The Flash, Volume 9: Reckoning of the Forces by Joshua Williamson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In Reckoning of the Forces, we get two adventures with Barry Allen dealing with two of the Forces he and Wally West unleashed during their round the world race: The Strength Forces infects the Trickster in the first one and the Sage Force enters into Heatwave.

Thes stories work okay. While the logic of these new forces alludes me, their realization does work pretty well. While it still seems the Flash is still dealing with his "Don't be a horrible person issues," it helps that he's doing that while struggling to relate to Command Cold who the Flash has reasons to distrust and his own issues as well.

The book ends on a good note that sets the tone for the next volume. While this series has been hit and miss, to me this one is a bit of hit.
