Some thoughts about The Flash #53

What is the Strength Force?

The Trickster has been inbued by the mysterious force The Flash has been investigating and now to stop him, he will have to get even closer to it.

Much better than the last issue all right.

Joshua Williamson handles a new chapter and explores new aspects of the characters. Commander Cold gets his own share of the spotlight this time and his backstory is finally revealed. Once again, Williamson demonstrated a good understanding of these mythos and connects them to Commander Cold in a way that makes sense and even reveals a few new interesting aspects of his personality and even future, I wish I could see more of what happens in the 25th Century now.

The main story progresses at a nice pace as well and some of the aspects of the Strength Force are finally revealed while they become more and more dangerous. The cliffhanger is also quite interesting and exciting.

Christian Duce is in charge of the pencils and his work is really solid with detailed character models and environments although I don't think his art is fluid enough for the book.

Fantastic read, love this title.
