The Flash, Vol. 1: Move Forward

To be frank I have never followed Flash as a separate comic. So when I picked up his journey with the New 52, I thought this might lead to interesting times. Sadly, this is no longer true. This version is pretty poorly written and confusing. Given Flash is more science fiction than fantasy (Speed force is about quantum physics) I believe they need a writer who can slow things down and detail some of these to bring some logic to the proceedings. As an example, it just takes one page for Flash to be able to go from not being able to utilize his brain at super speed to being able to. To me this need a whole lot of research into brain activity etc. At the end I was left with the feeling of huge potential but totally unfulfilled. Not going back to this one till maybe a new writer in on board.
