As Barry Allen plunges deeper into the Nightmare Realm, he’s confronted with his biggest fears and experiences some of the most shocking events that took place before his return! Barry continues to run free of the terror, but something’s gaining on him…
Knight Terrors: The Flash #2 is unique among the tie-ins. The Flash keeps running for Wally until the final page. Even when I know it's a bad dream, that it isn't actually happening, it's incredibly emotional and difficult to read. We've seen what Barry will do for his family, even if he has to tear himself apart. Read Full Review
Knight Terrors: The Flash #2 is an incredible issue that will stay with the reader for a very long time. Read Full Review
This is one of the most disturbing Flash stories I've seen in a while, building to a genuinely horrific conclusion that feels like something right out of Junji Ito until we're snapped back to reality in a perfect way and the Flashes join the main fight once more. The first issue of this mini was just good, but Paknadel brings it to a close in a truly great way. Read Full Review
Knight Terrors - Flash #2and the tie-in and the limited series as a whole is an interesting addition to the Knight Terror collection, but it seems like, given more issues could have been a more in-depth look at what makes Barry tick as a person. Interestingly, unlike other series installments, Barry cannot break out of the nightmare alone or come away with some deeper understanding of himself or his growth as a character. Not that this is a bad thing, as while dreams and nightmares can spur personal growth, it doesn't happen every time, sometimes a nightmare is just a nightmare. Read Full Review
Knight Terrors: The Flash paints a sincerely nightmarish vision that could only be imagined from a speedster's point of view. While it would be fair to compare the ultimate irony of this story to this summer's blockbuster flop The Flash, writer Alex Paknadel distills that concept into a much more streamlined tale and artists Daniel Bayliss and Tom Derenick cast Barry's transformation in a far more terrifying light.

Knight Terrors: The Flash #2 takes the horror Barry is living in up to eleven, and while he's never genuinely aware he's in a nightmare, you'll feel his spiral. A little less unnerving and weird than the first issue, this second issue delivers significant action that suits a climax as you'll ponder how he'll get out of this one. Read Full Review
Knight Terrors: The Flash #2 ends Barry Allen's nightmare run with frustration, body horror, and desperate acts. Paknadel's story reads as a frustrating nightmare rather than a scary one, and Barry's body horror change is interesting but doesn't match the story. Read Full Review
This is best reviewed as a short story about Flash on its own. Almost like an elseworlds 2 parter. This event it is apart of is close to pointless, and this story doesnt really help anything with that.
So why the 9/10? Well as a story on its own it is great. If you want a movie-equse horror story about Flash this is it. The crazy part is Barry loses to his nightmare. We mostly see heroes win, but Barry only survives from outside intervention. It is just a decent into madness and I was there for every moment of it. More of the stories should have been like this if they wanted to make insomnia scary. So many got out too easy. Only heroes like Hal should have escaped easily. This is how most should have gone, the decent into terror more
Really cool, really emotional, really creepy. These two issues were very solid, even if their themes were not new to Flash books.
