"Why'd They Do That?! Torture? Recruitment."
Following the EMP blast from last issue, The Flash and company set out to find Manuel as Iris West is in the hands of Captain Cold!
The Good
From musing on coffee to phasing an aeroplane through a bridge to safely land it, once again we are getting a great look at how the Flash is more than just a speedster, he's a hero who is developing his powers and abilities through trial and experimentation. Speaking of which, we also find out how Manuel Lago was able to regrow his hand, and the shadowy experiments and what intentions his superiors in the army had for him.
We also get a brief scene within Iron Heights, where Iris West has been captured by Captain Cold! It's good to hear what he has planned for Central City (in his upcoming "proper" return). There is also a scene featuring a plain-clothes Axel Walker (Trickster to you and me) handing over Dr. Elias to Mob Rule (insert dramatic music)!
The ending is quite a shocker too, I eagerly await to see how Barry gets out of that one!
The Bad
Honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with this issue, it's a joy to read and gaze at beginning to end!
Conclusion
Fantastic issue, as we get more answers on Manuel Lago / Mob Rule and the Rogues teaser more events are set into motion. Recommended!
