Eh. It was just OK. Uneven stories and artwork. Surprisingly, my favorite stories involved Felicity Smoak and Caitlyn Snow at the end.

I am a massive fan of the Flash TV series and I recently met Grant Gustin (even spoke to him and took his autograph). Considering how this series is one of my most favorite TV series now, I had to read this comic book which continues the adventures of Cisco, Caitlyn and Barry from the season one. It was good but the artwork could have been better I guess as people here don't resemble those in the TV show. Some characters like Eddie Thawn were little different from the series I felt (he was mean towards Barry here). But I was happy to see Dr. Wells who is my favorite character from season one. Caitlyn and Cisco had more role in this book as we follow them on their own adventure at the end (with some backstory about Caitlyn too). There is no repetition here - these meta humans are mostly different from those on the TV series. If you like the TV series, this is a must read. But this is more like a companion and can't stand on its own I guess.

If you enjoy The Flash tv show you will probably enjoy this. I did. I haven't read any other Flash comics ever, so I can't really compare it quality or storywise, but it was a nice companion piece to the show. The stories were more coherent than the Arrow tie-in comics.

I enjoyed the writing. The characterization was on point. I only enjoyed some of art. I felt like the characters were barely recognizable and I wouldn't have minded as much but the this was supposed to based on the television show. Like there were certain things that made some of them recognizable i.e. Cisco's hair but I expected Barry to look more like Grant. The stories, however, were very true to the show.

For all The Flash lovers out there, it just seems like an extension of the TV series. Well, I am not a comic-book fan, but I too liked this from the makers/writers of the show. Though this may not appease the regular comics readers from what I have heard, but being a fan of the show only, anyone should love it!

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A fun addition to the TV series. Probably not interesting if you haven't watched it though. Some of the characters don't really look at all like the people in the show, but I guess that is OK.

It’s not a bad read if you’re a fan of the show, and it’s definitely a product of the show’s higher quality writing in the earlier seasons. However, as far as Flash comics go, you’d be far better off reading a non-show tie-in series.

Loved this! Could hear the TV show characters voices in my head throughout. So many funny quips. Have to search and see if there are plans for a sequel like this.

This was pretty fun and definitely way better than [b:Arrow Vol. 1|17671957|Arrow Vol. 1|Marc Guggenheim|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1375569077s/17671957.jpg|24670944] because it has FELICITY in it. She's not even a series regular on this show but THIS book acknowledged that she's obviously the best part of whatever show she happens to be on or adjacent to, unlike ARROW which mistakenly believes we're all hungry for more goddamn Flashback Island nonsense.

ahem, anyway, it's pretty fun. Not like... as fun as the TV show... but fine.
