Flash #14 with the use of flashbacks and other characters/scenes help to take the focus off Barry Allen. One look at page four will tell you the Flash's should change his course of action. This is a perfect way to introduce Solovar and it's nice to see Iris again. I almost forgot about Dr. Elias and he had a good cameo.
The writing was good although it took me a second read through to accept the pages Solovar was narrating. In a way this issue is more about him than the Flash. Solovar message is unclear could he be saying that the Speed Force itself is dangerous to use or just future events through it. A conversation between Solovar and The Flash next issue might shed some light on Solovar's words.
As usual the art carries the issue while page four looks great visually it tells you things will not go a The Flash's way especially if you know the cover for Flash #15 . Page eleven has is the best drawn in the issue with The Flash speeding around Gorilla Grodd. The Speed Force energy coming off of Grodd is red and combining with the fact The Flash is losing his costume once he makes contact with it. Does that mean Grodd is using the negative speed force from the previous series. I do not like the design of Solovar he just appears to be a normal gorilla. How is he suppose to battle Grodd without weapons or even armor. No arguments with this cover though one nitpick might have it show a bare hand.
Flash #14 was good but it left more questions than answers. How can the Flash and his allies stand up to Grodd in their condition. Daniel West character just gives me an uneasy feeling I think he will become a villain. I am not a fan of credits at the end.
