JUSTICE LEAGUE of AMERICA
As the Flash, Wally West may be struggling to find his place within the ranks of the JLA, but he knows he has one great advantage over every trial he has ever faced: he is the Fastest Man Alive. Now, for the first time, he has met his match. A scientist has created something that can move even faster than Wally West -- and it's killing people in Keystone City.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Super Reader
The first two pages were very bad, but it was all uphill from there. It got better and better as it went along, much like the Green Lantern part of this series, although the end of this was better than that. A faster than light universe wrecking serial killing super beast - how do you stop it, that is the problem. This novel cleverly involves his aunt Iris, the Justice League, and The Flash. It is really intriguing to see a writer delve at length into what he is thinking while superspeeding, which ... Read More
Rating:  - Just too goofy
Was it Wally West portrayed as a greater whiner than even in his most whiny days in the comics?
Was it the awful characterizations of the other JLA members, speaking and acting not at all like their comic (or cartoon) counterparts?
Was it the big deus ex machina at the end that helped defeat the villain, change DCU continuity, and resolve all of Wally's character woes?
Was it other odd continuity gaffes, like suggesting that Iris Allen has never actually met Batman? ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Super-Hero Novel
The Flash was the first of the every-man super-heroes (i.e. what if a regular guy had an accident and got super powers), which includes characters like Spider-Man. In this story Wally on an almost spiritual lever, like Luke Skywalker. The villain is a high-tech Frankensteinian creation of science gone awry. I hope that there will by more novels of the Flash as good as this one.
Rating:  - Deus ex Quantumachina
Were it not for the horrible ending, this book would have been a solid four stars.
Following up on Mythos, the Flash gets his solo effort in the JLA novels. The author does a good job focusing on the Flash without ignoring the other members, or going out of the way to remove them from the scene so the Flash can take center stage.
The Flash is nicely presented as a younger hero, very powerful yet insecure against the legends of the JLA, and the otherworldy antagonist is effectively ... Read More
Rating: - badass
easily one of the best superhero books ive ever read. there were a few minor problems i had with the book, like others have said, batman seemed tacked on, but the book more than delivers on what it promises. the flash is great in this book, and the very human problems and insecurities seem like exactly what the flash would think. overall, a very good and engrossing story.
