I would rate this higher but felt like the sequential story telling, specifically on page 9, didn't make any sense. The peacemaker in the robotic war suit grabs Superman in battle with Ras. When Ras is about to hit him with the sword. Ras isn't even in the next panel when he's grabbed. It looks weird and is confusing.

Loving this old school storytelling. This needs to be read in single issues. Not a trade read. This may read worse

It's ok. Definitely not as good as issue 16.
This series doesn't tackle enough of the issues around the comforts that create complacency that allow for consolidation of resources. Who shows up for the revolution if we lose our high quality distractions like streaming, the NFL and Below Deck? What if it's the Bears year??
It's has an overly simplistic moral view around what allows consolidation of power to happen.

I thought this maxi series dragged in the middle. Definitely going to reread this from the beginning. Which is my plan with Ram Vs swamp thing, detective comics and new gods, to see if these comics hold together.

Johnny sorrow has been trying to call the Elder Gods for a long time. I thought it was just 25 of our years (Johns Goyer run). But since world war 2? Why can't he get the job done?
I guess his last name is Sorrow because he can't stop failing the Elder Gods. Why is Cthulhu putting up with this failure?
What a loser.
Kidding, Sorrow is awesome and totally under used in DC continuity.

I have not read this issue in yet. I just stuck a rating in there to post a comment. I just finished the second collection. I am enjoying the execution very much. My comment, which perhaps will start a discussion, is that this setup is flawed.

Spurrier insanity that is still comprehensible is the best Spurrier. This is why DC chose him to write the Flash. Best issue in a while, partially due to that it focuses on Wally (supporting cast has just become to cumbersome).

And here it is. The comic I've been looking forward to the most since they launched absolute. I like it. Do I like it as much as flash 1 by Mike Baron from 1987? No. Because that book was a 10 and still is one of the greatest comics ever.
This was never going to live up to my expectations.
I will stick with this as I prefer pre dad energy Wally West. Broadly speaking, the main dcu wally west hero's journey feels like it's over. So it begins again with a different vision of what that journey looks like without his mentor.
Frankly it may be time for the current DCU to go the way of earth 2 re: Adventure Comics from the late 1970s. And let absolute take over as main continuity.

The best issue of the run so far. It's an old school approach and I like it. And probably the issue where the art and story really jelled for the first time.

One of the best issues in the run. Still not perfect.
Can't help saying that we appear to be in the late stage of the current version of the DCU. The Flash is the title that signals this the most through DC history.
The young man who was Wally West who was not a very nice person has turned into a family man and leads the fantastic flash four and shares the stage with them all. Feels like the narrative end for the character that transported a transplant heart in exchange for healthcare. very late in the narrative now...
At least his end state was better than what the pre crisis Barry got... but I guess DC still has time to kill everybody.
Absolute is perhaps the stealth reboot hiding in plain sight. If only Absolute Batman was better.

I don't like the change in artist (too different from regular artist) and Damian is very different from what I remember.

I've been a bit of a wait and see on the Absolute line because I don't trust DC to not screw it up. They've been screwing these things up since immediately post crisis (Now I feel old).
I picked up and read the first four issues of this today. This is great and a nice change from the legacy DC titles which have become overly focused on everyone's extended family. the bat family. Super family. Wonder family. Flash family. Whatever the mess of characters Green lantern is. All of those legacy books have lost focus on their core characters and for me are lesser for it. So I will go to absolute for the focus on the core characters (and will ignore Snyders card game scene in issue 2 of absolute Batman which made me want to go blind).
I will also go to this as I prefer the overall approach to the art versus what I'm seeing in JLU, Batman, Superman, and worlds finest. I realize people like the artists on those books but for me it all looks the same - fast paced with very limited sequential storytelling. Very Jim Lee influenced style, who I've never really been a fan of. Personal preference.
I'm "all in" on the absolute titles until they start crossing over with the main universe, change the creative teams, or start forcing alignment with the legacy universe.
I don't want that flash of two worlds until absolute flash 123. But doubt they will wait that long.
Pretty impressive that Batman is probably third best of this launch.

Much better than the last issue. But This will be a seriously polarizing issue.
I appreciate spurrier because he tries different things. And I feel like the art fits the book and what he is trying.
The villain appears absurdly out of character until you get to the last few pages. Then it's just bizarre and I like that.
But some will hate the tone and everything about this.

It's just odd. Why build up a villain like the sovereign and have the take down be like this? Also, to think that the sovereign wouldn't have the chimp lobotomized is silly. And I'm fine with silly in comics, if it fits your narrative. When I was reading the issue with Diana being starved and having a glass of wine poured over her head, my take was that this wasn't a silly book.
Also, Diana using all allies in the arsenal is enjoyable. But The sovereign would do the same and it would make it more interesting if he did. Showing Diana playing chess and the sovereign playing incompetent is lazy.

It's marvel's FF with the flash characters. Wally is the focus of this as much as Reed would be in an FF story (note not Fantastic Four but FF). If you like that then you will like this. I don't know why they are doing this with the flash title and Wally west, but it's clearly what DC has wanted for decades now. But The execution doesn't acknowledge Wally's childhood quality, which it should as raising children can bring one's own childhood to the surface. Which would be interesting. But perhaps the creators and editors haven't read those stories.
Looking forward to absolute flash.
