The DC event we’ve all been waiting for is upon us, the event that is going to be the knock out, drag out, event of ALL events, and after issue #1, I can honestly say that I am completely underwhelmed. This issue totally blew monkey balls for me and I’m not ashamed to say that. The pace of the book was horrendous, it was jumpy and not very well thought out…and that’s saying alot since the ‘great’ Grant Morrison is responsible for telling us this ‘epic’. The only saving grace of this issue is the preview of the cover for issue #2, which should bring the official return of Barry Allen, the best to ever carry the name Flash.

I apologize for how short this post is but I’m really at a loss to what to say about it. It was frankly a pretty poor piece of garbage that I hope will look better when taken as a whole with the rest of the series. But until things start to make some sense in this book, I really can’t recommend it to anyone outside of the die-hard fans.
