Summary: Johns knows how to keep you reading
Comment: I've been a flash fan for years, and Geoff Johns has turned his world upside down (in a good way). Once you start reading this book, you'll never want to put it down.

Summary: Geoff Johns Knocked My Socks Off
Comment: I was a huge fan of the work that Mark Waid had done on the FLASH title, and when I heard he was leaving the book, so did I. But I just kept hearing all of this stuff about what Geoff Johns (also the writer of JSA,) was doing in the Flash book and I got curious and tried this book.
Wow. I underestimated the work of Geoff Johns on Flash. I don't know why I did, but I did, and I was proven dead wrong. I hated the artist, Scott Kolins, as well when he took over from Paul Pelletier, whose work I thought was definitive for the title. Scott Kolins, however, has already taken Paul's place in my mind as definitive Flash artist.
BLOOD WILL RUN has a lot happening in it. New characters are introduced. Various ongoing plotlines are begun. Old characters are RE-introduced (Weather Wizard being the biggest.) But even Wally is different, and it's a welcome change. He seems so much more sure of himself and his role as the Flash, but I can't explain how. I can't put my finger on any of it. It's something you need to see for yourself. But the work of Johns (and I've read up through #187 now; this book collects #170-176 and the lead story to Secret Files #3,) is superior to Mark Waid's Flash work which rested almost its entire premise on Wally entering and re-entering the Speed Force, and Linda being his guiding force, and living up to the memory of Barry Allen. The book is now more focused on dynamic stories, great characterization, and living up to the memory of Barry Allen NOT by internal monologues, but by ACTIONS.
BLOOD WILL RUN is the best TPB I've read all year, and any Flash fan (but you don't have to be a Flash fan! It's still good!) would be a fool to pass it up.

Summary: FLASH IS A FAST READ!
Comment: Ever since I was a little comic book geek I'd always had a fascination with the character of The Flash. He had cool powers and a unique costume. His assortment of great villains was probably second only to Batman. And the majority of his comics ended with some of the best cliff-hangers ever. Alas, in the past 20 years The Flash title has had numerous high and low points (or slow and fast if you'd prefer). Well, I'm happy to inform you that with THE FLASH: BLOOD WILL RUN, we're heading towards another HIGH point!
Writer Geoff Johns has brought an incredible level of energy to his story-telling. These stories move along at rapid-fire pacing and don't give the reader a moment to catch their breath. Whether the Flash is battling the new villain Cicada and his evil followers, or dealing with his illegit-son, or in just trying to handle the myriad of characters from past and present who continually enter and re-enter his life. My personal favorite being mucho-weird ex-girlfriend Francis Kane (the super powered Magenta). Wally West is the rare hero who had such a promiscuous past that it's always fun to see some of the EX's return to wreck havoc in his life.
It's clear with this first collection of John's work on Flash that he is a long-time fan of the character. He delivers plenty of action, humor, and the essential chapter ending cliff-hangers that will keep you guessing...HOW DOES THE FLASH GET OUT OF THIS ONE?
