The premise here - a worldwide catastrophe that takes place so rapidly that only speedsters can deal with it - is a good one. It brings in essentially the entire Flash family, teaming up against a new foe that's almost as fast as they are, and has some defences against their abilities. Added to this, there is some decent character material, notably for Evey, although some of the developments early on are sufficiently line-changing that you know some sort of Reset button has to be hit before the end. There are some clever ideas in here, and the broad cast of characters helps. (This is particularly notable in the special issue, which deals with events elsewhere while the main story is going on as well as filling in the villains' backstory). Overall, it's a fun story that, appropriately enough, keeps up the pace all the way through.
