Geoff Johns has repeatedly said that The Flash (and Green Lantern) should be heroes as preeminent as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. And as it appears so far, he is succeeding in raising Barry Allen to that level with this book. In this issue, we learn why Barry Allen is so important to the DCU. Without him, there wouldn't be any other speedsters. Barry Allen is the catalyst for Jay, Wally, Bart, and all others who tap into the speed force. Barry Allen is the speed force. Every step he takes generates the power for the others to use.
This issue also illustrated the great antagonism that exists between Barry and Prof. Zoom. It shows how they are literally polar opposites. It aptly compares the relationship to that of Batman and the Joker. Order vs. Chaos. Positive vs. Negative.
I can see this book not being for everyone. It makes use of a lot of Flash history, extending back to Mark Waid's run on the title in the 90's up through now. But what its doing for Barry Allen, and the Flash family in general, is too important to be missed. Johns is truly redefining Barry, and making him one of the most important people in the DC universe.
And as for Ethan Van Sciver, the fact that he's probably my favorite artist in comics might skew my rating for him, but just look at that Wally West splash page. That right there earns him a 5 from me.
