Wally’s desperate for some food, but when his efforts to eat land him in hot water, will the Rogues finally get their hands on the intrepid speedster?
Amid all the other great elements of this title, one thing that always strikes me about Jeff Lemire's take on Wally West is how good it is at conveying uncertainty amid homelessness. Read Full Review
Absolute Flash #7 sets up something big on the horizon and lines being drawn in the sand. Wally has finally stepped into his powers and is becoming comfortable with his abilities, setting up something huge with Thawne and the Rogues. Read Full Review
What makes Absolute Flash so compelling? I think this issue exemplifies the reasons so well. The series has given The Flash a breath of fresh air for those who have felt the main series has become a little convoluted. Here, Lemire continues to take the familiar and flip it on its head by taking the familiar and turning it into something very unexpected. Through these surprises, the story feels unpredictable in the best way possible. Read Full Review
Absolute Flash #7 is a fantastic conclusion that not only resolves the immediate conflict but also opens a compelling new chapter for the character. Read Full Review
Absolute Flash #7 delivers on its promise as being one of the stronger action meets vulnerability issues in the run so far. A chance for Wally to be more than speed: to show what makes him resilient when stripped of comfort and safety. For readers who have enjoyed the slower build, the Rogues backstory, and the arts emotional subtlety, this chapter should satisfy those longing for some payoff and escalation. This issue might well be the one fans point to as where the stakes visibly rise, not just for plot but for character. If you like your Flash stories that can mix heart and menace, grounded need and looming threat, this is probably one to watch. Read Full Review
Absolute Flash #7 cranks the dial on drama and bad weather, tossing Wally into the meat grinder with just enough snark and heart to keep him interesting. The Rogues are entertainingly dysfunctional, Grodd steals scenes with tragic charm, and the colors pop off the page whenever a bolt hits the ground.

An outstanding issue made perfect with an excellent, and not entirely unexpected, conclusion! We get to see more of Wally’s humanity on display along with a growing comfort with his new powers. The Rogues are a blast as always, plus we get an introduction to the Weather Wizard, and a blink-and-you-miss-it hint of Mirror Master in one panel. The writing and the guest artwork are in peak form here.
Good issue. Sometimes I’m not sure what to think about this series — it’s slow (relatively little happens in each issue), but at the same time it’s a really quick read. I really like these versions of the Rogues and especially Wally. Having Forte Fox be the reason everyone has powers feels kind of lazy, like something the CW would do. The interesting part is that we still don’t know exactly what he is or what role the Thawnes, Jay, and Barry are supposed to play in this whole story. Another thing I’m curious about is how Wally’s powers actually work — sure, he’s fast, but it doesn’t seem to be just that; it feels like it’s going to be connected to some kind of “reality jumping” or something similar. And there’s a more
I don't know if this one did it for me, seemed like it didn't know exactly what to do with everything going on, and I wasn't a huge fan of the resolution.
