It was a cool book. I learned a lot more about Wally as the Flash.

Wally faces off against his ex Magenta and its an interesting battle as we se her personality shift and some other power controlling her and its the Cult of Cicada, who think of Flash as some god and the leader Cicada wants to harness his powers for something and its a fun battle there and another one is vs Weather Wizard as we learn his origin and some interesting things with him and Wally defeats him. Also a fun mix up of children there haha. But the last one is in Iron heights and it sets up so many stuff for the future with Warden Wolfe and all. This volume was like setting up the future volumes but also showcases Wally and how his different villains challenge him in what ways adding layers of personal drama and all in the mix and the art just flows naturally which is cool. Also fun references with Barry.

Sometimes when I finish a book I find myself saying angrily "What the hell was that?!?". Meet The Flash: Blood Will Run. It's the most disjointed so-called graphic novel I've read in quite a while, apart from those dumps DC takes on their fans by putting out huge collections of "bests" which are totally unrelated to each other - half of which are from the 1940s and 50s, with characters who don't look anything like they're supposed to and spend all their time worrying about pulling "boners".

The Flash maybe had a baby with a dead girl, oh wait, maybe he didn't...yawn. And don't expect any sort of resolution here. It feels as if they left off the beginning AND the end!

Avoid.

Geoff Johns is probably better known for his work with the Green Lantern but I feel he has a far better handle on Wally West's Flash. He has a feel for the family drama that permeates every well drawn panel and makes each Rogue and Central City cop feel fully developed.
