    "Um. Be right back."

    The new Flash series continues with issue #2.  When Cops who look like rogues show up, blaming Flash for a murder that hasn't even happened yet, will they be successful in their attempts to arrest him?
     

    What You Need To Know

     Barry Allen is back.  He's working both under and over the mask.  Cops from the 25th Century arrive to arrest the Flash.  
     

    The Good.

     Geoff Johns continues his strong writing, highlighting some excellent moments in Barry Allen's life.  
    The Flash does some pretty amazing things involving speed reading and building.
    The Rogues have a nice conversation with Captain Boomerang.
    Francis Manapul's art is amazing, especially for this character.
    The series, so far, has such a great cliffhanger ending issue to issue.

    The Verdict.

     This series continues to shine, placing it on par with Johns' Green Lantern series.  If you haven't been reading this series, you need to.  It's beautifully drawn and it correlates with the writing.  If you haven't read this series, you need to pick up #1 before #2.
     

    5/5
