The Flash: Wonderland
By Brian Reaves (Anniston, AL USA)
Somehow this story slipped by me and I didn't catch it when it originally came out, but Wonderland is a killer story. It opens up with Flash captured by the Police and put in jail, but he has no memory of how he got there or why his powers are acting strange. Worst of all, he's being locked up by one of his own rogue's gallery as a cop! Even his uncle Barry Allen (the best Flash there's ever been) is against him. From there, the mystery deepens and Flash is forced to team up with two of his most hated villains to escape this nightmare world he's entered. I don't want to give away too much because part of the fun is uncovering the mystery. I'll say this much: it's one of the better collected storylines I've read this year.
The story is well-done, and the artwork is superb. I thought I knew where this was going, but the ultimate mastermind behind it all was a complete surprise to me. It's a fast-paced story told through 6 issues of the Flash comic book, and I'm glad I waited until this release to read it. I think the suspense would have been too much having to wait a month at a time between chapters! Highly recommended.
