Previous Issues: The Flash

The Flash

Previous Issues


The Flash #8

Words: 5/10
Pictures: 6/10
Recommend: I don't see why I should. You don't need to develop the Speed Force, it is a pretty simple and clear concept.
Buy Next Issue: I am so close to just outright dropping this comic and picking up the issue later when I can find them for cheap. I'm definitely disappointed each issue with the price of admission.




The Flash #7

Words: 7/10
Pictures: 8/10
Recommend: Not for new readers. Too much happens that you need the previous issues to get.
Buy Next Issue: The Flash train keeps chugging along.



The Flash #6


Story by Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato

Words: 7/10
Pictures: 7/10
Recommend: You get caught up to speed from the previous issues if you missed them. Its worth a try to check in and see how the new Flash is in the 52 world if you haven't caught it before.
Buy Next Issue: I'll pop for it.

The Flash #5 


Story by Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato

Words: 6/10 - Blah.
Pictures: 6/10 - Blah blah.
Recommend: A skippable conclusion. Villain is still alive after everything is said and done and nothing of note is important for this issue. Not even the art is worth coming to it.
Buy Next Issue: Let's hope the next arc kicks off better than this one concluded.

The Flash #4 


story by Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato

Words: 7/10 - much better than previous issues.
Pictures: 8/10
Recommend: If this was the first issue that you read, you will be missing a few plot points and may wonder where the Flash is at, but if you have been with the comic since #1, then you will enjoy it.
Buy Next Issue: Let's see where this leads to!







The Flash #3 


Story by Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato

Words: 4/10
Pictures: 6/10
Recommend: Not really.
Buy Next Issue: I'm a Flash fan. I gotta buy it, but I probably won't like it much.






The Flash #2 


Story by Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato

Words: 6/10
Pictures: 6/10 - they looked good, but I couldn't get squat of story telling from it. The one saving grace was the "Speed Thought" pages.
Recommend: Not really. Not even for seasoned pros to the Flash books.
Buy Next Issue: Yes, hoping that some of what was in this issue will make sense in the overall picture.



The Flash #1


Story by Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato

Words: 8/10
Pictures: 9/10
Recommend: Run with it, you will like it more than that pun.
Buy Next Issue: Locked and loaded for the next one!
