Meet the new Flash. Same as the old Flash. 
 Barry Allen gets the New 52 reboot treatment here, and I gotta admit that as a newbie inspired to pick up Flash comics thanks to the TV show, it's nice to get a story featuring just one speedster as the hero rather than small army of them I found in Rebirth. I also appreciated feeling like I didn't have to read Wikipedia entries to learn decades of history. 
 Even though it's a streamlined story that goes back to the relatively early days of Barry as Flash, it jumps into the deep end of the pool fairly quickly as far as bringing in familiar characters with new twists as well as digging right into the more timey-wimey aspects of the Flash universe. Frankly, I could have done with a bit more of getting to know Barry as a character, and the gimmick of having an old friend come back as a new villain with accompanying Flash-backs (Flash-backs! Get it??) just didn't do much to help with that. 
 I really liked the art, and I'm interested in seeing where they go with this. But overall it just felt like they dumped readers into this revamped version without bothering to tell us exactly why we should care about it.
