The Flash, Vol. 9: Reckoning of the Forces

Following on from the Flash accidentally bollocksing up an aspect of reality (again) we have what's really two connected stories, each featuring a new Force (Strength, Sagacity) possessing one of the Rogues and causing havoc. The Strength Force half isn't particularly impressive, in part because “strength” is hardly an unusual feature in superhero comics, but the second, which takes place largely in the villain's mindscape, is rather better. What helps both is that there is more to the story than this, with some action for the regular detectives of the CCPD, and reflections on how the alteration of the timeline has affected Iris. The resulting mix strikes the right balance, and makes this a fun read.
