This review contains spoilers, click here to read
Hands down, the pick of the week. After one issue, I'm on board for the long haul. The art and writing were both perfect. On art duties Manapul is a revelation. The Flash is a character that requires a specific type of artist. An artist that can convey the character's speed in both action and overall storytelling. I have always felt Scott Kolins was the perfect artist for the Flash because, although his art is not clean, he conveys speed like no other but guess what? Manapul in one issue has outdone him. Manapul's art in this issue is clean, beautiful, and conveys pure speed whenever the Flash is on the page. Manapul's art was so good that I haven't even mentioned Geoff Johns yet, but now I will discuss Johns' work on this issue. A lot of the story here is stage setting for the series but surprising this didn't bother me because the issue never dragged, nor did any pages feel unnecessary. There were two moments in this issue that really stood out for me. The first was Barry's last minute save of a young boy. It was a little corny but its the kind of moment that Johns does well and Manapul absolutely nailed it. Despite how great this moment was, the introduction of Commander Cold and the rest of the "good rogues" from the 25th century was the kind of moment that reminded me why I love comics. The idea is absurd on the surface but its also so fun and cool that I can only giggle with joy when I think about it. Johns is the master of these kind of moments. Introducing, an alternate version of the Rogues just makes perfect sense. The Rogues are one of the strongest aspects of Johns' Flash work so why not give him two versions of the characters to write. My recommendation is clear, read this issue.
Story: 4 - Very Good
