Stuff just got real last issue, with the death of [REDACTED]. Barry Allen is determined to save everyone else, but some new (though familiar) players are now in the game. That makes everything more complicated. To steal a quote, “Who lives, who dies, who tells your story”? Looks like we may have a partial answer for all of that in this issue of THE FLASH! Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Wally West has his own series – that’s the very good news. The tough part is that this follows the heartbreaking events of HEROES IN CRISIS. How can you rehabilitate a beloved character who accidentally killed 13 other heroes? How do you heal a broken person in Wally West? This story starts that journey, and it appears to be an epic tale from the very beginning! Want to know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
DC has posted the preview for this week’s Flash Forward #1, and you can read it at Den of Geek. It’s the beginning of the Wally West solo adventures in the Multiverse, which stems from the contentious Heroes In Crisis miniseries. Check out the pages at the link and see what you think.
