    Jay Garrick: The Flash #1 is an excellent follow up to Flashpoint Beyond and Stargirl: The Lost Children. This interpersonal tale sets up a retcon to expand upon The Flash family by bringing Jay Garricks daughter into the fold. Read Full Review

    Jay Garrick: The Flash #1 kicks off the miniseries with a wonderful combination of character moments and action. The family moments between Jay, Joan and Judy (say that three times fast!) are sweet and touching, and it will be fun watching Judy get adjusted to 2023 in future issues. Recommended.

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Oct 16, 2023

    Jay Garrick: The Flash #1 is good, old-fashioned, classic superhero storytelling with a modern twist. All the characters are instantly likable, the action is plentiful, and the mystery surrounding Judy's disappearance is perfectly introduced. Combined with Olortegui's eye-catching art, this comic is a winner.  Read Full Review

    The Flash that started it all gets a moment with his family as they reconnect after being lost in time in Jay Garrick: The Flash #1. Adams, Olortegui, and Guerrero craft an entertaining opener that pulls you in with all of its questions. It's a great start to a miniseries with growing pains and character drama that will test this Flash Family. Read Full Review

    While the premiere issue doesn't necessarily have a major hook to reel fans in, Jay Garrick and Flash fans will find a worthy spin-off series to run alongside one of the Justice Society's biggest members here. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson Oct 23, 2023

    Olortegui's art is a little more angular than I prefer, but the speed effects are solid and the story hook feels fresh, so I'm willing to hang in for the entire series. Read Full Review
