Barry Allen fucks shit up again!

This was so much better than [b:The Flash: Rebirth|6476516|The Flash Rebirth|Geoff Johns|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1320436138s/6476516.jpg|6667711]. I already knew the story from watching the animated version, but this has some moments that lacked -- and they were almost all my favorite parts.

Spoiler

Thomas Wayne stabbing Thawne with a GIANT SWORD in the middle of his villain speech and Bruce crying over his father's alternate universe letter

were huge highlights.

I mostly read this because I am getting impatient to see how TV!Barry Allen and his much better hair fuck things up in the show's version of Flashpoint this fall. But this was quite fun all on its own.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
This was okay I guess. Only really read it because it was part of the Green Lantern reading order for some reason. Barry was kind of boring, and everything felt a little rushed, some things could have been fleshed out more. Like the map at the back of the book, explaining who controlled what part of the world, that was cool. I actually think the movie was better.

I really enjoyed this story. I read it twice just to take everything in. I would recommend it for any DC comics fan.

wanted to read this flashpoint story arc for long time but had to wait till i get it.
when i read first few issues of 52 continuity i was curious to know what lead the story to here. i mean i know in 52 continuity they did change some backstories we knew from prior issues.

turned out this cross over event was the reason for semi rebooted 52verse. so the entire dc comic history we once knew was changed cause of this event. recommended read for all comic book lovers

Asi es como se debe tratar una historia de viaje en el tiempo de forma "creible" la motivacion de flash por la muerte de su madre el dolor que le produce lo obliga de alguna manera a querer cambiar las cosas pero se ve con la sorpresa que todo fue una catastrofe, la realidad alterada es muy interesante, aunque no me gusto le hecho de no tener una mejor expliacion para la guerra entre aquaman y la mujer maravilla que casi no aparecen.
