(B) 75% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: It sees villains through a lens of inadequacy and delusion, who, by indiscriminate bloodshed, seek satiation of desire.

I think I'm starting to see the pattern in these "Flashpoint" books - DC are marrying up their big hitters with their small fry to round out these books. The "Flashpoint: Batman" book had little to do with Batman while "Flashpoint: The Flash" has very little to do with the Flash.I read this expecting a book about the Flash, a superhero I've never read before, but ended up reading about someone called the "Reverse Flash" (which sounds vaguely sexual), a laughable "villain" called "Citizen Cold" w...

And that's it for Flashpoint! Overall I'm really happy I read all of it, obviously I enjoyed some stories more than others but it was a great way to learn more about the DC world AND get me excited about season 3 of The Flash (even more than I already was, that is). And I did discover some pretty awesome characters!As for this specific volume...Grodd of War: Not the most memorable issue ever, I've actually already forgotten most of it. I do find Grodd a more interesting character than I thought,...

Truthfully I only enjoyed Bart's section. The others weren't really that interesting for me.

The blandest and least interesting parts of Flashpoint!

I will confess I watched "The Flashpoint Paradox" Justice League movie prior to reading this, and let me tell you, I was blown away at how dark this story arc is. This is like "What If?" on steroids.The movie goes into some explanations I won't get into, and I tried to forget I knew that, because I haven't read The Flash, Vol. 2: The Road to Flashpoint yet, which I think is probably the backstory. All I know is, I don't want this life for any of the DC characters I know and love. One of the inte...

This was fine. Not great but decent. These Flashpoint tie-ins are getting tiresome.

One of my least favorite of the Flashpoint books that came out.

None of the stories feature Flash, and are in fact about the Flash villains and one story with Kid Flash. Okayish stories, only exception being the Reverse Flash one-shot who has quickly turned out to be one of the favourite and scariest villains for me.Grodd of War - 2.5/5Kid Flash Lost - 3/5Legion of Doom - 2.5/5Reverse Flash - 4/5Citizen Cold - 3/5Average Rating - 2.8/5, rounded off to 3 stars.

The last TBP in the Flashpoint Series books. Think I read the series in the wrong order, nevertheless I was able to connect the dots and fill the gaps. In this TBP we are first introduced to the story of Reverse - Flash who is the greatest enemy of The Flash and the story really holds good.Then we are Introduced to Citizen Cold, not Captain Cold in this universe. Snort being Snort he tries to play a Hero, again Snort has a certain Moral compass and he still holds that here, although he does some...

Opening this volume is the Reverse Flash one-shot, and it’s really quite odd. Written from the point of view of Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, it tells a pseudo-origin of the character and how he came to be, then tries to talk about how he changed Barry Allen’s life for the worse. However, if you’ve not been reading the earlier Flash series, then this probably won’t make any sense to you anyway. I can see people picking this up after seeing Reverse Flash in the main Flashpoint series, but I c...

Oh boy. Was this EVER terrible. *There will be spoilers in this review*I'm giving this a two star rating because the Citizen Cold Story was okay (1 star) and the Kid Flash story was okay (another star). But everything in between these two stories is Buh-Rue-Tall!!! Brutal!This collection starts off with a recap of what The Reverse Flash contributed to getting the DCU into this Flashpoint mess. You see, he's the one that killed Barry Allen's mother all those years ago, setting up the domino effec...

I found this very violent, and very disjointed. Granted, I am always slow to understand time travel stories, but something about it seemed forced to me. As Flashpoint revolves completely around the Flash, I expected the volume to be stronger. It fell flat somehow.

In 2011, every DC Comics fan was told of a major event happening in that a massive reboot of the entire DC Universe was going to occur and that it would all be in part to a storyline guided by the character of Barry Allen/The Flash. With the last major story having been the Blackest Night and the Brightest Day, Flashpoint would be the last actual story of the Post-Crisis DC Universe. All in part to the machinations of the Flash.Barry Allen finds the world that he had known before has changed fro...

The main FLASHPOINTbook was awesome.The companion series meant to elaborate on / cash in onthe main story line.These stories are progressivelymore and more half assed and derivative.What in the FLASHPOINTcomic is a clever and innovativeway of seeinga long standing characterbecomes pedanticupon reviewing in the hands of a less giftedwriter. another example of a clever idea killed by corporate greed.

This contains the 'Reverse Flash' one shot which is a must read for understanding Flashpoint storyline.. Quite good...Then, an one shot of Grodd, which is good as well...But then, we see Citizen Cold, Kid Flash and Legion of Doom story arcs which are average

The whole Flashpoint arc including the tie-ins, until this moment are one of the best stories of DC Comics ever made! The story divided the Multiverse in two and create The New 52 arcs. The only way to really enjoy the whole world of Flashpoint is reading the central arc and the tie-ins in the reading order that you can check online. 61 issues that redefine the evolutionof comtemporary comics for DC.

Oof.... Barry ran too fast this time. Obviously, one of the best Flash comics of all time. Wonder Woman vs Aquaman, Thomas Wayne Batman and Superman is a scrawny kid! Needless to say, the story from the beginning was very intriguing and other than that, it's a Flash Comic Book, people! It's obviously the best. The storyline was really cool, Nora Allen's storyline is one of the most emotional I have read in a very very long time. What more?Well..... Run Barry...Run!

A quick and enjoyable read. I am reading another series of comics that maybe take place after flashpoint and it's different. I really don't know how the speed force it supposed to work or how time travel is supposed to work so that's something I'd like to be explained and remain stable.

There's too much violence, blood and gore in this one. And Grodd. *shrugs*
