The Flash is one of the few comics in the New 52 that manages to take DC's new house style and do something useful with it. Like the rest of the New 52, this book is hideously decompressed (with one of the plot lines, concerning people lost in the Speed Force, dating back to the previous volume), constantly action oriented, and full of cliffhangers. But the authors here manage to make it fun, especially when paired with some great artwork. They even manage to make use of some supporting characters, something that the New 52 has been pretty short on. 
 The result still feels like the candy equivalent of a superhero comic: not very filling. But it's tasty too.
