This was awesome. A very good start.

This book had a swarm of speedsters and surprisingly, it was well executed. The perfect way to introduce new heroes and villains to the story and not making it feel flat.

A solid start to Williamson's run on the scarlet speedster. Godspeed is such a cool design. The art is super stylized, i really like it with the flash, but I know it's an acquired taste.

It amazes me how good this was. I mean you can still see, that it is written to be likable for younger teens and kids, but it's still very well written with interesting character development, believable motivations and understandable logical behavior from all of the characters. The art is solid.

I love this book, this is what started my love for dc last year.

First off the story is amazing, I love Godspeed, I love how he’s written and how eager he is to finding the killer of his bro that he kills the guy he ‘thinks’ killed his bro but in the end it wasn’t that guy. The art is just.. MUAH, I want to go to carmine di giandomenico and kiss him I love his art.

But some flaws for me was Meena dying really early in the story, I felt they could have build up her character more and The start of the book was pretty confusing for me since when I read it I was still just starting dc.

Overall really good book

An edited review of this book will come sooner or later, this last one was pretty bad.

Three stars for the Wally Wests alone. I had problems with this storyline during original publication, and even more reading it all at once. The entire reason for Godspeed going bananas is convoluted at best, and mostly just lazy writing. Mena was cool, but apparently set up to be a fridge girl since Iris is too important for that.

Barry's reunion with OG Wally is pretty much all that saves this. Okay, and new Wally's tiny freckles.
