Hey I thought it was good. The story didn't seem too original - betrayal, opposite political beliefs amongst best friends, proteges, romance taken away - but the writing kept me hooked. Joshua Williamson, whose writing I've become accustomed to in Nailbiter, writes some good heart-pumping fast-paced comics dialogue filled with all the standard cliffhangers and just enough flirtatious character tension to transcend the surrealism of a superhero comic book. I'm glad to be interested in DC again, a...

Boring old Barry.Not great, not terrible. Much like most Flash stories, it’s super-focused on whether a Flash is the fastest or if a villain is faster, not to mention the rest of the tired cliches - Barry’s late, he’s a fuckup at work, Speed Force Speed Force Speed Force!Dialogue is pretty comick-bookey, and while the crisis of Barry taking responsibility is in keeping with his B-grade Spider-Man status, the story itself is not terribly well-crafted. It’s probably as good a first supes story as

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. This was ridiculous. A city full of people with powers from the Speed Force? A bad guy with power from the Speed Force called "Godspeed"? Terrible!

[Read as single issues]The New 52 Flash didn't end very well, so it's nice to get a fresh take on the character as new writer Joshua Williamson takes over the title for Rebirth.When a Speed Force storm strikes Central City, the Flash suddenly has his hands full training speedsters, as well as the new Kid Flash; and when one of the new speedsters turns out to be a serial killer named Godspeed, things go from bad to worse.Williamson juggles a hell of a lot in this eight issue arc, and does a reall...

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed, but I think only because I wanted so badly for this to be good. I love the Flash TV show, and I especially love Barry on it, and I really, really want the Flash comic to be great. And this wasn't great. To be fair, it wasn't by any means bad, either, and my high hopes might be getting in my way. I have no complaints with how Barry is written, I just couldn't get interested in the story. It was a bit too predictable, and I admit that I didn't like that it didn...

Yawn! So lets keep this short I have other good series to go read! I'll cut to the chase and say I did not like this one! As I read through it, the story was mediocre and predictable; it was average though, so I wasn't hating it, till a new villain was introduced called Godspeed; and guess what ladies and gentlemen??? He's another evil speedster! (Slow Clap) I mean really, how many evil speedster villains is this now? Reverse Flash, Zoom, Black Racer, and now this! Isn't the Speedforce suppose t...

Do you like reading the word 'speed' five hundred times, then you're gonna love this one.We get it though, the Speedsters are speedy, from the speed force storm, yup and they're speedy, cool got it, oh no you're gonna remind us again how speedy the speedsters are from the speed force storm, okay Williamson thanks, got it! There are some problems with this volume, but for the most part i really loved this one and it turned into a pretty decent read overall. It is despite the 'speedyness' of it qu...

What was the New 52 Flash missing?Villains? nope, almost every major villain was used.Good Writer? nope, Francis Manapul had quite a good run.Artist? NOOO, Manapul an Booth drew Flash for the most part.What it was missing, was Barry Allen. What it was missing, was emotions. once in a while, a villain would appear, Barry would run, do some colorful stuff, he'd save the day, that's it. The hope that the name Barry Allen spread, was not there. The Flash was not an inspiring figure. THAT, is where t...

This one was so good!Barry must deal with his new friend August Heart becoming a speedster but before the reunion with Wally after Rebirth one shot and from there we have him training his friend and a whole lotta other speedsters including Meena and Avery but when a new villain Godspeed comes in and starts taking out people or their speed, Barry must find a way to stop this monstrosity named Godspeed and discover his origins and real identity and his connected to Barry but what he finds will cha...

Honestly, I don’t think Flash is for me – I simply cannot see what it is that some people love about this character. He runs fast, yellow lightning surrounds him, I fall asleep – it’s the same with every Flash book whoever the writer is! Flash is one of the blandest superheroes ever created and, six decades later, he’s still chasing after a personality! Flash Rebirth starts by recounting two of the biggest reveals from DC Universe Rebirth #1 – SPOILSIES if you haven’t read it – with Flash reunit...

You know what? I ended up really enjoying this. Kudos to Joshua for giving us a REAL Barry. Sorry but the New52 Barry wasn't cutting it. So the first 8 issues are all about tons of Speedsters coming into play. You got kids, adults, old people all getting struck by lighting and become speedsters just like Barry. The difference? They don't know how to use it. It all starts with Barry's friend getting his, and it's cool to see Barry have a partner helping him out. It's like Kid Flash, but not a kid...

Should've read what triggered the REBIRTH FIRST BUT Flash is my fav so a 4 < 3 also TALK ABT A PLOT TWIST

Some good and some illogical and some fully. World: I am sorry but I have to say it, Carmine Di Giandomenico's art is not for me. It's scratchy and rough not in a good way. The facial expressions are weird and the framing is meh. The book is just not pretty to look at. The world building is solid and interesting with ties to the past and also rebooting it for a new audience. The Wally stuff is good as is the tie into Flashpoint. Solid. Story: This is where the book falls apart. The premise of Go...

This one was a bigger win for me than I thought it would be!Rebirth hasn't been as awesome as I had hoped, but the new Flash title really held my interest. I'd already read (and liked) the Rebirth issue that kicked it all off, but I didn't know if Williamson could keep up the momentum.Turns out, he could! At least in my opinion.Flash's rogues are pretty important to his overall storyline, so the introduction of the brand new Godspeed (<--what fucking cool name, right?!) was the best part of this...

The art and coloring were fantastic. Di Giandominico does a bang up job of drawing speedsters. And while the coloring in the Rebirth issue was iffy looking, in the rest of the issues the coloring melded perfectly with the art.I liked the general premise of the story. What happens when a bunch of normal people get super-speed? Some will abuse those powers while others wouldn't even want them in the first place. It allows us to see a nice cross-section of humanity. I also liked seeing Barry get a

Flash takes on new villain Godspeed, assists the random Central City denizens - Avery and her 'speed-talking' is a hoot - suddenly blessed / cursed with super-speed, and even starts dating the knock-out Dr. Meena Dhawan (I'm intrigued by her) at S.T.A.R. Labs. All in a day's work for our scarlet speedster, right? Absolutely nothing could go worng here . . .Another solid entry in DC's Rebirth line. It kept me interested enough in the story-line that I read the book in one sitting with my morning

This was pure awesomeness!!I really enjoyed reading this graphic novel. Before I got my hands on a digital copy, I knew nothing about Flesh, his story and his mission, and even though this is not the first Flesh novel ever, I had no problem catching up on everything. I had a great time while reading and would recommend it to everyone who enjoys superhero stories. Now I just can't wait for the movie to come out (with my gorgeous Ezra MIller as Flesh)!

Full disclosure, I’m a big The Flash fan from way back and I really like Joshua Williamson’s writing on this so – I’m biased and I’m likely going to rate this high.That said, and here’s me like a screaming Beatles fan trying to nonetheless be objective, this really was a very cool GN.Collecting the first eight issues of the WAY COOL rebirth, Williamson takes off on what would become a four plus year run writing The Flash and he was out of the gate with a pseudo-reboot of the origin story, really...

There is a hint of goodness somewhere deep inside Josh WIlliamson's first volume of Flash. Something that is apparent in one scene of interaction between Barry Allen and the girl who just got speed powers and doesn't know what to do with herself. Unfortunately, those few nice character moments are entirely bogged down by Williamson's clunky writing overwhelmed by dull narration and exposition, a lethargic and trite story (who is not yet sick of the argument about whether heroes should kill the b...

Didn't care for the story or the art. The concept was great just not executed.
