The Flash

To be honest I have never read any flash story before this one. So, I am going into this comic with a fresh and open mind. Some fans might compare but I don't have that luxury. 
I actually enjoyed this book A LOT. The art was one of the best I've ever seen. I love the art style used, especially when going back and forth between flashbacks and present day. The story and the characters were good as well. Each was given a purpose and also clear motifs that you can follow. Hopefully the rest of the series follows suit with the first volume.

The Rogues are in revolt against their leader Captain Cold and the Flash has been thrown through time and space by the Speed Force leaving Central City without its protector.

3.5/5

Dang, what happened between the first volume and this one? 
The first volume was so focused and had one good main plotline. This volume was just a mess, it was trying to do so many things at once and it didn't work. I wish the comic just focused one plotline, the rogues or King Groot. Anyway, I will continue reading because the character interests me, and also the art is incredible.

"Struck by a bolt of lightning and doused in chemicals, Central City Police scientist Barry Allen was transformed into the Fastest Man Alive. But there are some things even the Flash can't outrun. After years spent on the hunt for vengeance, one of the Flash's oldest friends has returned, with new enemies hot on his trail -- an unstoppable mob that seems to grow quicker than the Flash can stop them. In the supermax prison called Iron heights, the Flash's most dangerous enemy plans his escape, dreams of revenge, and prepares to put the Flash on ice for good -- driven by a personal grudge the Flash can't see coming. And deep within the Flash himself, incredible new powers are ready to be unleashed -- unforeseen, unexplored abilities fueled by the same Speed Force that makes the Flash run, and which could be his greatest weapon -- or worst nightmare--"--P. [4] of cover, v. 1.

This story is not one that is easily collected in trade form. 5 issues (the Mob Rule arc) is too short for a trade, but expanding it to 8 issues made for a somewhat confusing cliffhanger. The art is gorgeous and Barry Allen's character is spot on, however, so I have high hopes for this series.

Pretty good volume. Grodd is as charming as ever, but Manapul’s art is gorgeous and saves the day.
