This is it! The face-off between Zoom and the Flash! As the battle rages, we learn the tragic details behind the murder of Barry's mother!
This is an intense and emotional issue! Not only do we get the big mano-a-mano fight between the two speedsters, but we get the backstory, motives and details about the murder of Nora Allen! Thawne is very twisted and deranged which makes him interesting and very scary. At first I was a bit turned off by the way the backstory is weaved into the current story - kind of micro-memories cut between panels - but once I got used to it, it became easier to see and enjoyable. It provided a cutaway, but without taking the momentum from the narrative.
Barry is mostly in react mode as he hears the story for the first time as well, but he gets a few moments to shine as well. The emotions of the situation hit him pretty hard, but he doesn't let himself get pulled down to Thawne's level by any of it. It becomes a sparkling character moment for him, actually!
While this was a great wrap-up to this arc, it leaves a lot to be picked up. Has Thawne actually succeeded in his plan to ruin Barry, even if he isn't able to fully shame and destroy him? That's for future issues to spell out, but it certainly means that there will be ramifications of this story rippling through this book for a bit yet. I'm curious to see what happens next!

the dark truth of eobard and how/why he killed the flashes mother releaved. good 3nding to this saga but even though reverse flash was defeated.. did he accomplish his goal or tarnishing the flashes legacy. atleast with the police he may have.
