Flashpoint- Kid Flash Lost #1

 

   I really don't know how to explain this issue without giving away some major spoilers. Bart Allen- Kid Flash- is still running around Central City with his ancestor Barry Allen chasing down the temporal motorcyclist, Hot Pursuit. But this is Flashpoint! There's supposed to not be a Flash nor any other speedsters! Plus, Hot Pursuit died just prior to the Flashpoint...
  So, What's going on here?
  See, I told you I can't really get into a good solid review without spilling a few apple carts. All I can say about this issue is this- the events that transpired in this 2010 Flashpoint tie-in by Sterling Gates (Stormwatch) actually will directly influence the massive 2015 crossover event Convergence! 
    More and more as I read this series, I'm starting to think that not only the New 52 but this year's Rebirth of the DC Universe was pre-planned and blueprinted for a very long time prior to 2010! Very big kudos to Dan Didio, Jim Lee, and Geoff Johns no matter how wrong some things went. (Honestly, not everything about the New 52! was awful- mostly just what they did with Superman!)
    A necessary read Worth Consuming!

The Flash #11 (The Road to Flashpoint, Part III)

  Is the multiverse hopping Motorcyclist Hot Pursuit behind the bizarre death of the Elongated Kid? The Flash isn't sure. But the hi-tech biker thinks that the sudden aging of the fallen superhero might be the result of a chronal paradox and targets Bart Allen whose from the future. As the Central City crime lab performs an autopsy on the Elongated Kid, Barry must race Hot Pursuit for the life of young Bart. But the Scarlet Speedster had better be right that his descendant from the future isn't the culprit or the very fabric of the multiverse could unravel spelling the end of all existence.

     This is Barry Allen at his very best- solving a mystery. The Flash has a great group of villains with the Rogues but the character really is in his element when it comes to solving crimes. If the story is a mystery involving Flash's Rogues Gallery, even better!

  Whether or not Hot Pursuit will join the Rogues remains to be seen. But this was another action packed story by Geoff Johns that will leave you guessing all the way to the end and some…

The Flash #10 (The Road to Flashpoint, Part II)

   The Flash comes face-to-face with the multiverse literally as he pursues the mysterious motorcycle driver known as Hot Pursuit. Meanwhile, a blast from Barry Allen's past returns to help determine the how and why the Elongated Kid was murdered. But it's going to be difficult

for the World's Fastest Man to balance his life as both a criminologist and as a mask as cracks in the relationship between the Flash and Bart Allen come to the surface.

    A very faced paced issue with some neat twists and turns. Another character that I thought was only created for the TV show pops up in this issue proving me wrong yet again. But it's not a bad thing; it only helps me fall in love with the CW series all that much more. And the all-new character of Hot Pursuit is awesome. I hope he'll pop up in Central City sometime next season.
