Towards the tail end of this collection all Johns can do is recover some of the same ground from earlier issues and undermine the emotional stakes he worked so hard to earn. Dose is eventually replaced by Howard Porter who does a better job but by then its Johns who has stalled out. To begin with, the contrast between Scott Kollins, who wrote the previous 31 issues, and Alberto Dose is stark and never gels with Johns' tone. Volume three, which concludes Geoff Jones run on The Flash just doesn't hold up. The art is gorgeous and the storytelling crackles. Volume 2 of this series might be my favorite run by any writer/artist combination.
