There's only one thing I know about life.
I know some things happen by chance,
and somethings happen because we make them happen.
Barry Allen was once haunted by his past.
But when he became the Flash, he left the ghosts behind.
He found love. A Family. Friends.
Barry thought yesterday was behind him...
... but somebody wouldn't let him escape it.
When Barry came to me for help, I turned him away.
I'm not the hero of this story.
I'm a man who's been corrupted by his own unbearable pain, I'm a man who has too much blood on his hands to be called good.
I'm a man who had nothing to live for...
... until the day I met the Flash.

This is one of my favorite comic book stories, whether it reset DC or not. Best part was the re-imagining of old characters, but how you still knew them, and how Flash was constant. Thomas Wayne is my favorite part.

This is the first Flash comic that I have ever read, I know some about the flash because of TV and movies though. This comic felt a lot like a Batman comic which I read all the time. The art in this was very good, the story was amazing, and I loved the variety of characters in this as well as the different takes that there were for them. I would definitely read more Flash comics in the future, which is what the Year of Comics is supposed to be for!

Geoff Johns storytelling and Andy Kubert art style made this comic very enjoyable. I highly recommend to anyone that is a fan of The Flash.

I love pretty much any story involving time travel and the consequences that come with it. This story really shows Barry's character and I think Geoff Johns really pulled it off. This was a wonderfully fun read and a fantastic way to enter into the New 52. Also, the bit at the end with Bruce was great.

I cried. I watched the movie first and cried, then I read the comic and cried again. Beautiful writing with little additions of thought that bring even more emotion to the tale/

For such a hyped DC event, this was very cliched with time travel/ actions have consequences/ unite to save the day tropes.
It wasn't as cohesive as the DC animated movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. A lot of the backstory from the movie was missing, and is probably included in the Batman, Wonder Woman/ Aquaman issues of this series (which I did not read).
Ironic that the best aspect of a Flash comic was AU Batman; I look forward to reading his Flashpoint miniseries.
Several questions were unanswered:
1) Where is Martha Wayne?
2) Who was in the 3rd Kryptonian pod?
3) Why does Superman return to help? And how can he, at his weakest beat up Aquaman, at his best?
4) Why all the metas refuse to join without Batman, but he has no plan except ATTACK?
5) Why Enchantress is working for/with Wonder Woman?
6) Why is the Green Lantern before Hal still alive?
7) Why does Reverse Flash info-dump, instead of leaving Barry clueless?
8) What happened to Lois Lane?
10) Why was the timeline split into 3? And who was the character informing Flash?
I would recommend this only to hardcore DC fans; the rest should watch the movie instead.
