The Flash Vol. 8: Flash War
by Joshua Williamson
The Flash War is here, and it's Wally and Barry at each other's throats.
This was building up for awhile. I kind of love that Wally has been having his memories slipping back into him. After the loss of not only his wife but kids, we need some freaking story for that. This isn't a simple wipe the slate clean. So when his memories return he is going crazy and every single time they come back into his head he begins to have these speed force mini explosions. Which help put Heroes in Crisis in a newer light for me. ON top of that we also have Barry trying his best to keep his family together but it's not so easy.
This is high end action packed adventure with a lot of cool moments. The art is sketchy as always but works well in action. Besides the last issue I enjoyed the art a lot. On top of that watching Wally get a lot of the spotlight was nice since he is easily my favorite Flash. The ending is also a big "OH SNAP" moment. The exposition dumps were a bit annoying at times though and the villains kind of came up a little on the disappointing side.
A 3.5 out of 5, almost a 4. I'll bump it to that because believe Flash is in a good place.
