Doctor Elemental's plan is revealed as Jay and Judy race to save Joan from being captured. But this plot has been in the making for decades... Can the Flash and the Boom get one step ahead, or is this a final race for the Garricks?!
Jay 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
This 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
This title should be required reading for lapsed DC fans who just want a fun comic that always zooms by too fast. Read Full Review
Jay Garrick: The Flash #5 picks up the best parts of this series through high octane, intense action, and profound character moments. Read Full Review
Jay Garrick: The Flash #5 delivers fun, action, adventure, drama, and excitement in short order. The story concept works, Jay and Judy's father/daughter chemistry is on-point, and Olortegui's art is energetic. Read Full Review
Garrick's latest series is one that manages to cross the finish line, but is missing a major spark to help it find its way into the Speed Force. Read Full Review
This series is amazing. I read every issue twice for the art work alone. Judy is a teenager done right IMO, a bit moody but not a complete little asshole. New characters that are older than her and should be more mature, like Trinity, are awful by comparison (hear that Tom?). The one liners Jay delivers feel like an 80's Arnold movie (and I mean that in a good way) and the friendship between Jay and Mid-nite is portrayed so well in their reminiscing and teamwork on the battlefield. Just damn fine writing. Jay Garrick the Flash is one of DC's best series right now and I'll be sad when it finishes. Oh, and one more thing...Ro-Bear rules!
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 char 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.
