I like your review. I don't want to agree with it. Doesn't mean I don't. I guess I've grown very tired of traditional Flash stories. I thought this tried something different and was ambitious, even if he didn't always succeed. Sometimes it felt like i was reading about reed Richards and FF, which was weird. In a year or two I will reread this and decide if it's a keeper. I'm dropping the title after this issue because I don't care about KO and won't be reading any issues that tie into it.

Sep 24, 2025The sheer scale of this final arc was challenging at times, but it did find time for those small moments that really make characters like this work. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Sep 24, 2025The Flash #25 introduces doomsday cosmic stakes, then stumbles so badly in the wrap-up that even Speed Force therapy can't save it. It's a finale that promises meaning and consequences but delivers a pile of handwaves and unanswered questions. If this is the finish line, someone tripped on their own shoelaces twenty yards back and never bothered to check the stopwatch. Read Full Review

Difficult to review, because this book summarizes everything that both worked and didn't work about the run. thank you to Si Spurrier for trying something different with s character I love, but have grown tired of because of repetitive rinse and repeat stories. Because you can love and character and be tired of them because "both can be true". For everyone that hated it, you will get more stories of Flash chasing rogues in Central City. I may or may not be back after KO.

Overall, Simon Spurrier's Flash is just confusing. This is the confusing, disjointed run I have read in a Flash run. Compare to Mark Waid, Geoff Johns, Joshua Williamson, and Jeremy Adams this lacks focus. Simon Spurrier is a writer that I'm hard to get behind because he likes to get all dense and crazy. I can tell that Simon Spurrier wanted to make a Flash version of Immortal Hulk where he goes all out bat-shiz crazy, but after the fan and critic response you can tell that Simon Spurrier had to be more family friendly and his heart wasn't in it. I appreciate Simon Spurrier for taking risks and not having Wally West be stagnant. But the problem was that the writing, the dialogue, the art was not consistent, the story just felt dry and ra more
