"Your Life is My Business" from The Flash 80-Page Giant closes out this volume, getting a little bit meta, brought to you by Mark Millar, (Wally West), Ariel Olivetti, Tom McCraw, and Bob Lappan.

The Flash shares a drink with a Scottish madman.

The Flash Wally mopes around and is very very sad in the fridge-iest storyline that ever fridged, not counting the original GL fridge storyline. I continue to be struck by how this story arc seems to be the blueprint for Wally’s trajectory of late.

The Flash This issue/arc had a lot of interesting elements, but I think the highlight was the art, especially in the first two parts. The imaginary friend angle seemed like it would pay off thematically in a big way at some point...but never quite got there.

The Flash Most of this issue is spent with Wally running a race he can’t lose because the earth will be destroyed if he does. Somehow, even though we can safely assume ends well, tension still abounds.

The race goes on in The Flash from Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, Ron Wagner, John Nyberg, Tom McCraw, and Gaspar Saladino.

Wally and Krakkl race across time and space. And a speedster falls.

The Flash This issue was easily the highlight of the crossover for me. The rehashing everything via a trial convention is fine, if a bit familiar, but the motive of the defense attorney tied to the military industrial complex is really well done.

Green Arrow Part one of this crossover story was a whole lot of discussion and setup; part two is almost entirely action, with Green Arrow at the center since it’s his book. Really enjoyed Will Rosado’s art with Sal Buscema inking.

Green Lantern Crossover! Wally, Kyle, and Connor go on a boys cruise to Alaska where they talk about ladies and love, with Wally and Kyle bickering like an old married couple. Of course, superheroics ensues, because comics.

The Flash I almost didn’t get to this tonight because I was so tired from moving...however! This reading project marches on, or should I say speeds on toward a confrontation with Mirror Master. What’s that? I shouldn’t? Okay...did I mention I’m tired?

The Flash This was a good end to this three-issue story. The concept of an evil costume is an inherently goofy one, and the comic takes the science behind it just seriously enough to make it work. Great Silver Age feel, too, which I bet is the point.

We run back in time a bit to '97 as Grant Morrison & Mark Millar begin their run on The Flash in with Paul Ryan, John Nyberg, Tom McCraw, and Gaspar Saladino.

A wacky villain has killed the Flash in the future and the Flash fam only have 60 minutes to save him.

JLA The thundering conclusion, um, concludes in this issue. I’m sure plans evolved as the books were created, but this really feels like such a well-planned story, with everything from Zauriel to Aztek coming to bear in the end. Fantastic.

JLA Getting tough to find new things to say about this crashing finale. It’s big. It’s epic. It’s a perfect culmination of the accessible superhero storytelling that has made this run so engaging throughout.

It's the penultimate chapter of Grant Morrison and Howard Porter's run on JLA in as Mageddon looms in the sky and the world teeters on the brink of annihilation. Morrison, Porter, Drew Geraci, Pat Garrahy, Heroic Age, and Ken Lopez pour gasoline on the fire.

JLA Everything I’ve said about the last few issues in terms of grandiosity and excellent pacing holds true again. It just goes to show the value of having interesting, well-planned ideas under your big set pieces to make them more consequential.

JLA Fantastic issue. I know there’s a lot left to go, but hot damn the finale for this run so far has just been so so well-paced. It’s also just loaded with giant visual superhero moments (punches!). Really enjoying this ending.

Chaos reigns as windows of war open up across the globe and beyond. The Watchtower goes boom. Panic in the streets. Human sacrifice. Dogs & cats living together. Mass hysteria in JLA from Grant Morrison, Howard Porter, John Dell, Pat Garrahy, Heroic Age & Ken Lopez.

JLA As you can see from the art here, this is a real rumble of an issue, with everyone basically both taking and giving punches. There is a reveal of Mageddon here before we close on Batman prepping to fight Prometheus.
