Also worth mentioning that Kilg%re will be showing up in Cyborg.
OMG! Now that’s great news too. 🙂
Looking forward to this run. Three Flashes to follow, each with interesting stories to tell. I just hope DC gives them the opportunity to do justice to those stories before spinning off to the next inevitable Event.
Now if we can just get Bart/Impulse and my favorite forgotten speedster Jenni/XS back. My pref would be to see them in a Legion series again.
Having Bart & XS back would make me VERY happy!
It appears that DC have finally realised they threw the baby out with the bathwater and are trying to repair what they broke.
We have Barry and Wally back. We have a Kid Flash. We are getting a sense of legacy back in the DCU and it’s about bloody time!
