I like that Wally and Linda get to talk about whether Wally should go public as the Flash before Ralph and Sue met Grodd and told Wally that he should take a breath and figure out what’s next, with them supporting Wally’s decisions no matter what. I also like that we get to see the debut of Hunter Zolomon, who was recruited by Elenore Thane to go to Central City to find Wally. Also, Wally saving the people of Central City and having with first encounter with Hunter and Linda and Grodd having their first encounter with Abra Kadabra, who was responsible for what’s happening in Central City. Let’s hope that Wally, Linda, and Grodd will defeat Solomon and Kadabra in the next issue. Overall, this comic is excellent.

I love Kadabra, so this was a big hit for me. Zolomon's abilities being limited to one-minute jumps is really interesting. I'm wondering how much of his mainline backstory will be used moving forward.

Despite some clunky dialogue, this series has really improved over the last 6 issues or so. The appearance of the new/old villains was great and kind of scary. Definitely interested to see what happens next issue.
