This issue of THE FLASH picks up two different threads. First, we pick up “The War for Earth-3” with the Johnny Quick of Earth-3 getting ready to raid the Flash Museum. And at the same time, we pick up from the end of last issue as Linda makes a significant discovery about her own abilities. This issue sets up a lot of what’s coming for the rest of this storyline – and in a way it helps to set up the rest of the big 2022 plans for DC. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
DC has posted several preview pages from next week’s issue of The Flash, and you can see them at Adventures In Poor Taste. The issue is the third part of the “War for Earth-3” story which has spun out of the Suicide Squad book, though the story also continues where the last Flash issue left off. Linda’s just learned that she has speed, but she’s got bigger problems to worry about: the fact that Wally and the kids have mysteriously disappeared. Check it out at the link!
