I'm a big Spurrier fan, and I agree with you on almost every particular. This series had potential, and the art has been great, but the story is (ironically) going nowhere fast. Thinking of dropping it, myself.
Jai West is going to try to rescue Max Mercury from the horrific remains of Timepoint, now a world overrun by time-gobbling monsters, and he's got surprising backup--the shadowy bubble gum-chewing figure who goes by the name Inspector Pilgrim!
The Flash #7 catches everyone up. The book has moved at such a speed lately that it has been hard to hang on to, so this issue explains those left behind. Wally’s absence from the picture allows exploration of some of the neglected figures in the series, such as Barry and the other speedsters. Read Full Review
The Flash #7 may frustrate some readers with increasingly idiosyncratic plot lines and plenty of strange science, but those who appreciate those genre elements are bound to have a good time. Read Full Review
The Flash #7 finally answers some questions and slows down. Those who dropped off with the new direction will find a much needed reprieve and those who stayed on will appreciate that they did. Read Full Review
Ramon Perez does a good job capturing the incredibly surreal nature of the world the characters find themselves in, but this entire run continues to feel like a very odd match for the property. Read Full Review
The Flash #7 brings much-needed clarity to a hyper-confusing storyline. Clarity is always a good thing, but unfortunately, that clarity reveals Spurrier's whole concept is borrowed from an older, better story, which may lead readers to believe they've wasted their time struggling with Spurrier's needless complication.

Nice, kinetic, energetic guest artwork combined with a long-overdue explanation of what’s been going on with the Speed Force leads to the first truly enjoyable issue of this series.
This one started off pretty weird with Barry and Lina. I see how Linda's disconnections could be interesting, but I feel that Spurrier still isn't executing it in the best way. This issue only really picked up for me when the Speed Force situation was being explained to Max and Bart. It also doesn't help that I wasn't super into Pérez's art, especially with how contrasting it is to Mike Deodato Jr.'s.
The first issue of the run I didn’t want to throw away. But I still have no idea what’s going on.
I think I'm dropping this series. Simon Spurrier is trying to put in crazy new concepts, but it just comes off as clunky. He talks about Arc Angles, the quantum perceptions of the 4th dimension's imperceivable ending of the future, the timepoints, fake causality, dimensional weavers, tame cosmic spider, time quakes, dimensional breakages, extra temporal, conscious hyperogemetries, where infinity overlaps zero.
I commend Simon Spurrier for again taking a big risk and introducing quantum mechanics in a comic book about a guy running fast, but it seems that Simon Spurrier is trying to show off that he's smart. He's one of the writers that doesnt gel with me, and I'm probably in the minority but I didnt enjoy this series. Probably go more
As I said in the previous issue, this is where the ride should stop for most people. The first arc had its end and it was lame nonsense with no impact. This just feels like stagnation with some poor characterization around the edges.
Just drop this. Spurrier has no idea what he is doing besides being pretentious. He is not a great writer.
