Final Issue! A death in the Flash family!
Guggenheim writes a fantastic conclusion to the saga of Bart Allen, an issue that is told magnificently, maybe even perfectly. A reluctant hero embraces his legacy and accepts fate, paying the ultimate sacrifice. I highly recommend this issue for those who dropped this title, for those who love good writing and good art, and for those like me who remember Bart Allens first appearance as Impulse in Zero Hour, vibrating through a wall to escape a dinosaur. Again, I commend Guggenheim for the way he turned this title around and brought it to a very satisfying, but sad conclusion. I know I gave him a bad rap, but Bart Allen deserves praise for what he did in this issue. This is my Pick of the Week. Read Full Review
Flash #13 was an emotional read. I really enjoyed Guggenheim's efforts on this issue. I'll praise the writer and bash DC for this issue. Bart was a great Kid Flash and deserved better than this. Having said that, I'm glad that I get to add The Flash back to my list of titles that I read now that Wally is back. Read Full Review
Poor Robin. DC just doesnt want to give this kid a break. Read Full Review
Still, Dan Didio once said that every crisis should result in the death of a Flashso it looks like Bart is just the delayed victim of Infinite Crisis and that he was sacrificed in order to bring back Wally. With that in mind, maybe it is appropriate that his death is as much a travesty as the death of the Golden Age Superman, but that doesnt make for a good story or a worthwhile reading experience.

Shame on you DC. I never thought I would say those words about the creators of some of my favorite characters ever. Your careless way of putting out monthly funny books makes you no better than that hack in charge of Marvel editorial. Read Full Review
