I was a bit worried. The first major arc in this title is just okay. So I was wondering if this was worth my time and money. Luckily the second half made it very much so.

We start off with a plot where Flash is thrown into a mirror like world. Things are similar but not the same. He is considered a criminal and he lost his speed. I never understood why this seems to be a big thing people like to do. The whole fun part of Flash is his speed. Take that away the fights are dull.

However second half is so much more fun. Multiple stories of The Flash dealing with his rogues, taking them down, and also dealing more with Wally's personal life and learning his past. I really dug this and I really 'em liking my first taste of Wally, he's a fun character.

Overall second half is a blast, and good old flash fun. The first half is okay. For that it be closer to a 3.5 but the ending made me want book 2, so I'm going to go with a 4 because it's so damn fun at the end. New to flash? Pick this bad boy up for 16 bucks with 300+ pages.
