everything is happening a little to fast (i now, irony haha)
i love what manapul did over the last 7 month with the flash. the stories are fun, the art is amazing and both work together in a way that i haven't seen in a long time. and all this is also true for this issue, but there is one thing that starts to bother me since the last 2-3 issues:
everything is happening a little to fast. concepts like berry's "speed thinking" or in the "time cracks" he produced are introduced and seem to be solved or abandoned one issue later. and the same seems to be true for his villains. i would like to see manapul stay a little longer with one aspect and really get into it (because they are interesting). but maybe he is building towards something that i just don't see yet.
however, at the same time the fast pacing of the book is also one aspect of what makes it so much fun. therefore, my critique here is just a minor one that started to bother me a little while reading this issue.
the art is still amazing (especially his two-page spreads) and i totally love this "explorer" or "science" direction manapul and buccelato are going with the flash.
i said it in an another review, but the flash is the last dc book i'm still on and as it seems i will stay on for a while.
Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 5 - Excellent

you don’t like batman or batman & robin?
