In Summary:
The Flash: Rebirth series continues to paint Barry Allen in a bad way as someone you try to hang out with and do things with for awhile but eventually just start to ignore because he never gets back to you. There's a good deal of help being thrown his way this time around as people try to help him solve the problem he's going through, but he's resistant to them for the most part and then when things start to get rough, he bolts out on his own to rejoin the speed force to try and make things better. At the halfway point of the series, I like the overall idea of it but it continues to give me a character that I just can't sympathize with. I can understand him, but the way he handles himself and deals with everyone else just pushes me further away from wanting to read about him. Having an interesting story with an uninteresting character definitely makes this series difficult to enjoy.
