Preview
The Comic
Aside form a few pages of this comic, I enjoyed this story very much. IT was one of the stronger ones that I could get behind in a few issues. We have Flash entering Gorilla City with no memory, and he is interrupting Grodd's coronation.
Take out the 4 or 5 other pages that deal with the other stories going on in the book, and this is note perfect for me. You get the set up, learn some history about Gorilla Grodd and Gorilla City, and we get some nice action with a fight scene to top it off.
I'm putting my blinders on for the other pages, and am focusing on just that main story. Nice work.
The Art
Manapul being Manapul. Nicely done and very effective. Loved the title page sequence.
The Cover
Matches what happens on the inside of the book perfectly. And when you see a cover with a bunch of gorillas, how could you not be interested in what happens on the inside? And if you are a Flash fan, you know you want to know what happens on the inside.
Grades
Words: 9/10 - with blinders on for the other pages.
Pictures: 8/10
Recommend: Highly. Just please, let's not look at any page that doesn't involve a Gorilla.
Buy Next Issue: I'll be there.
