Summary
What’s happened to the Speed Force? One of the world’s most powerful speedsters is dead, and Barry Allen must discover who – or what – is responsible! But the reborn Barry is a man haunted by a dark secret in his past. A secret that drives him to push far beyond his limits. A burden that, if he’s not careful, could send him right back into oblivion! Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver’s reinvention of the Scarlet Speedster picks up the pace – we dare you to keep up!

by Greg McElhatton Comic Book Resources Johns can write peppy, fun comics, so I'm not entirely sure why this one feels so slow. Right now, the over-twenty-years-in-the-making return of Barry Allen feels woefully anti-climactic.

by dclebeau read/RANT If you like what Johns has been doing with Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, odds are you’ll like this Rebirth too. I admit, I enjoyed the book too. I just wish it was a little less heavy-handed in the reinvention of the title character.

by Kirk Warren Weekly Crisis I'm not willing to recommend this series to any new readers of Flash and I'm not even sure if it's something old fans should run out to pick up, but it wasn't a bad issue either. It's mostly falling a victim of its own hype and my high expectations, to which it is falling well short of presently.

by Jesse Schedeen IGN Despite some interesting developments and a solid take on both Barry Allen and Wally West, the Johns/Van Sciver duo is starting to disappoint me given the high quality of their Green Lantern work.

by Ryan the Iowan Weekly Review Power Rankings In general, I consider FLASH: REBIRTH #2 a big step up from the first issue, which was already a great read. It’s solid superhero fun with some great twists and a nice look back at Barry Allen’s origin. I say don’t miss this one!

by Kevin Comic Book Legacy his was a very disappointing issue that only benefits from having Scriver's pick up the slack with his excellent artwork. After these two issues that have taken a slow burn approach to Barry's return Johns has no excuse but to pick things up and start developing other characters than just Barry.

by Kelson Speed Force As with the previous issue, I liked it when I first read it, but the more I think about it, the more some elements bother me. Isn’t it ironic that Flash: Rebirth seems to be wallowing in death?

by Rokk Krinn Comic Book Revolution The Flash: Rebirth #2 was a good read that still had a few defects that might turn off some readers. I do think that most Flash fans will enjoy The Flash: Rebirth #2.
