I just got to this issue.

I liked the art, too. There were a number of panels that were just bristling with energy.

I do much prefer the kids as supporting characters rather than simply plot devices. If they weren’t artificially aged, they might’ve remained as toddlers for a long time.

Was there some reason the guy from Keystone at the end couldn’t remember the woman’s name? That was done with purpose but I just don’t know what it was.

I actually prefer the kids to be old enough that they can be supporting characters rather than props. Powers are optional.

Grodd, I’m sure, will be back.

Overall I actually liked this issue. I did have some gripes though, and agreed with you on some points. What happened to the Black Flash ‘essence’ that was being torn out of Jai and Iris? It seemed to be entering into Wally… did he take it on knowing he would die, or did it just evaporate?

Agreed on the Grodd part. So where is he? Is he alive or dead? ugh.

Also, I don’t know what they are going to do between now and Rebirth. There is a huge change coming and the build-up of stress is not going to budge. It would be nice if they hinted at what was coming at some point.

I’m becoming a bit dismayed with the turn of the book after the appearance of the twins. I feel like they should have stayed as babies. Things feel too complicated and unfinished right now. I doubt that will change!
