As Barry, Max, Mr. Terrific, and Pilgrim head into the Speed Force to uncover what’s really causing all the chaos around the world, Wally returns home but is under the same mind control that seized Barry. Meanwhile, Linda finally meets the Resident, the being Wally turned to while trapped in the Gallery!
Overall, The Flash #11 is a exposition-heavy chapter in the Flash mythos that delves into the Speed Force but struggles to maintain momentum. If you're a longtime Flash fan with a scientific mind and patience for world-building, this issue might be for you. If you're looking for a fast-paced adventure or a clear resolution to Wally West's predicament, you might want to wait for the next issue. Read Full Review

The Flash #11 is a confusing, weird issue that is exemplary of the series at large. The concepts are fun and entertaining, but Flash fans beware, this is not your typical Flash story. Read Full Review
The Flash #11 is an overwritten, overthought, pretentious pile of poop that dumps an overblown amount of exposition on the reader to explain who and what the Arc Angles are and what they intend to do with Wally West.

Still a lot of weirdness going on, but I do feel that this was a little more clearer as to what's going on. The art here still wasn't my favorite, though I thought it was better in the more abstract panels focusing on Wally.

Admittedly, there are some good ideas here, but I had to put this down not even halfway in. Unfortunately, this is where I'll be dropping this book.
Re-reading this series, this issue basically solidified my problems with Simon Spurrier's Flash. He likes to introduce high concept meta fiction cosmic horror to The Flash to freshen things up similar to Grant Morrison and Mark Millar. But the dialogue, the wording he uses, these days characters don't talk like normal people who are smart. They talk like higher beings who don't know how humans speak. And it's not the Arc Angles, it's the other characters. Talking in unbroken wave form, fractal foam of all things. Epoch. Convulsions of different multiverses. How time is an ocean, and the boundaries of Force Walls and Light Barriers. There's a reason why when Jeff Lemire tries to introduce high concepts in absolute Flash, it works because eve more
