The Flash has arrived in the 25th century to face down the villainous Eobard Thawne, the REVERSE-FLASH! But what Barry discovers isn’t a city in ruins, but a utopia filled with people who can use the Speed Force the same way he does. Can the Flash stop the sinister speedster when he’s surrounded by people who would die for him?!
Flash: Fastest Man Alive is more serialized than some of the other works out of the DC Giants but I don't mind as it's playing with a kind of streamlined and simplified timeline to engage in some really good stuff. These are all familiar characters but I can imagine them setting some kids imaginations alight or connecting them to the familiarity through the TV show. Simone has a solid voice for Barry here and gives him just enough personality but it's with Thawne that she really shines in getting to play with someone that's a lot more outgoing and charismatic. Clayton Henry and Marcelo Maiolo deliver a great looking book full of energy and I just the combination of the design and color to really give it as much life as it has. Read Full Review
Flash: Fastest Man Alive #4 was a solid continuation of the Reverse-Flash story Gail Simone is building. Seeing this Reverse-Flash story become a multi-part story is a nice change of pace compared to the other Digital-First comics that have been going with one-shot story structure. This gives the rivalry between Flash and Reverse-Flash greater importance as one issue isn't able to contain how big this battle is. Read Full Review
It was some really cool imagery seeing a future city dominated by speedsters, but something is just missing from the execution.
