    The Regeneration that you won't expect...

    Barry shooted in the head and Manuel kidnapped by his "clones"... The situation is gettin' more and more complicated for the Flash and for his old friends, whose secrets will revealt the real plot under Mob Rule actions.

    THE GOOD:

    In this issue, finally we know what it's really happening, who really are the soldiers of the Mob Rule and the role of Manuel in all this story. The secret life of Barry's friend probably isn't the most original that we've seen in decades of comics, but it do his part to make the entire arc more interesting.

    Like in previous issue, continues the dicovery of all the power of the Speedster, expedient to make our speedy friend still alive and not dead (again).

    THE BAD:

    The only negative point is that, on balance, the plot doesn't go on very much, probably it would be accelerated a bit making the story of Manuel a little more short, but, however, this is not a great default.

    VERDICT: 4/5

    The Story Arc is going to reach its climax really soon, and this issue promises really, really good!

      The Story: Central City remains in the dark after the recent EMP blast and Iris West is locked is Iron Heights prison trying to find a way out. Flash wakes up and does nothing. My Thoughts:Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato continue to make their attempt at writing a comic series as well as drawing it. I haven't been crazy about their storytelling abilities thus far. I feel like they lack the experience in that department and have wholeheartedly failed up to this point at creating a compelling...
