This week Joshua Williamson said that Flash War was the culmination of his run, however I feel that Flash #38 really draws on everything that he has done since the first issue of his run and gives a satisfying end. This issue also sets up plenty of interesting stuff, which gets me excited for the future of the flash. Read Full Review

I really liked this issue from Williamsons approach, Kollins art and the potential for upcoming subplots. The Flash has rarely gone off track during this run, but it seems poised to be even better in the next few issues. Read Full Review

This book's got its groove back in a big way. Read Full Review

In all of his various forms, Barry Allen has a penchant for turning his feelings inward, so it's with some degree of cheer that Williamson manages to round out this particular tale on a note of hope. That's a pretty nice anniversary gift for the character and readers alike. Read Full Review

The Rogues shine, but Godspeed dazzles as a character-driven arc gives the Flash solid footing to keep on running. Read Full Review

Joshua Williamson writes a great story as usual and does a great job setting up for the annual and the arc leading up to Flash War and is complimented by Scott Kolins on art. Read Full Review

This was a really fun issue of the Flash that ties up some loose ends, but more importantly, makes me look forward to everything it sets up.  Joshua Williamson gives long time readers some nice character moments that culminates with the promise of something most have been waiting a while to see.  Scot Kolins art has a nice, old school appeal that fits the story nicely and while it may not be a great jumping on point for new readers, I can easily recommend it to those who have stucked with the series or recently droped off.

This isn't necessarily Kolins' strongest Flash work. His figure work is fairly loose, particularly late in this issue. But even so, there's nothing like the dynamic, animated quality Kolins brings to Flash's adventures. Read Full Review

Time has not slowed Kolins's stride and his work here is the best this series has seen in some time. Williamson's script is equally strong, though it does set up a plot beat at the end regarding an undercover operation at the GCPD that makes little sense logically. Read Full Review

Joshua Williamson is building to big things on The Flash. His plot twists are unexpected keeping you on your toes. His characterization is smart, heartfelt and embraces the family at the heart of the Fastest Man Alive's franchise. The team of artists on this series is reliable with a nice balance between classic veteran storytellers and rising superstars. With the eagerly-awaited "Flash War" coming up next, I strongly encourage anyone on the fence to jump on the bandwagon now. Williamson's Flash is on a hot streak and this book is only getting hotter. Don't miss it! Read Full Review

The finale to a "Cold day in hell" is by far the strongest one, giving a satisfying finale to the story. Captain Cold is the standout here, having some of the best dialogue. I'm excited to see where the story goes from here as some plot lines are being set up, and how they may lead up to this year's "Flash War." Read Full Review

It's definitely been a while since I've enjoyed an issue of the Flash so much. Great and fun action with good characterization and overall progression of the story. Williamson again shows that Godspeed is the most interesting part of his run and made me remember how good the first arc of this book was. Scott Kolins is probably one of the best Flash artists, and I am wishing he will be back on this book sooner than later.

Didn't knock my socks off and the art was distracting for my taste. I suppose it wraps up the arc pretty well and leaves a lot open to be explored.

Finale issue for this story. A little quick but why not. I didn't care who is really in charge in the prison or all the betrayal.
I find the end too easy. I'm a little disappointed that Cold fall that fast. In a other hand having him in the suicide squad may make me try it.

Cover - I take the variant cover ... Sadly well connected to the story ^^ 2/2
Writing - Where was the era of subplot. Not subplot about betrayal, but with the rogue in charge of the prison. Construct more about it with time, with flash occupied otherwise. And a final story in the end of the road. 1.5/3
Arts - Potter is back. 2.5/3
Feeling - I will not following flash. He didn't succeed to keep me very interested. 0/2

A new creative team is needed. Covers are great now, though.
