The lightning-fast and action-packed “Surge” story line races to its conclusion as Wally West returns to the present day with a new perspective on the past and a reinvigorated desire to take back the mantle of the Flash. With one last hurdle to leap, Wally puts the past behind him, but he’ll need to propel himself further and faster than ever before to do it.
The change is good, I guess. Wally was never really at fault for his powers going unexpectedly haywire. The part of HIC that really needed a retcon was Wally and Lois invading and publicizing the private lives of other heroes. I know Tom King felt there was some kind of justification for it, but to me it was always the worst betrayal in the book (considering that Wally never meant to “frame” or “cover-up” anything. He was stalling for time by creating a scenario where neither Booster nor Harley could decisively be convicted while he filmed a confession and killed himself for his crimes).
