Story 1 - Gorilla Grodd takes control of the Senate and declares war on Canada! Only the Flash is fast enough to stop him—but will he be enthralled by Grodd and his desire to create the perfect world instead? Story 2 - Barry Allen’s world is turned upside down when he learns that everything he knows is wrong—the Earth is flat, animals can talk, and the moon landings were a hoax! Can the Scarlet Speedster prove that science is still true—or have the conspiracy theorists been right all along?
The two-in-one aspect of this installment always gives me a bit of wariness because it's not the natural habitat of most comic writers these days. But there are those that can master it and work it well and Jeff Parker did that with two distinctly different and very fun short stories here that put the Flash to the rest. Both have some really great creativity to it in both the writing and artwork and made for a thoroughly enjoyable little experience as some one-off material not connected to a sprawling arc or something. The touch on the classic storytelling style alone continues to make me love these things. Read Full Review
This is some silver age level storytelling and it is a blast.
