In The Flash #22, Barry Allen is worried due to the deaths of the three people that have occurred. All of the three victims were associated with the speed force along with Iris and Barry. As The Flash, Barry visits Iris at work and tells her that he will protect her from the unknown perpetrator. After giving Iris a Flash suit of her own, they look for evidence as to who may be responsible for the murders. They find a piece of evidence and bring it back to crime lab where Barry's girlfriend, Patty, examines it. The Flash knows it needs to investigate the situation further and tells Iris to remain with Patty at the lab for her own safety. Barry further investigates the mystery and discovers that an individual wearing his symbol who is called Reverse-Flash is responsible for the murders. Dr. Darwin Elias, who blames Flash for his misfortunes as a scientist, is confronted by Reverse-Flash but the Flash arrives quickly to prevent Dr. Elias from being harmed. Reverse-Flash quickly gains the advantage in a physical confrontation with the Flash. Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato continue their run on The Flash with another good issue. The book maintains its excellent artwork in this issue as it has since issue #1 of the title. The Flash #22 is an interesting comic book because the Reverse-Flash character is revealed in addition to the issue's incredible artwork. The Flash #22 is available now.
