Some thoughts about The Flash #43

The Flash will need to stop his own father if he wants to learn more about this case.

Henry Allen has escaped from prison to try to save his son from The Reverse-Flash. However, Barry knows that there must a better way to handle this but it might be too late for it.

Mixed thoughts about this one.

Some of the characterization actually works like when Barry reunites with his dad (although one could make the case about how they being hugging after reuniting is pretty odd considering that they have met several times inside of the prison) and they actually work together to make Henry go back to prison. Wally also gets a surprising nice moment when he actually demonstrates that he can be smart.

The problem is this plot as a whole that doesn't seem to be progressing in a natural way. I've mentioned before that The Reverse-Flash arc didn't have a proper build-up but it also presents Barry's archenemy as pretty simplistic planner due that his big idea is to reunite a bunch of Rogues to kill him, the story lacks any kind of creative and uniqueness, not to mention that the pacing is also awful.

Brett Booth continues in art duties and I'm starting to get tired of his style, he tends to make the characters overreact even in simply conversations which makes the storytelling unnatural. The action scenes are good looking though.

Can't recommend this one sadly, we need a change already.
