I’m really glad we got to see Godspeed in this issue, even if it was at the end. The fact that he was intangible was really cool. I knew that Avery would be one of the only ones to survive the attack because they gave her a last name. I am curious what happened to Meena considering all the other Speedsters are dead and Meena lost her clothes.

Good theory on Godspeed being his brother.

If there was a body maybe it was time echo.Medowns78https://www.blogger.com/profile/16988429461642682161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-79493798442312330592016-08-25T05:43:01.994-04:002016-08-25T05:43:01.994-04:00This wally will be leaving soon to join teen titan...This wally will be leaving soon to join teen titans, so maybe it is a play off the whole Bar Tor deal where he is a villain in the future...but he's killed guys which seems harsh here. If it is that, melena is involved in turning him to the dark side...why she is training him on the sly.<br /><br />I hope the reveal is good.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-52566457752394371852016-08-24T22:31:00.218-04:002016-08-24T22:31:00.218-04:00Jim,

I also have to side on the fact that this art is really great. I really like the line work by this group. It feels less like Carmen's Manga like style and more like a comic book superhero style. I see a little bit of Mark Bagley's style in the superhero rendering. It also feel the backgrounds have a style similar to what Sean Murphy does with giving the larger scenes a seens of scope. <br /><br />As for the story I have to say the pacing was really good for a "Penultimate issue." I have to say it has been interesting to feel the ANTICIPAAAAAATION for the identy of "Godspeed". If I have a vote I think it's a future version on the Black Wally West. I think it is a way for them to get rid of this Wally and bring the old Wally back into the book in a few months. I mean hes' the other fastest man alive and could be in two books. Titans and Flash. But that's just my thought. The only thing I've found in this story that is a beating a dead horse is August's persistant "Barry you need to do your day job." <br /><br />I feel as though the whole relationship with Meena is just background drama like you see in a typical tv drama and that it's just a Mcguffin to make us think the main bad dude is Meena. We all know that Barry and Iris go togther like Tony and Tweety, R2 and C3po, Lois and Clark. So you know that Meena and Barry's days are number. <br /><br />My score is closer to a 7.5 or 8 and I am really looking forwar to next issue. <br /> Medowns78https://www.blogger.com/profile/16988429461642682161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-81787546486035039172016-08-24T22:10:39.580-04:002016-08-24T22:10:39.580-04:00First off, double QP all the way!!!

The beginning recap did hamper things imo, but now everything has stalled. The pacing of the entire series is off.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-29465177285860377512016-08-24T20:34:30.207-04:002016-08-24T20:34:30.207-04:00I guess this is set up week?

After #4, Flash was on my "one more shot till your dropped" list and I enjoyed the character moments here enough to pick up #6. Bound to get some answers next time, right? I'm a bit worried that #6 will be a rush of story, though. Maybe they shouldn't have spent so much time recapping the Rebirth Special at the beginning of this run and an issue like this wouldn't feel like so much fluff? I don't know. Maybe I'm talking myself out of liking this issue as I type. Maybe I don't know what I want anymore? Why is a comic about the fastest man alive so damn slow? Do I want a Big Mac meal or a Double QP? Maybe I should just stop reading comics and save for retirement.

It just felt like setup for something crazy next issue.

Lucky for me your reviews help me understand what is happening (that is actually how I first found your site during New52).<br /><br />As soon as Barry told Meena his identity, you figure she is either going to die or go bad. Which is a shame IMO because it would be really cool to have a female speedster character for a while. <br /><br />I haven't read Titans yet this week, but I am also curious why Barry never mentions the other Wally since he basically brought him back into the universe? When he went to see Iris at the cafe I was half hoping it was Wally he was going to meet.<br /><br />I guess next week is the conclusion and we find out Godspeed's identity, I hope it is worth the wait!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584522325481558471noreply@blogger.com
