The Flash, Vol. 1: Move Forward by Francis Manapul
3.0
First off, the art in this book is amazing. Not surprising, given that the book is written by the artists but still very noteworthy, it's definitely some of the best art of the new 52, at least in what I've read.
I wasn't too familiar with the characters going in but this volume has definitely made me a fan of Barry Allan. He's pretty adorable and decent and all the stuff a good hero should be.
The thing that really holds this volume back for me is the fact that I found it difficult to follow exactly what was going on at times. The last issues collected also had some rather exposition-heavy points as well. But the characters are there and it's clear that the creative team has some big ideas for the series, so I'm definitely going to be reading more when it comes out.
