Thanks to everyone who participated in this week’s installation of our “Where Was Wally West?” contest here at Speed Force!  Wally finally showed up last week, and we still had a good time..

We posted a panel from a classic Flash comic, featuring Wally West in an alternate reality, the past or a “possible future”.  Correct answers were put into a raffle, and a winner was drawn at random.  To refresh your memory, here is the latest subject:

This week was a tough one, but a we received a few correct answers as always from savvy Flash fans.  This week’s winner is Eric L.!

 

Congrats to Eric!  This week’s subject was Flash Annual #4, an Armageddon  2001 tie in by Mark Waid and Craig Brashfield.  In a vision of a possible future, Wally West is forced out of retirement to battle a demon from his past, with his son’s life on the line.

With Flashpoint upon us, and major changes for DC Comics heroes on the horizon, Flash fans across the country have been asking the same question: “Where is Wally West?”

On Wednesdays, we will post a panel or sequence from a classic comic featuring Wally West visiting an alternate reality, the past or a “possible future”.  Every fan who can tell us the issue, writer, artist(s) and a reasonable description of the locale/era, by Friday, will be entered into a raffle for a cool Flash prize!

Just send your responses to this email address (whereswally at speedforce dot org), and we’ll announce the winner on Monday!

Where's Wally?

With clasps of solid lightning, the Box of Speed holds the key to some of the deepest secrets and darkest corners of Flash contests…

…and the winner is…

 

Congrats to Esteban!  This week’s answer was Flash V. 2 #169, art by Angel Unzueta and Doug Hazlewood.  In Geoff Johns’ first Flash story, Wally struggles to overcome the challenges of being powerless a mirror world, rife with haunting alternate versions of his friends and enemies…

Esteban has had a big week when it comes to Flash.  He is the man who got the low-down on the lack of Mark Waid on the DC: Retroactive 90′s Flash story, and now he is this week’s WWWW winner!  His site, Comic Verso, is a great source for Spanish-language comic book news, reviews and features.
