kbelcher1992's review against another edition

Definitely enjoyed it and getting a more in depth view of the world of the flash. However Barry is still an idiot at times which is both entertaining but also frustrating.

It's always great seeing all the Rogues in one comic and we also got Grodd in this volume. Plus, Barry Allen is simply put one of the most likeable DC heroes. A bit humorous, a bit humble and filled with enough hope for an entire justice league.

Slightly better than Vol 1, but still all over the place and not particularly compelling.

It’s been awhile since I read the first volume of this run, but this second volume was very good which is a surprise as so much of the New 52 is terrible. This story went really well.
We start out with the Kingdom of Apes and Grodd which was pretty stupid really and then we get back to Central City (it’s a hard cut and not a real transition) and the city has changed and the Flash is harassed now. He goes undercover and finds his way to a villains bar. We are introduced to the Rogues. I have to say that they are entertaining and decent villains. I had fun with this and I thought it was a good story. I’m actually excited to read the next one. I have to get it quick before the library gets rid of it. The first of the year, they ax a whole lot of old titles. It’s pretty brutal.
Barry is fast as ever and fun here. The last chapter seemed to be left on a stupid cliff hanger with Grodd again which doesn’t please me. We also get some weird flashback to Barry’s dad that I didn’t think was really needed, but if the Rogues stay around, then I’m excited for more. This worked really well.

I received a free copy through Goodreads First Reads.
The Flash has always been a favorite comic series of mine, and this volume does not disappoint. The New 52 of this series is really taking off. The illustrations throughout are beautifully, and I love the clean lines. Flash goes through so many different predicaments, and they had me on edge the entire time. I love the action throughout and the real depth in Flash. The parallels of his superhero life with his normal human feelings is spun very well. The only negative I have is that it got a little slow as far as pacing goes in a few parts, but the action is well worth the wait.

Slightly better than the first volume, but I couldn't tell you the plot for the life of me.
