I was really looking forward to reading some of the New 52 books that DC started publishing last year. Since the Flash was one of the books I received for Christmas, this is where I started. This book collects issues 1-8 and is really two different stories. The first deals with Barry Allen (the flash) and his struggle against an organization called Mob Rules. The second story deals with an enemy called Captain Cold. I was really, really disappointed with both stories. The stories didn't leave me wanting more until the last 3 pages of the entire book. Not enough for me to pick up another. The art was OK. It took me most of the book to come to an appreciation for the art style. I wanted to like this book but the story telling to me was sub-par and the art was was just OK. Unless you are a HUGE Flash fan, pass on this one.
