His name is Wally West. So is his…and his…and his… Okay, not quite, one of them is named F8-3-1459, and they are all fighting a war for the moon! It’s not been going well, and it likely won’t get much better soon, as we are now in the first “Event” of this volume of THE FLASH. It’s called “Bad Moon Rising”. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The Absolute Universe is presenting some of the best storylines DC has to offer – at least that’s true for ABSOLUTE FLASH. Familiar names, sure, but there is absolutely (see what I did there?) NOTHING else you can count on. That brings us to Wally West and his struggle to understand just what in the world is happening to him. Is he a hero? A monster? An innocent caught in the crossfire of fate? A murderer? What we DO know is that this is a gripping storyline that is more than worth a second and third look. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
DC has posted several preview pages from next week’s issue of The Flash, and you can see them at Adventures In Poor Taste. The preview gives us a glimpse of the years-long war Wally and his duplicates have been fighting on the Moon against Eclipso’s forces, even though it’s only been fifteen hours for everyone else. Check it out at the link!

The moon has become a battleground in the war to end all wars.
On one side: Wally West. And Wally West. And Wally West. Using his newfound powerset gained after the Justice League’s battle with Darkseid, he’s split himself hundreds of times, into an army of TEMPS, as Wally keeps going while spreading himself thinner and thinner.
On the other side: Eclipso, reborn in a terrifying new form. After razing Skartaris, he’s built a new army, and taken control of the Moon, in his quest to replace Darkseid as the ultimate expression of existential evil. But, Eclipso isn’t the only one attempting the fill the void left by Darkseid’s death, as the Temp Wally on the Watchtower with the Justice League is fast learning…
It’s a rumble over all sides of the Moon, as the ALL IN era of the Fastest Man Alive enters its first event: Bad Moon Rising!
