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.

Unoriginal, but fun reset.

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.

This was not my favourite comic, but it was decent, with a decent plot and art. This one just didn't do it for me.

One of the better titles from Rebirth, this starts off quickly by introducing new speedsters, an original villain, and a very promising run from Williamson.
