What a bittersweet ending to the Manapul-Buccellato run. Not all my questions were answered, but Buccellato will be writing a few more issues that will hopefully tie up all the remaining loose ends. I also can't complain about what this issue did not contain, because what it did contain was amazing.

Great Review Ed! I agree with your take on this issue. I focused (like DallinTurner mentioned) on what was in the issue, and not on what I thought might be missing.....
<<<<<(Spoilers ahead)>>>>>
I liked the focus on the emotion of the event, rather than some physical altercation. When Iris calls Reverse Flash a "Monster", brother realizes he's not saving his relationship with his sister, but fracturing it forever. At the end of the issue, he seems to have forgotten that moment (as we all have experienced in our lives as well) and wants to do the same all over again if he gets the chance....but I think that is because he's already ruined his relationship with Iris for the previous murders committed as Reverse Flash.
While a knock-down, throw-down between the two would have been epic for the eyes, it would have been lacking in the heart.
What I found very interesting in the issue was The Flash's theory that running forward channelling R-F's energies from the Speedforce would "right the wrongs" is subjective at best. I expect at some point in the future The Flash will try this with a less than desired outcome......but it didn't reverse the previous murders, only Daniel & Iris' Father being murdered.
I will truly miss Francis Manapul's artwork & Brian Buccellato's colors. They create a perfect blend of beauty and action that tells stories in a most unique way. Good Luck to them on Detective Comics!!
