    This was a good issue. Amazing art! Just love Deodatos work. I'm really intrigued to see where this mystery with the speed force is going. And what is up with the Stillness and Grodds involvement. Wally keeps being referred to as the criminal. Since Flash #800. Makes me wonder if Savatar is involved somehow. Feels like something he would say. Also, cool to see Barry at the end of the book.

    I like that the book is a meaty read. Feel like I get my monies worth. What did everyone else think?

    I've got no problem with how wordy this book is. If Spurrier was a bad writer I might, but a think his craft is OK, above average even, if a little unorthodox. And it is a reading medium after all.

    But I'm old, and my frame of reference may be a little skewed. Comics were VERY wordy in the 80s, IIRC.

    ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

    To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!

    Yeah, I legitimately appreciate how wordy it is. It takes me time to read it and it feels worth the price like it was back in the day. There are so many modern comics I finish so fast and even if they're good, there's a part of me goes, "That's it?" They packed so much content into older books.

    This book feels a bit like Morrisons Animal Man to me. And yeah the 80's comics were a lot more wordy than they have been the last 20 years or so.
