AIPT - Christopher Franey
Feb 27, 2024Jay Garrick: The Flash #5 is another great installment showcasing Jay's newfound fatherhood as he fights to save his daughter from the evil that helped him get his speed. This miniseries has been a wonderful tour of the DCU with its guest stars while seamlessly adding continuity without tripping itself up. It is such an exciting issue that leaves a bittersweet feeling as we approach the conclusion. Read Full Review

Feb 27, 2024This story has been doing a great job of both fleshing out characters we already know and giving Judy what she needs to be a DCU mainstay going forward. Hopefully this mini and his Flash run continue to feed into what Adams has planned next. Read Full Review

Ok so the short version of the review is: Everything is great. Read this. If you like Jay at all or any Golden Age stuff this is a must read series. Longer version: Oh boy was this fun. Between the Golden Age team up with Jay and Mid-Nite I loved every second of that. The first opening battle was also great. The art really works for this series. Honestly Jay and Sandman both have artist that really work for the stories being told. Its great to see. Good work Olortegui! This cast of new villains that Adams has created are both fun and cool (robo-bear) and intimidating (Doctor Elemental). This story has everything you want and builds on Jay's history in a respectable and enjoyable way. Judy continues to be a great character and if Ada more

Nice continuous flow from a quality standpoint. A JSA member makes a surprise appearance, and the father-daughter bonding of Jay / Judy continues. The plot doesn't move much, but this was a solid read.
