The Flash: History Lessons Review


Finished reading The Flash: History Lessons, this book showcases four different stories featuring The Flash. The book opens up with the backstory of how The Flash first met Green Lantern as both of them have been called to participate within an alien gladiator contest thanks to a deal Green Lantern made to an alien race in order to rescue some children who were kidnapped a few years prior. The second story shows how a few people's life's have change thanks to The Flash helping them in small ways. The next story has The Flash dealing with Spitfire, a criminal who has stolen some hazardous chemicals and has used a plane as a getaway vehicle. This leads to The Flash to come up with a different approach to tackle the problem as he is unable to fly which creates an interesting story. The rest of the book follows The Flash reopening the case of his mothers death as he believes that he may have fount her killer, leading to him accidentally unleashing an evil spirit hellbent on the revenge of the descendants of the man who left him for dead. With the spirit awoken The Flash teams up with Deadman in order to defeat it before any more innocents are killed. Overall this was a good book, it had some interesting stories that had some great resolutions to them. While the main story had a nice team up with Deadman, it still left the case open to who actually killed The Flash's mother with only the police captain and his farther knowing who. 7.5/10.
