Wally slowly becoming my favorite Flash. I really dug Jay from Earth 2 but now I'm just really getting into Wally's life. I mean to be fair he's had like 20 years of growing up and that's great, but you really get to know him in John's run.

So this book has a lot of great individual stories. The best ones being Captain Cold's origins, new the new rogues, and Jay telling Wally what's happening to his wife. All emotional scenes, a few surprises that made me go "Whoa" and get to see the beginning of zoom. All in all a lot of exciting things building up in this one.

I really am 50/50 on the art. It's solid in some parts, sometimes feel dated or stiff, other times just amazed. I also have a issue with exposition sometimes, a little TOO much with John at times but when he gets the dialog rolling it does turn in his favor.

If you want a far more interesting Flash than Barry I'd suggest reading this run. It's proving to be very entertaining. Can't wait to read Volume 3 now.
