REVIEW: Flash #15
Barry Allen a.k.a. The Flash has been through the wringer over the last few months: his best friend Doctor Elias Darwin has betrayed him, Barry was forced to fake his death, and the Rogues have returned. Also, Gorilla (or King) Grodd and his gorilla army invades Central City as Flash battles the Rogues. Could anything get worse for the speedster?
REVIEW: The Flash #0
Barry Allen is the fastest man alive. Protector of Central City, the Flash leads the way for the Silver Age in the comic book industry, until his heroic death in 1985. (You know, when death actually meant something.) For almost twenty years, the Scarlet Speedster has remained dead, one of the longest runs for a superhero. With the new 52 launching, it seems appropriate this Flash should lead the way again. What does the new era have in store for our resurrected hero?
REVIEW: The Flash #12
![]()
Barry Allen has been back for about two years now, resurrected from the dead after he sacrificed his life to save the multiverse in 1985. His second life has been pretty rough; he lost his mother, went back in time to rescue her only to reboot the entire DC Universe (see Flashpoint). Now, in this universe, he NEVER married Iris West, his sidekick and protege Wally is missing, and superheroes are public enemy number one.
Good going Barry.
REVIEW: The Flash #11
Patty Spivot’s still mourning Barry Allen’s death, so who’s this guy in the red pajamas that showed up in Keystone City? Why does Mick Rory have a fire in his belly, and what’s he got to prove? And will Leonard Snart give the new bartender, Al, the cold shoulder? All this and more, in The Flash #11, reviewed by Major Spoilers!
REVIEW: Flash #8

Flash has gone into the mystical Speed Force in an attempt to get back Iris West, but what/who else will the speedster find in the place where the present and future meet?
REVIEW: The Flash #7
Or – “Hey, Lines On Your Boots Really DO Make You Faster!”
Captain Cold was, historically, the first member of the Flash’s Rogue’s Gallery. Though technically the second villain Barry Allen ever faced (and frankly, the Turtle shouldn’t count) Leonard Snart evolved over the years into a mildly noble brute with an old-school mentality and a proudly retro cold gun. With a new, younger not-a-reboot version of the Flash rushing about, what has become of the Captain?
REVIEW: Seven Warriors #1

With the city under siege, it is up to seven warriors to escort the prince to safety. But danger lurks behind every curtain in the latest offering from BOOM! Studios.
