This is the second installment in this Flash storyline, like the first it was exciting and interesting with very good artwork however I did prefer the first issue generally speaking

Thawne is a fucking dick. I love a villain I can actually hate. Imagine erasing your brother from existence and killing your parents because they're interfering with your studies. Or scrambling some girl's brains because she won't love you and that's AFTER erasing anyone else she might have loved before you. Not to mention killing Flash's mom.
Thawne can't erase Barry though and I like the reasoning. He gets knowledge of his powers because of Barry. If he were to erase Barry, he would never get that knowledge and would never become Reverse Flash. Basically, time-paradox. Reverse Flash can only exist if Barry Allen exists.
I just realized that this is the first DC book I've read without Batman in it. Holy shit, congratulations to Geoff Johns, somebody actually managed to make me care about characters outside the bat-verse.

my first experience with the flashpoint universe was from the animated version and although that whole storyline was awesome, I'm happy to see a richer exploration of possibilities with characters in the comic books.
the twist and turns introduced through the course of the story especially if you've already read the rebirth series allow for a better stepping of point to the start of flash point. rather than a boy missing his mom, we have a boy missing his mom who has many perhaps more mature reasons for doing what he does in the flash point

Okay. Didn't seem that related to the main story. Good to see Reverse Flash origin.
