I read this Rebirth Flash until just when the whole arc with August turning bad was about to end, and dropped the book (which means that my memories of him are that he was pretty much without redeemable qualities). The book kind of bored me and I've only glanced a few bits since then. I like Flash; but to be honest, Williamson's way of writing isn't for me me in that book, and I'm not really interested in Barry. I'm a Wally fan though. But if they ended doing something with August that wasn't turning him in another policeman that went evil, I dunno; I'm a sucker for stories about redemption when their characters are shown remorseful.
But for what you say, they really didn't do* a lot with him, so, eh... Maybe I'll wait more, and ask someone whenever I do decide to read it.
