A showdown with Gorilla Grodd and the Rogues teaming up with Flash is a highlight here. Back to more Manapul art is a plus for sure. Hints are thrown in suggesting the fate of Dr. Elias. The series is building steadily to the payoff when the writers will finish their arc. The art in this book has been some of the most kinetic and beautiful I've seen in a long time, and Manapul will be sorely missed. Dragged a little, but with good artwork and dialogue. Got a chuckle out of the Dial H reference, but since it wasn't notated, it's not noticeable unless you've read both. Also like how this explains Flash's absence in the whole "Throne of Atlantis" arc elsewhere in DCland. Flash continues to stand out against other darker New 52 titles by being about superheroes and supervillains, and not trying to be gritty and edgy.
It has good art, but the story was a disappointment. It could have been done in less than 3 issues.

I would say the second volume was better but the ending here was epic.

Gorila Grood's AMAZING. I love this new version of him.
