but not a single one who is a main enemy... i thought blaquesmith and lady flash, but they don't really count, to me, as hardcore, female villians...

Interesting issue... wish there was more though... Kinda simple for the first appearance of Mirror Master. It seems as though I'm gonna be the one synonymous with critiquing pretty harshly. It's great that you're leaving all these threads for the rest of the Rogues but it kinda becomes tired. Remember when Smallville started and EVERYthing was meteor-powered. It got tired and they had to find other ways to give people powers to challenge Clark. So I'm sure there are some characters who will eventually escape being a product of Kenyon's work.
My only other complaint... Tenses... it's more on the editing side. This is the second time that I've caught this... but you switched between past and present tense a couple times. Nothing major... but it's something to watch out for.

Did I never post on this? Sorry Nik! I was without a computer for a couple of weeks (not cool when you wite 2 titles BTW!)...
I enjoyed the story, although I will say that I agree with Superboy when it comes to the number of (future) villains we see & how many of them are tied to Kenyon. We've got Zoom, Mirror master, Capt. Cold, with the makings of Goldface & Dr. Alchemy (did I miss any?)! That's a lot of potential villains for our new hero to deal with! Anyway, I still feel for poor Barry, everyone he knows, with the exception of Wally (where's Wally anyway???) and Iris are villains! Well... and, perhaps, his neighbor.
Tenses... I am guily of this myself, although I will say that yours didn't jump around as bad as mine. It can be a b!tch to overcome too! I mean, hell, you know what you're trying to say, right?
Anyway, I really enjoyed this... good old fashioned silver age style fun! And whatta cover!

well, i kinda disagree. i think the introduction of the villains like this is great.....if it was another character aside from flash, i might agree with you....but the flash villains "the rogues" are almost like regular characters.....and plus, the flash needs multiple villains (almost) always

That's a good point... and I'm not one to judge. I did introduce Hal, Guy, John & Alan in issue 1... then followed up with Sinestro, Kilowog, Kyle & The Tattooed Man... all by issue 5. What can I say, I'm a hypocrit!

well, superboy, superjosh, thequestion, and y fellow writters, all this can only mean one thing people are actually reading my stories!
seriously though, i understand your complaints, but trust me: after issue seven, the status quo of the series will have an infinite crisis, in which barry dies saving the wor- darn, did i just spoil that?
seriously though (this time i'm being serious, kinda) you after next issue you wont be seeing ANY new adversaries for barry until issue 13 or 14... and as for the villains being connected to kenyon, not all is what it seems...not all those villains will be appearing the way you think or, hmm, well i dont want to say any more
but seriously, it'll all come togethor
and you fogot to mention project weather wizard as another connection to keith kenyon
next issue, another rouge will appear, and dont worry, it will all connect and lead up to omac issue 6, and then lead into punisher issue 31, and then finally to infinite crisis, where barry will die
or did i use that bad joke already?

holy snap legends of the flash #5 is posted and i didnt even know!
let the cristisims roll in (official promise by me: captain boomerang will be the last villian to be tied into kenyon- even though boomerang was just hired by him and did not help in his creation)
i planned the series (plotted, by the way, in one or two sentences descriptions) all the ay up to #25, so i know where im going with this, and it was lanned t have the original few rouges to be connected a little with kenyon, who i guess you could say is the main villain throughout the first few issues
he's kinda like flash's lex luthor...only with hair

Now see as someone that was born only 3 years before Barry's death and hense not reading a single Barry Flash issue I am loving this series. I think it's awesome that you can actually introduce a character, explain him, give me action and have it wrapped up in a single issue. It's an awesome quality to have and all the while you have a nice long running plot brewing in the background with Kenyon. Reminiscent of comics when I first started reading. I love it. Not like these comics now where everything is a 6 issue arc. Keep up the awesome work. I think that Flash has moved up to tie GL as my num two legends book. (sorry guys but Wonder Woman is damn good)
