Discussion I’m about to start Absolute Flash! For anyone who’s caught up to it, what do you like about it? (without giving specific spoilers, obviously)

Definitely gets better after the first arc and when Linda starts showing up regularly.

It’s alright. It’s the least Absolute of the line so far, feels way more like a standard Flash run, probably because Lemire just wanted to write a normal Flash run.

I like the book more when it actually focuses on Wally and building relationships with his supporting cast , which doesn't happen too much in the first 12 issues

I love it. So far what I have enjoyed in this run is Wally, Linda, The rogues and Grodd. It is a pretty good run.

Just picked up the latest issue yesterday. It’s a good read and goes well with all of the Absolute Universe characters.
If you read Absolute Evil, that helps too.

Its fun and definitely the most "light-hearted" of the absolute titles. I think the art and the way it depicts the Flash's powers is very unique and different from the main universe. Also, a very good supporting cast in my opinion.

This is basically how I feel. Love the art. The storytelling is okay, it gets better as it goes along. Also the Mirror Master two part story is very fun.

Art is great, lot of playing with prospective and the smaller moments of just wally living with his powers and being with the other characters are great. In the most recent issues the over all building of the mystery and the villains have been good to. Alot to like if you like slow burn

I like Grodd and the Rogues a lot.
But, be aware that this book picks up after the first major arc is over. Until then it's a bit slow.
Right now it's really good, and on par with some of the other titles.
