You know what? I ended up really enjoying this. Kudos to Joshua for giving us a REAL Barry. Sorry but the New52 Barry wasn't cutting it.

So the first 8 issues are all about tons of Speedsters coming into play. You got kids, adults, old people all getting struck by lighting and become speedsters just like Barry. The difference? They don't know how to use it.

It all starts with Barry's friend getting his, and it's cool to see Barry have a partner helping him out. It's like Kid Flash, but not a kid, a grown adult. Yet as the story progresses some big revelations happen.

I will be honest the twist I didn't love. Very easy to see coming, I felt they could have grown that character out more. Also the name Godspeed felt a little iffy to me. I hated it to be honest. I mean it's superheroes so sometimes names don't work, that was one of em.

The goods really come from great cast of characters. Everyone has fun dialog and I enjoyed that. The art, while sketchy, is still pretty damn good. Like every speedster looking Super Saiyan 2 with the lighting around them. The ending was solid and made me want more for the future. Oh, did I mention Barry is back to being a actual fun character? Yep!

Overall this is a real solid start. I'd go with a 3.5 but closer to a 4 than a 3. Hope to see more!
