This Review Was Submitted by Knightwingbk:

Writers: Danny Bilson & Paul Demeo
Artists: Ken Lashley & Sal Velluto

In a flash, Flash has found its footing. We now have a complete conflict between characters, a solid flow between inkers and colorists, and our regular artist. My main complaint is that Ken Lashley has another penciller fill in for him in the last ... 6 pages? Are you that slow? Put it of another week, and finish the 6 pages! That's what the fill-in last issue was for! If I ran DC, Ken Lashley would not be working for me with these circumstances!

Bilson and Demeo were in fact, taking their time, forging character relationships, which is what made the first issues so slow. Now, we care about Bart and Valerie. We love to hate Griff, and all that pays off in this issue. Griff saves the boat from last issue, but kills the disgruntled employee/terrorist who was behind it. We see the Grifter being the young reckless hero that the people in the Marvel Universe (on the other side of the coin) are trying to stop. Griff uses his newfound fame to cash some checks and almost have a foursome. Almost! It seems his powers have an unexpected twist. Griff starts to go nuts, and Bart must don the costume to stop him. It seems that Bilson & Demeo are planning something, and that it may payoff in the end. I'll stay with it, crossing my fingers that I'm right. C+/B-

Nice review, I really hate to sound corny, but this book is not moving fast enough for me.

Nick said:

Comic was better then the last issue, then again the last issue wasn't anything to call home about. I think C is a pretty accurate rating for it

Incredibly dull comic with astonishingly bad art. Skip it until their act together.
