Some thoughts about Knight Terrors: The Flash #1


What is The Flash's biggest fear?

Wally has just been severely injured and Barry is trying to figure out what could have caused it but the more he investigates, the more he realizes in the strange situation he is in.

I decided to try a few of the Knight Terrors tie-in and I'm glad that I started with this one since it does a really good job with the premise.

Alex Paknadel handles this little story about Barry investigating the sudden attack to Kid Flash. There are a lot of interesting concepts going on in this issue that also connect to the classic themes of The Flash. There's a huge emphasis on family as well as exploring ideas surrounding the Speed Force that has the typical sci-fi angle that you should expect from it while also delivering intriguing and on-point takes about the Rogues and the city. Is all solidly done.

Of course, there's also the whole "horror" theme that Knight Terrors going for and that's all delivered in the form of a monster who is connected to the Speed Force while also showing a terrifying fate for Hal Jordan, even Barry's actions seem more violent than normal because of this change of reality. The only complaint that I have here is that Barry should know better than play with the Speed Force after the whole Flashpoint deal but considering what's happening here, I will give it a pass.

Daniel Bayliss handles the art and is pretty solid due to the vibrant style and detailed characters.

Good read, wouldn't mind to see more of Paknadel on the franchise.
