“I thought we were done with all the trippy science stuff” – Irey West
In spite of Irey’s quote, this volume of THE FLASH continues to be more than a little trippy – but we do have at least one thing confirmed that explains some of the strange happenings. Wally battles Weather Wizard, while Wally continues to be in the Watchtower – and that’s not the strangest thing going on. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Wally battles Weather Wizard, to find that Weather Wizard also has some enhanced powers. He is able to create a magical weather barrier that cuts off Wally from his powers…which he shouldn’t have anyway in Skartaris. Wait, what?
In Skartaris, none of the Flash Family powers should work. But, they do when they are near this new dog that has “always” been around. Of course, Foxy the dog hasn’t always been around, but memories have been altered by this amazing doggo. Turns out, when the Deep Change had it’s own change, we got Foxy – a dog with some pretty amazing powers of its own. As Jai put it, “It’s the most awesomely creative force conceivable. It’s the seed of a new everything”.
The battle between Flash and Weather Wizard ends with help from Linda…and from the Warlord. Yes, we see him helping out…though there seems to be something a bit off about him.
Meanwhile, Irey has figured something out…everything out…all the rage around the world and all the strange happenings in Skartaris…and she wants to go to the Watchtower with the news. It’s a bit trippy, as Irey tries to go it alone and needs Jai’s help to make it safely.
…And if this seems like I’m leaving out a few things, that’s on purpose…but it’s also the story, that leaves us anxious to see what happens next issue.
NOTES:
- Irey and Jai finally put aside some of the sibling arguments and work together – and that is most welcome. As part of that, they discuss their new powers…and the nature of Foxy the dog.
- Apparently sliding sideways in/out of existence is still possible…glad Irey and Jai are still okay.
- There are a lot of things happening at once here, but it looks like all those threads are getting ready to come together very soon.
SUMMARY:
I’ll give this issue an 8/10 – of course, that’s just my opinion. What do YOU think? Leave your comments below!
