Finished reading The Flash: Full Stop, concluding DC's Flash series that started at the beginning of the New 52 publishing line as writer Robert Venditti and Van Jensen closes the series with Flash having to deal with being the Central City Police Department's most wanted. He book opens up with police captain Darryl Frye bring Barry to meet with the Rouges who have been hired to help the police in capturing the Flash after is image was tarnished by Professor Zoom earlier in the series, as the police are using drones can detect wherever the Flash is when he's using his powers. While the Flash is dealing with being a wanted man, Wally Wast is slowly discovering that he has got similar powers as the Flash after being hit by lightning for Zoom's machine earlier in the series. The final part of the book features the first part of the next Flash series from DC's Rebirth publication line as the story sets up the next series and haw it links to larger events for the future. Overall this was a good book as it wraps up the series with the Flash having to try and clear his name while also dealing with the Rouges and Batman villain, the Riddler which makes for a very intriguing story. The development of Wally with him finding out that he has super speed is good and doesn't feel to out of place even though it's almost it own story. The artwork throughout the book is good as the action and character emotions are showcase very nicely. What lets the art down though is that the constant changing art work leads to some inconsistencies in some character designs and the tone of the colour palette. Additionally the DC Rebirth part of the book is a great sets up of the next series which looks to be extremely interesting. 7/10.
