Reviewer Comments:
This book was slightly less spectacular than I had hoped for but it was pretty cool none the less. I think that it would be pretty cool to see Barry Alan remain a Blue Lantern after this is all said and done but since he'll apparently be headlining the new Flash series when it starts I don't think that's going to happen.
Scott Kolins art carried this issue, which isn't to say that the story was bad, it was just that the art was that good. Kolins took the Barry as a Blue Lantern and made it his own. The highlight of the story itself was seeing the line that the Rogues will not cross. Apparently there is honor among thieves.
Other critics might talk about the touchy-feely moment between Barry and Bart and I'm sure this was Johns way of getting rid of that weirdness between them but I wasn't impressed. I did like the direction he was going with Thawne but, that whole time paradox thing always confuses me. Frozen now equals frozen later? Doesn't quite make sense to me.
