Sorry to those who were anxious to read the Flash earlier today and yesterday. But I have finally posted it and it is another great issue by Zoom. An instant jaw-dropper.
Enjoy!

This was an enjoyable issue. Talk about action! It was practically non-stop from beginning to end. Also thought there was a nice take on many of the rogue's. What I really found interesting was the back up story, though. The diary has reared its head! And the mystery of Barry's power continues... Keep up the good work!  |

Zoom writes some of the best all-out action stories ever. He is always doing better on each subsequent issue.
Also, thanks for the comment on the back-up. If it seemed short, I just wanted to tell you that it was just an introduction to the main players in it. But Barry will not appear at all in the backup because his adventures take place in the main story.

Great cover, Ramon! And also, a great backup story from my editor, speeddemon.
I always thought the Flash's enemy were one of the most colorful and dangerous groups in the DCU, even if they are ridiculed or sometimes used in the wrong way, they are not all particularly "evil". They are a powerful famili, like Geoff Johns wrote (Don't remember the actual words, but it was something like this. It is on the first issue of the Rogue War) "They say that every hero is as strong as the combined forces of his villians. Meaning that the Flash is stronger than the whole Justice League, go on, pick the era." . In my run through this title, I plan to raise the rogue into their full potential, without taking the spotlight from or hero, Barry Allen, of course!
PS: There's a mistake in the story I didn't noticed until now. It should say The Golden Flash Memorial Park, not the one that is there.
Thanks for reading and leaving a comment!

I really enjoyed this issue. The Flash is one of my favorite characters, and I'm glad the character is being done justice with an action packed story and well written rogues (which is important since his rogues are some of the best villains in comics and really reflect on the Flash himself). This was a great start to the Rogue State story.
And Ramon's cover looks awesome as usual.

This issue definitely put more emphasis on action and worked better with it's straight forward approach. The writing appears to be getting better but there were quiet a few tenses issues which take away from the story somewhat.
I loved the introduction of you-know-who but...then I got confused at the end when you said her name was Lisa Star?
The back-up tale- Not quiet sure whats going on there?
Overall I can tell that everyone involved is working hard to make this a great book so I will be back to check it out next month.

I'll make sure to go through the issue even closer to make sure it will be better. i wouldn't want to lose a reader.  As for you-know-who, nobody knows her true identity yet and right now that is the name she has for herself. The back-up may seem confusing because that is kind of how I write. I like to have random events that operate indepedently from each other, which will later be revealed to be all connected. The next part will go into more detail as two of the plot lines merge. The first part was just to introduce the goals of the main characters, next issue is more action-oriented. |

Thanks for the comment.
As for the you-know-who, he'll be back, and will kill Harry Potter next issue! (drums) Now seriously, that's the nickname she gave herself, her alias, the way the people know her. Next issue her identity will be discovered. But you can search it on hyperborea.com (or something like it), and spoil it.
Little thing that no one noticed ... "Ebenezer Jones" is an obscure golden age character, whose power was to make people worry.
