Flashpoint #2

   Barry Allen has just awoken to a world that is not his own. Seeking answers to the insanity, he seeks out his old friend, the Batman. Only when he arrives at Wayne Manor, he finds the place hasn't been lived in for years. Worse yet- when he does come upon the Dark Knight, the vigilante doesn't even know him. See, there's a Wayne underneath the cape and cowl but it isn't Bruce! Can Barry convince this Batman that the criminologist is a true friend and that his claims that there's another, better earth out there isn't the delusions of a raving lunatic?
    Whereas issue #1 of Flashpoint was a tasting menu of what readers could expect from this massive crossover event, this issue really delivers the meat and potatoes of the story. There are dozens of mini-series and one-shots devoted to the world of Flashpoint (and I will read and review them all), but their purpose is to explore deeper the impact of whomever changed timeline. The main point of Flashpoint is Barry Allen's attempt to get back to his version of Earth-1.
   More than likely, since Barry has memories of pre-Flashpoint earth, he's the culprit behind the alterations to the timeline. But if that's the case, it's not been revealed up to this point. I'm just going to have to keep reading to find out...
    The team of Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert managed to hit another glam slam outta the park. The writing is superb and I just am in awe of Kubert's gritty artwork and amazing re-designs of some of DC's most iconic characters.
    Excellent stuff!

    Worth Consuming
