The Flash, Vol. 4: Reverse by Brian Buccellato
3.0

At the start of this volume I saw Flash running towards that 4 star.

A Interesting villain killing people? Yes

Kid Flash? YES.

Then you find out the reasoning of the Reverse Flash.

And everything just feels like it falls apart. Once a interesting villain really comes down to a selfish guy who wants something to change from the past and in doing so sacrifices all the good he could have in the present. The problem with this is it takes away the "scary" factor he had up until this point. He came off as whiny and boring.

Which sucked because the first half of this was firing on all cylinders.

Also the zero year tie in sucked too, as do most of the stories I've read in the New 52 that tie in to that.

So yeah, the art is still great, first half is fun, but the second half is boring/meh. So here we go again. Another 2.5-3 out of 5.
