It’s time to make a tough choice that will launch the Flash into his most incredible mission yet: a siege on the 25th century stronghold of Eobard Thawne!

Summary from Goodreads.
Barry has screwed up again. Is it just me or does every ‘Flash’ story revolve around Barry doing something stupid or not telling someone the full story. For the first few times I found this okay to cope with as it shows Barry’s inability to realise that he creates all his own mistakes, but now it just seems like there is nothing more to The Flash.
In Volume 4, we find Barry facing the Reverse Flash again but this time Eobard Thawne raises the stakes by involving the people who are closest to Barry. Whilst the pacing of what occurs worked, what actually occurred just did not make much sense.
The art style for the previous 3 volumes was not very pleasant and did not suit the story or just The Flash. Unfortunately, more of the same continues for volume 4.
If you have enjoyed the previous 3 volumes of The Flash, then volume 4 is very much along the same lines.
3/5
