Barry has been captured by The Rogues due to the police's orders and he has no other choice but follow their orders. However, his father is not going to let this happen to him.
Okay, there are several things that didn't work here... while others actually did.
Van Jensen delivers this anniversary issue by focusing on two stories. The first one being where Barry is being chased by The Rogues and the police, and to be quite honest, this is an underwhelming and unnecessarily convoluted segment. The Flash is constantly being misjudged by the rest of the people despite of everything has done to save the city which is a bit forced, yes, Zoom caused that mistrust but is still a bit exagerated. Second, the way how Barry's dad tries to help him is to make a supervillain try to cause destruction everywhere to help him escape which seems like a pretty problematic plan. Finally, the way how things happen from one point to another are way too abrupt without logical transitions.
Oh, and the big villain is The Riddler because apparently The Flash doesn't have enough Rogues on his own so he needs to borrow one of Batman's.
Jesus Merino and Paul Pelletier handle the artwork and is not bad but not really impressive. Not a fan of their collaboration overall.
The second section on the other hand, is a bit more successful by focusing on Wally and how he receives a visit of himself from the future which ultimately leads to some solid character moments. This might not be a big deal for you but it was cool for me to see that his best friend is actually Chunk just like in his last incarnation which gives some nice memories. Joe Eisma handles the artwork and is pretty good looking with a vibrant and distinctive style.
I wouldn't recommend this for the first story but I would suggest people to read at least the second one.
