    I'm not a big fan of Williamson's flash. Yeah sure there very some good issues and some good ideas along the way, especially in the beginning(i still think the first 20 issues were pretty good),but after some time, i started to see some flaws, that diminished my enjoyment out of the book, and the one that disturbed me the most , was how it seemed that Barry just can't learn from his mistakes . IMO that made all of it seems very repetitive, and although there were other things I did not like(plot holes, unoriginality, lack of depth, sometimes bad characterization ) that was the thing that killed the run for me.

    Reading this issue and seeing Barry forgive Reverse flash, letting himself FINALLY move forward, letting himself be the flash, felt really, really pleasing. I like that direction for the character. Although i did not like the way he did for obvious really, I don't care, I got what I wanted.


    Yeah the issue isn't perfect, after that moment, which was great, but not that big part of the issue, most of it felt like checklist of things that Williamson just had to show is(expect the thing with Twane's family, i don't know what that was).
    The end when Barry see the ghost(i guess?) of his mom, although a little bit corny, was a good ending to one very long run.


    Porter is not my favorite artist, but the art here is pretty good. IMO he really shines when he draws action and dynamic poses.


    Not sure that every of Williamson's subplots got resolved, but overall a fine ending, it really made me believe that better things are coming.
