This was my first Flash comic and it was a fairly enjoyable one. 
 The story line was interesting and kind of unique. I liked the way time played into it. It was all very wibbly wobbly. Maybe this was naive of me but all I ever knew about the Flash was that his name is Barry Allen and he could run really fast. I was pleased to find out that his powers go much further than that. And that the wings on his head actually serve a purpose (they allow him to hear sounds when he's running) and weren't just weird decorations. 
 I wish there had been a little more time spent on the secondary characters. They were there and things were happening to them but none of them really grabbed my attention. I hope that changes or else this series could get kind of lonely. And as nice as Barry is I could easily see myself getting bored of just him. 
 The art was really neat as well. Some interesting stuff going on with panels that you don't normally see and I loved the different colour tones. I also appreciated that the women looked like real women and not beauty queens. 
 The Flash still isn't my favourite superhero but this comic has convinced me that I shouldn't totally dismiss him. I may continue to follow this particular series as it comes out in trade paperback form and I'm curious to go back and read Flashpoint (the event that led to The New 52). This collection is a great way for new readers to get acquainted with The Flash. It doesn't assume anything but the plot isn't dumbed down or boring either.
