After Impulse’s shocking decision, the Flash races through the time stream before Impulse’s irrational actions can potentially doom the DC Universe. But someone is just a step behind the speedsters, while the Flash and Impulse run right into a shocking reunion!
The Flash Issue 27 has friendly faces but very few real friends. The art gives the book a sense of velocity, even as the Speed Force is on its last legs. Read Full Review
For once, a super-speed race against time actually feels like the desperate rush it should, and this issue's art and coloring are impressive as well. I like it. Read Full Review
The Flash #27 harkens back to the fun that Mark Waid imbued the character with in years prior, showcasing an excellent tie-in story to DC K.O. Read Full Review
The tone of this issue takes a little from Spurrier and a little from Adams, but it's no surprise that Waid does a great job with the Flash family after all, he helped to create it. Read Full Review
Bart Allen's ill-timed plans run into more roadblocks with the Legion of Darkseid. Waid & Cantwell lean into Allen's family ties with the writing. Georgiev & Herms give readers energetic art to speed through the conflict. This is definitively not a sprint on to where things go from here. Brace for the marathon. Read Full Review
The Flash #27 is another great collaboration by Mark Waid and Christopher Cantwell in a story that provides focus on two of DC's most popular speedsters. Read Full Review
Waid does “cosmic horror “ so much better than Spurrier on his best day. This issue is another funtastic KO chapter wherein Wally and Bart are battling Darkseid’s Legion in the past, with Omega Speed consuming the very Speed Force the speedsters rely upon. The crowning moment comes as the Legion alters Bart’s past, with Wally’s past up next for them. Can’t reiterate how great it is to have Waid back on The Flash, and writing Impulse like no one else can, while also giving us a Flashpoint crossover to boot!
This was very easy to understand and comprehensible even with Omega force and time/cosmic aspects, after re-reading Simon spurrier's Flash.
