So, this year we've had a monkey invasion, the Rogues and Reverse Flash make appearances in The Flash. I've enjoyed this year of Flash comics, the Annual set a good precedence, and the following year of comics has followed suit.
The Rogues aren't the best villains in the DCU, but the issues were well written, and with all the distractions of Grodd and the Outsiders, the Rogues acted as polyfiller which, to be honest, I thought worked really well!

The artwork is brilliant, I love the way that every issue has "DC COMICS PROUDLY PRESENTS - THE FLASH!" embedded in a page somewhere. I love the way the comic's frames unfold across the page. Sometimes it is so visually stimulating, I start feeling like I'm running with Barry.
The Flash is an easy, light-hearted read. Flash has a strong sense of purpose and truth. He is courageous - in #19 he temporarily loses the power of the speed force, but still manages to save the day!
He is head-strong - despite being told by his dad that he is guilty of murdering Barry's Mum, he is determined to find the truth, follow the facts. "The evidence never lies".
This comic is fun. It's pacey. It's awesome!
MY VERDICT - 4/5
