(B) 73% | More than Satisfactory Notes: No newbie plot, it's context-fraught, tough telling who and why, though art's kinetic, energetic, worth a look and try.
Quick verdict: The Flash: Futures End (2014) #1 is a sharp, funny novel that spends its best material too early. What worked: a first act full of great one-liners and a narrator who's allergic to small talk. What didn't: the back half runs out of jokes and leans on feelings it hasn't earned. Recommend for anyone who likes sarcasm with a pulse, skip for readers who need a strong finish.
