Without the Flash around, Gorilla Grodd easily overthrew the rulers of Gorilla City and eventually all of Africa fell afterwards. Grodd should be ecstatic but something's missing. Without a challenge to his leadership, being the despotic leader of the world's second largest continent isn't as worthwhile as he thought it would be! Who would've thought that Gorilla Grodd would actually be happy without the World's Fastest Man to give him fits???
Grodd of War is another entry in the Flashpoint universe but unlike the other tie-ins that I have read set in the Flashpoint, this issue is a one-shot. I hate that! This story was so good, so intriguing, and so original, I didn't want it to end. I really wanted this storyline to be a 3-part miniseries.
New Suicide Squad's Sean Ryan really outdid himself with this tale. There was such a level of pathos and gore in this one-shot. The third season of the Flash is supposed to take place in the Flashpoint and if producers of the CW show are mining the comics for ideas, I really hope that they strip this issue clean!
It's that good! And the artwork by Ig Guara (Blue Beetle) is quite exceptional as well!!!
Worth Consuming
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
