4.0 out of 5 stars
A really good Part I of a two part story, 12 Jan 2006
When all of the speedsters except The Flash suddenly lose their superhuman speed, they begin looking for an explanation. Well, the explanation is heading their way, in the shape of a new super-villain, Savitar. Savitar literally worships the Speed Force, and does not want anyone else tapping its power. Wally West is in the hot seat, and he is going to have to use all of his intellect and talent if he is going to save himself and the other speedsters. I must say that I am of two minds about this book. It has an exciting storyline, and keeps you on the edge of your seat, right up to the end. On the downside, however, the story leaps back and forth between the work of Oscar Jimenez and Humberto Ramos, and Ramos's anime style is not fitting to the story. Also, the simple fact that it does leap between two styles gives the story a discordant feel to it. The final insult is that this book ends in a cliff-hanger, and you must move on to The Flash: Race Against Time to see what happens next. (And believe me, you really need to do that!) But, that said, this is a great Flash story, one that I am really glad that I read. So, I guess I would sum up by saying that this is a really good Part I of a two part story, one that any Flash fan will be glad to read.
