeremy Adams' run, so I finally picked up my first issue of The Flash. I have to say I am very impressed. ONE MINUTE WAR Part One is a fast-paced, colourful and exciting story which promises to deliver a gripping story-arc. This is a strong recommend, and perfect for new readers like me.

A good start to what seems to be the biggest arc for this series yet. Cruz's art is a bit of a step down from Pasarin, but it's not terrible. As for the story itself, this does a good job of setting the scene with each member of the Flash Family. There are solid and interesting stories established amongst the overarching plot of The Horizon landing on Earth. All in all, this was a well-done opener for The One-Minute War.

So it was a fast enjoyable read but rather dour for tone considering how Flash has been lately. And boy the Aliens sure killed a lot of people landing their top. I'm truly over that trope in comics as most times all that death and destruction is glossed over when at that scale. It's gotten old. Oh and I don't like the art at all. Everyone looks ugly and whacked.
