    The Flash has been one of my favourite titles of the Rebirth era. I think this is because Williamson seems to have a good grasp of the character of Barry Allen. Not just all the qualities that make him great, but also the weaknesses that make him human. Williamson's entire run has been about Barry learning to come to grips with those weaknesses to become the best hero he can be. Read Full Review

    In my estimation, this issue of The Flash was one of the best things to come out of the Year of the Villain event at DC. Read Full Review

    The climax of this great Flash story has come and now gone and it was a real treat to read. The art was amazing and we got some great storytelling to go along with it. There are some things that happen without explanation but overall, this was a great end to the latest chapter in the Flash mythos. Read Full Review

    Word Of The Nerd - Edward Wendt Jan 16, 2020

    This issue is fun, though not something that we haven't seen a hundred times before in Flash titles, and so will likely just become forgettable. Read Full Review

    Sandoval delivers some stunning art throughout this issue. The art had a fluid look like everything was in motion. Rafa Sandoval always gives the Flash a sense of energy when he's drawing him and that energy is present throughout the issue. A great looking finale. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Matt Meyer Jan 21, 2020

    "Rogues' Reign" comes to its knockout finish, as the heroes prevail, reality and sanity are restored, but with an inevitable price. It's comic book madness perhaps not at its finest, but it's still undeniably fun. Read Full Review

    A serviceable ending to a crossover arc that probably would have been better left to the side. Read Full Review
