Wally West has never been quicker, more fulfilled, more heroic. His loving family is around him. And yet something is off. Very off.

A new era for the Scarlet Speedster begins now from the team of Si Spurrier (Coda, Damn Them All) and Mike Deodato Jr. (Avengers).

Worse, Starro has assembled a Suicide Squad of his own to conquer this new set of realities. With a time machine and a tough, scary, alternate-universe Harley at her side, maybe—just maybe—she can make things right again. And who the heck gave Harley Quinn a time machine in the first place? The answer needs to be seen to be believed! Harley’s timehopping, universe-screw-upping adventure cannot be missed! Collects Multiversity: Harley Screws Up the DCU #1-6.
