A quick and enjoyable read. I am reading another series of comics that maybe take place after flashpoint and it's different. I really don't know how the speed force it supposed to work or how time travel is supposed to work so that's something I'd like to be explained and remain stable.

I really like the Grodd one-shot, but other than that I wasn't a real big fan of these story arcs.

The last TBP in the Flashpoint Series books. Think I read the series in the wrong order, nevertheless I was able to connect the dots and fill the gaps. In this TBP we are first introduced to the story of Reverse - Flash who is the greatest enemy of The Flash and the story really holds good.
Then we are Introduced to Citizen Cold, not Captain Cold in this universe. Snort being Snort he tries to play a Hero, again Snort has a certain Moral compass and he still holds that here, although he does some gruesome things still it is Snort whom we are talking and that Story is interesting as well.
Legion of Doom comes into the picture and this story revolves majorly around Heatwave and Cyborg, we also see Plastic Man, Black Manta, Thinker and many others in this mini-series which deals with how all of them take their revenge on Cyborg for putting them behind the bars.
Then we see the King Grood who is bored to death for not having anyone to fight or rip their skull out and this storyline doesn't fit so much into the narrative I guess.
At last, we have Kid Flash who is struck in the 31st Century where Brainiac has occupied the world. Then we see how they pursue to change the past, the usual Flash thing and I wouldn't want to break your surprises there, Kid Flash reaches the Flash finally and gives his piece of advice, then the story ends here.
On the whole, this TBP is really good compared to the most and I would rate it next to the Batman TBP which I loved the most.

And that's it for Flashpoint! Overall I'm really happy I read all of it, obviously I enjoyed some stories more than others but it was a great way to learn more about the DC world AND get me excited about season 3 of The Flash (even more than I already was, that is). And I did discover some pretty awesome characters!
As for this specific volume...
Grodd of War: Not the most memorable issue ever, I've actually already forgotten most of it. I do find Grodd a more interesting character than I thought, and I won't be unhappy to see more of him in other series.
Kid Flash Lost: That. Was. AWESOME!!! And the reason why this volume gets four stars. Great run from start to finish, I really liked Bart Allen and I'm hoping they find a way to introduce him to the TVverse now!! And from what I understand he's in Teen Titans, which is great, because it's what I'll be reading next \o/
Legion of Doom: Quite gory, a bit too much for me, but oddly captivating, mainly because I was really interested in finding more about this version of Mick Rory. He's... a bit different from the Heatwave I know, but I did recognise some traits.
The Reverse Flash: Nice study of the character, and a good insight on the Flashpoint itself.
Citizen Cold: Not the best issue to finish on. I'm definitely not sold on this Captain Cold (that's what happens when you cast Wentworth Miller for the live action version though), and although the parts with the Rogues were interesting, it just wasn't the greatest. Would have much preferred ending it all with Kid Flash.
A few thoughts about the whole of Flashpoint while I'm at it:
- A lot of characters were missing, some surprisingly. I would have preferred to have a Black Canary storyline to that Canterbury Cricket thing, for instance.
- The treatment of female characters is... not always great. Especially when you add those missing characters mentioned above. I'm guessing they put a lot of them with Wonder Woman's furies, which explains why they don't get much spotlight but... yeah.
- Characters I want to see more of, and that I would love seeing in the TVmovieverse: Booster Gold, Kid Flash, Traci Thirteen (from the World of Flashpoint), Project Superman's Subject Zero now that I know who he is, Deadman.
- Characters that were not at all like I imagined them: Captain Cold, Heatwave,Jason
- 5 favourite stories (alongside the main one): Kid Flash Lost, Batman Knight of Vengeance, Lois Lane & the Resistance, World of Flashpoint, Abin Sur
- 5 least favourites: The Canterbury Cricket (seriously, as a rule, me and giant insects do not mix), The Secret Seven (I still... don't have a clue what that was about), Hal Jordan, Green Arrow Industries, Citizen Cold.

None of the stories feature Flash, and are in fact about the Flash villains and one story with Kid Flash. Okayish stories, only exception being the Reverse Flash one-shot who has quickly turned out to be one of the favourite and scariest villains for me.
Grodd of War - 2.5/5
Kid Flash Lost - 3/5
Legion of Doom - 2.5/5
Reverse Flash - 4/5
Citizen Cold - 3/5
Average Rating - 2.8/5, rounded off to 3 stars.
