I will go out on a limb (and I imagine it is a sturdy limb) and state that this might have showcased Ivan Reis' best work so far, and the best work of the series. I think I mentioned the over abundance of splash pages in the last issue, and it repeated itself in this issue. I gladly welcome it. When juggling so many pieces to this story, on earth and in space, that explosive segue in space with all the corps combined was beautiful. It culminates something so visually spectacular, it wouldn't matter how much of the story you've been following in the tie-ins. I have never wanted to own original art more than now. The architecture and design of the layouts, chaotic as they are, really showcased the magnitude and grandeur of what's being told.
Speaking of what is being told... the story. I realize that it has taken (only counting the main title), 7 issues to tell a few hours of one night! That's slow going, and lends credence to the common complaint that it needs to move along, finish off or move faster. The thing is, Johns is juggling so many things, that it will take time to zero in on the many aspects that is taking place on this deadly evening. Johns does do it expertly that he leads the reader through the twists and turns of emotional turmoil, dread and the undead. It marries so well to the artwork, that I imagine had anyone else done this, it might have been too much at one time, and it may feel it would move too slowly. That being said, the pace works just fine per issue (at least for me), but it would be just epic once it's put together. You take each issue and a couple of those tie ins and the result is greater than the sum of its parts.
Compare to Flash Rebirth (despite suffering scheduling), you truly get the feeling that Johns sees the full story. I wonder how selective he is in choosing which artist to work with to flesh out the story per issue. I would imagine it would be crucial to keep the pace filler free and momentum filled.
Art: 5 - Excellent
