The Flash travels to Gorilla City for the first time the debut of Gorilla Grodd in The New 52! Also, who are the “Runners” and what do they mean for The Flash and the Speed Force?
"We are all afraid of something, Barry. There are things that scare us so bad that we feel like cowards. But the thing is, being afraid is normal. It's more than normal... it's necessary. There is no courage without fear. Remember Barry, it's okay to be afraid. So long as you don't let it stop you."
Man, this lead up to Flashpoint is fun as hell. This issue was so well balanced. Good dialogue and action. Nice art and some full page splashes. This is getting me hyped for the main event.
Continuing my journey to Flashpoint. Here I see Barry doesn't look like I expect him to look. We have the killing of Elongated Kid. Turns out it's a teenager. He has a chemical, Barry thinks, that allows him to have Elongated Man's powers. He wants Patty Spivot to investigate. He leaves a message for her. She is now working in Nebraska.
Barry has missed Iris's family picnic. He shared that he has seen his mother alive and blames himself for what has happened.
At the end, Barry is chased down by a man on a motorcycle. Turns out this is Barry Allen from the future.
This story is picking up a little bit more. All this time traveling is reminding me of Doctor Who-- but it's also making me so anxious. Barry gonna break things ; but I get it, I'd break things too if I were him.
