This is a long story, going through April, but so far it's held my attention like no major Flash story has in many years. Read Full Review

The Flash #792 brings The One Minute War to its full action packed potential while pushing the narrative in a revealing direction. The art here is a huge step up from the first two issues and solidifies Roger Cruzs position on this book. Read Full Review

The Flash #792 picks up the pace and the fun of the One-Minute War event with a Wallace and Bart-centric issue. Adams nails the slightly juvenile charm of the leads, the execution and success of their mission make sense, and the action is a lot of fun. Read Full Review

The Flash may be one of the most consistently good books at DC, and as the One-Minute War wages on, the story couldn't be more riveting. Read Full Review

Nevertheless, a serious, emotional, heartfelt, action-packed, suspenseful moment or story just doesnt jive with his style. And thats why it's been so hit or miss with this story so far. Again, I loved the heck out of The Flash: One-Minute War Special #1 due to the background which is given and the illustrations that complemented the design of the narrative. Now, Im sure Cruz is already all in on the rest of the One-Minute War. So, at this point, it would be too difficult to change. So, my only hope is that Adams and Cruz have found a way to better blend their more serious aspects of The Flash together to drive this story home. Overall, The Flash #792 felt more like Adams and was by far the best issue of this arc to date drawn by Cruz. Read Full Review

With things moving as quickly as they are, the One-Minute War could easily continue for the rest of the year without feeling like its getting tired. Each issue seems like its moving along with such a satisfying celerity. Theres no reason why the story should have to speed up to get to its inevitable resolution when a simple raid behind enemy lines can be as satisfying as it is in issue #792. Its not anything new, but Adams and company make it feel fresh anyway. Read Full Review

One Minute War has had some fun moments and even with an ill-fitting art style this has been a uniquely entertaining sprint in the Adams run. Read Full Review

Part three is primarily a team-up between Kid Flash and Impulse, and it's nice to see their friendship and bond continue to grow. Read Full Review

Story: So far, Adams has not disappointed at all. His writing has always been the highlight of the series, and nothing has slowed down in this war. I love how he writes Bart as impulsive but also aware of the situation around him. Some of his decisions end up working, especially when facing against Miss Murder, and Ace (yes I'm hopping on the Ace train) is the perfect counterbalance to keep him grounded. Their dynamic is very solid and something I could see working well in a standalone series.

Art: I wanted to ignore the problems of the art, but as the series goes on, I can't help but feel like Cruz is simply not fit for this series. The crudeness of the style is becoming more and more apparent, and I feel like it's clear that the art takes away from the emotions of the series. Then again, this is a bi-weekly series, so I'd imagine it would be rather hard for an artist to bust their butt drawing this much, so I'm willing to cut Cruz some slack. And thankfully, the beautiful coloring does make up for some of the crudeness.

Overall, since I'm more invested in the story than the actual art, I'm giving this a 9.5. I hope Adams continues writing! more

So far the best part of this arc. This one was fun and had great chemistry between Ace and Impulse. The art at times is good then the next panel bad. It hasn’t fully detracted from the story fully but also doesn’t was give you immersion.

A very solid issue for One-Minute War. The main story here is the development of the friendship between Ace and Bart, which was done well. This very much felt like a science-fiction/adventure movie in a good way. There was just enough development to keep this story going at a steady pace. My main criticism of this issue is the art. Cruz's art isn't BAD by any means, but it feels as though that this just isn't the book for his talents. However, it doesn't take much away from the issue as a whole. All in all, a pretty good issue for Flash that advanced the story and had quite an interesting final page.
