When Barry Met Wally

Wally West is set to appear on the Flash TV Show in this week’s fall finale, so now is the perfect time to look back at how the first meeting of Barry Allen and Wally West has been portrayed over the years.

Silver Age: Flash #110 (1960)

flash-110-when-barry-met-wally-1The cover features the Weather Wizard in his first appearance, while a backup story introduces Kid Flash. Iris West’s nephew Wally — a huge fan of the Flash — comes to visit her in Central City, and she arranges a surprise: Her friend Barry Allen knows the Flash, and he just might be able to introduce him!

It’s a DC comic from the early 1960s, so Wally is basically the 1950s media ideal of a ten-year-old: Well-mannered and wide-eyed, saying “Gosh!” and “Jumping Jets!” and otherwise waiting for his elders to speak. Continue reading →

New Legends Of Tomorrow Trailer

There’s no episode of The Flash this week, but the CW’s gifted us with a new lengthy trailer for Legends Of Tomorrow! It will premiere on January 21st, and is seemingly due for the Thursday night timeslot.

There’s no Flash in this trailer, but we’ve seen from the previous trailer that he may make cameo appearances here and there. The series does have Captain Cold and Heat Wave amongst its core cast, as well as both halves of Firestorm and Hawkgirl (who also made their debuts in The Flash series). And, of course, both The Flash and Arrow have spent a fair amount of time setting up this new series, so you could arguably look at LoT as the culmination of those plotlines.
