The Flash 16: Wally West Returns

Great writing and art

Haven't enjoyed a Wally West story this much since the 90s. Kudos to the team who created this wonderful book!

Sorry, but I just couldn't give this volume 5 stars because the majority of the artwork is done using that computer assist art and not hand drawings. I wouldn't mind so much, as it probably saves a lot of time, but the characters look like crappy, semi posable, smooth, action figures. There's no life, no sense of movement. The hardest thing to do in a still comic book is to draw a character moving fast. But other Flash artists have nailed it perfectly in earlier issues like Rafa Sandoval, Carlos D'Anda, and my top two favorites Howard Porter and Carmine Di Giandomenico. Their earlier work on The Flash was nothing short of masterful.

The Flash feels like the Flash again thanks to Jeremy Adams and the return of Wally West. The Flash is back to being fast enough to go toe to toe with DC’s heaviest hitters. The speed force feels mysterious again with plenty to be explored. The Flash Family dynamic has returned! The balance between cosmic world changing adventures and down to earth family fun is perfect. I hope this run lasts forever. 11/10

wally west is back and better than ever
