Flashpoint #4

   Spinning out of the pages of Hal Jordan #2, America's last hope to end the Atlantis/Themyscira War has failed. Meanwhile, Barry Allen's memories of the pre-Flashpoint universe have nearly been wiped from existence. For Thomas Wayne, that means that any hope of a universe in which his son Bruce Wayne lives is fading fast- and so to prevent that, the Batman has finally decided to lead Cyborg's coalition. But who will answer the call to save the DC Universe?
     The first half of this issue is filled with lots of interesting quantum theory and strategic planning. The last half is filled with dynamic action that pulls no punches and is filled perhaps some of the most shocking and graphic death scenes ever illustrated in the pages of DC Comics. When the cover says that it's rated Teen- the editors aren't lying.  
    The penultimate chapter of this universe changing classic. It may not be the most exciting (or my favorite) of the miniseries crossover event, but it's not to be missed either. 
     Note: the editors at DC missed a great opportunity by not having a miniseries based on the SHAZAM! gang. That's all I will say about that without giving away any spoilers, but DC dropped the ball on that one, folks. That's for sure.

   Worth Consuming

   Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
