Bio: Life-long Marvel fan with a growing interest in great stories from other publishers. Favorite work these days includes anything Astro City, Captain America (especially since Cap's death), and Astonishing X-Men.

This was my POTW as well. Bendis succeeded outside his standard comfort zone, and I agree - this was an exceptional week. I gave 5's to ROK: Inhumans, Marvels Project, and Thor, as well, but this is the book that blew me away.
I didn't see the almost mystically revered Geoff Johns brilliance in this series. Sure - it brought back Barry Allen, but the villain was exactly who one might predict, the climax was only moderately exciting, and the wrap-up (at least the rogue panels) seemed unnecessary.
Still, I do look forward to seeing how Johns will juggle such a surfeit of Flashes, so I suppose the series did its job.
