Things are going pretty well for Barry Allen. He's in a committed relationship with a woman who knows his secret, the Flash is back in the good graces of Central City, and he's working to get his old job as a police scientist back. However, there are still issues for the Scarlet Speedster to solve including helping repair the damage of the the ape attack, looking into who might be framing the Trickster for murder, and watching out for a pair of would-be super-heroes enhanced by their time trapped in the Speed Force.
Brian Buccellato takes over the sole writing duties for this issue and Marcio Takara steps in to do the artwork for a missing Francis Manapul giving the comic a sleeker look. The art is good, but the layered panels that flow into each other, which the comic is known for, don't quite have the same zip.
Even with Manapul's abscence the comic works pretty well, although I'm less sure of the storyline that unfolds concerning the Outlander Nation or Barry Allen inexplicably suddenly loosing his powers (I'm also less than pleased I have to read the next issue of Dial H to apparently find out the cause). Worth a look.
