I found this to be quite difficult to get into. Sped up at the end which made it a bit easier to read.

This is the second volume of the early Wally West stories. They feel a little dated, but not in a distracting way. Overall this was a fun read. I always like stuff with the Reverse Flash, Professor Zoom.

Evocative of comic book storytelling of the era, Waid crafts a competent tale that also reads quickly. The art is strong, but knowing that Wieringo took over duties shortly after this arc’s completion its hard not to be a little disappointed.

This was really good. All of my comic book friends told me that if I wanted to read The Flash, I had to read The Return of Barry Allen, so guys, is it all downhill from here?

I enjoyed this story, and I did not see any of the surprises coming. Now I want to go backward and forward with this series to find out everything else that happens!

One thing that I find very overwhelming is that they keep alluding to things that happen in different comics and saying where you can find it. I get that it means people have to go out and read all the other comic series in the DC Universe, but it does suck if you don't want to.

What a bizarre start. Feel like very issue even remotely Flash related lately has just been recapping the same events over and over. This is a nice jumping on point for new readers so at least there's that. Wouldn't convince me to pick it up every two weeks though that's for sure. Not sure Barry learns the lesson he needs at the end even if it's a twist on what you expect to happen.
