SPOILERS!
Due to the wonders of Comixology, I've just finished this issue and I very much enjoyed it. I liked the voice Williamson gave Barry and didn't find the internal monologuing weighed down the book particularly (as it can do with a Snyder book, for instance).
I liked that it caught up with where we saw Barry and Wally in Rebirth and had a lovely little exchange.
Art wise, I felt like it was a little loose for my tastes at the beginning but tightened up as the book continued on.
I'm glad it touched on a few of the Watchmen points established in DCU Rebirth but glad that it was merely seed sowing and nothing more.
Overall, looking forward to the main series!
Final thoughts
- So, I'm interested in them properly establishing the situation with Wally (note, don't know if Titans Hunt has anything to do with this). The fact that he's wearing his Kid Flash gear but remembers all of his previous life and Barry says he needs a new costume because he's not KID Flash anymore makes me wonder about his situation and age. How did he recover these memories or pre-FP? How did he know about the events OF Flashpoint? Is he older, has he aged while in the speed force?
- Also, for clarity's sake, right at the beginning of new 52, Barry knew what he had done right, but he knew his memories would fade quickly and eventually his memories re-aligned with the new continuity. Correct?
