I stopped reading Flash for a bit because this run has lost its way. This volume is better than the last but I still feel like Joshua is missing something.

So Flash is learning about the other "Forces" like Strength and so on. And in doing so he's going around the world trying to unite them all so they can take on whatever is coming. At the same time two thieves are running around being annoying little shits killing people because they want Flash to suffer as always.

See the story here isn't bad. I actually like seeing Barry and Iris team up and take down baddies. The dialogue ranges from solid to WAY to much exposition. The villains range from pretty cool moments to corny as hell. The best thing that's happening is Commander Cold storyline in this book but it's the background noise of it all.

While not great the ending sets up what happens to Wally in heroes of crisis. For that alone I give it a bit higher. A 3 out of 5.
