The Flash Vol. 7: Perfect Storm

Okay if you have made it this far into the story then you obviously like it. Stop reading reviews because you're already sold on it.

Gorilla Grodd is back. It was refreshing to see him again and it was a nice new flash family story.

Excellent comic regarding Flash Gordon. I would recommend this book for others to read. Comic books bring the use of your imagination!

Birthday gift ! Nice and brand new

THE FLASH VOL 7: PERFECT STORM, by Joshua Williamson, brings Grodd back and along with some help, wants to take over the speed force and defeat Flash once and for all. The Flash wants to handle Grodd alone and not put anyone else in danger, but he realizes that he is infinitely stronger with a team of allies by his side. Williamson uses the Flash's constant struggle of personal risk vs working as team again in this graphic novel. While this torment is not new to the Flash, Williamson keeps it fresh by including the unique perspectives of all the other speedsters. Each one has their own reason for being there and wanting to help. The artistry is great and the layout and panel choices really enhance the storytelling, Williamson's THE FLASH VOLUMES is currently the only graphic novel series I read and will keep coming back to because of how well done the volumes are done from top to bottom. Thank you to DC Comics, Joshua Williamson, and Netgalley for a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review!

This action-packed volume takes the reader back in time to some of Flash's earlier trials. The 3-D character is shown in his self doubts, but his heart is a good one and he's definitely the hero, as always. Great stories, and highly recommended.

The Flash is back! Though I suppose I should clarify which one, huh? In this case we have Barry Allen as the main perspective, but there are also cameos from multiple other Flash characters. In short it’s a fun read, especially if you love seeing all the varying characters interacting with one another.Honestly, it’s hard to believe that we’re already up to volume seven in the Flash. I feel like it was just a few months ago that I picked this series up and binged it, but I’m fairly certain that was at least four volumes ago. I’ll resist the urge to make some speed and time goes here. You’re welcome.It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Perfect Storm is a fast paced volume with a lot of action and conflict. I mean, this is the Flash we’re talking about. I personally really enjoyed this volume. Not only did I get to see a lot of other characters that I love, but I always love a plot that forces the main protagonist to take a look at his actions and take measure of him or herself.It’s been a while since I’ve seen Grodd, so in a weird way I was actually kind of happy to see him wreaking havoc here. I know that sounds twisted, but you’ve got to admit that DC has always been capable of creating strong and interesting villains. Still, it’s nice to see them get changed up from time to time, and this was certainly a refreshing change.As I mentioned above, I really love plots and events that force our heroes to really evaluate themselves. In this case we see Barry going above and beyond, as always. He’s doing what he can to protect those he loves…but one has to wonder, just how selfless are his actions here? This is one of those times where you really kind pretend that it’s all for the greater good. And I’m okay with that. Actually, I love that. I love that these characters are human enough to have actual struggles and conflicts. It’s one of the best parts about reading superhero comics, if you ask me.I did really love the cameos too. While I’m sure that not all of the Flash variants arrived, a good number of them did, and it was nice to see. To be honest I had forgotten how many of them had managed to branch out into other series, so it was really nice to see the reminder. It also made it clear that I should probably catch up in those series…alas.Probably the best part about this plot was that they managed to seamlessly set up another plot at the same time. I’m not sure if we’ll be seeing that one come to a head right away or not. I think I’ll be okay with it regardless. And yes, I’m being a bit vague on purpose, but I don’t want to spoil anything good. It’s worth it, trust me.I can’t wait until the next volume of Flash is available! This series has been pretty solid so far, so I’m glad to see it continue, and that it’s getting so many spinoffs and the like.

Barry Allen is the Flash. His arch nemesis, Grodd, has built a giant lightning rod to catch the speed force in the hopes of saving his own life. The lightning rod slows time throughout Central City. Barry isn’t strong enough to combat Grodd, Multiplex and Negative Flash alone so he gets some from help from Wally, Kid Flash and Avery.I admit that I haven’t read a Flash story since Barry died in the 1980s. He was resurrected in 2008 in Final Conflict. This was followed by six issues of The Flash: Rebirth. Despite three reboots including title changes and renumberings, Barry has been continuing his Flash story since 2010. The Flash Vol 7: Perfect Storm collects The Flash Vol 5 #39-45 from the DC Rebirth.The Flash Vol 7: Perfect Storm explains enough of the Flash Family’s back stories to allow it to be read as a stand-alone. The plot involves the fear of losing self by trusting others. It has a nice message that power isn’t always everything. It’s a good lesson for younger comics fans. The artwork is stellar and pops with bright colors. 4 stars!Thanks to DC Comics and NetGalley for an advance copy.

Perfect for a flash fan.

A DC Comics tomou uma grande decisão quando resolveu trazer o Barry Allen como o Flash novamente, mesmo o Wally West sendo tão famosa com a geração pós-Crise Nas Infinitas Terras. Esta série fase Rebirth só está provando que o Barry é o Flash definitivo.

Comics en parfait état.

Flash wird immer mehr zu meinem Lieblingshelden. Batman und Spidey sind noch knapp davor, aber was diese Serie abfackelt ist wirklich spitze.

If you’re watching the show, read the comic. The art is very good, the plots are rich and the characters are written with heart and each page pulls you in. Start at the beginning of Rebirth for maximum enjoyment and appreciation.
