    Saber-Tooth is a Very Deadly Beast

    A case of mistaken identity has taken place.  The neighbor of miss Fiona Webb seems to think that Barry Allen has tried to kill her.  Of course, Barry has not alibi.   
    A few things I liked about this issue.  There's an interesting story taking place here.  And it's not the story of Saber-Tooth.  In my mind, this story developing in the background that involves the mysterious Mr. Malverk is more interesting than Saber-Tooth.  He's a dead ringer for Barry Allen.  There seems to be some bad blood between this Ross Malverk and Saber-Tooth.  This is more of a mystery story.  Which is good.  Made me think more Batman than Flash.  Flash needs to put some pieces together to finally figure out what is really happening and who is behind all these different "activities".
    What I didn't like... Well, the cover makes it appear like it's going to be a story about Flash and Saber-Tooth having it out.   Well, in my mind, Saber-Tooth ends up being a pretty lame duck in this case.  He just never developed in this story as a very important character... in my opinion.  And the final "battle" was pretty uneventful.
    I still liked this story over all.  Good twists and turns.
    I gave it a solid 4.
