Ever read a comic where you go back and think, “I really wish they had just a couple more pages to work with?” The pressures of publishing can contribute to a page count that doesn’t always allow everything to show up in the story. Still, the overall story is great. It’s just that nagging feeling about one little bit of plot you wish had shown up in print. That’s where I am with this issue. It’s still a great story, and frankly, the best FLASH title in print today. But, I am getting ahead of myself just a bit. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Eclipso is more powerful than at any time in his history. Nothing the Flash family has been able to throw his way has stopped him. An army of Wallys has done nothing but feed cannon fodder to Eclipso. Is there anything that can stop him? Wally is finally beginning to realize what he needs to do, but is it too late? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
ABSOLUTE FLASH takes a step back this issue, to bring you an origin story of sorts…for the Rogues in the Absolute Universe. How did they get here? What made them take on the job of tracking Wally? And, how did they get so powerful? This issue clears up a lot of those questions. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
This series is just getting better by the issue. ABSOLUTE FLASH takes familiar names and places, and turns the entire old narrative on its ear. Long-time FLASH fans can enjoy all the Easter Eggs as they appear, and new fans have a fantastic story to follow. Wally has found his way to Iron Heights, but don’t worry. It’s not the Iron Heights you remember. And before this issue is over, you’ll find some more familiar names showing up in new and unusual ways. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
One thing we can confirm from this issue. This isn’t the Flash…or at least the Flash we knew. What happened to Wally? Not just how did he change, but what happened to Wally? This Wally isn’t acting like the Wally West we knew, and there’s a lot more to this version we see right now. It’s looking grim as Eclipso’s plans appear to be heading to fruition. Is there hope for Flash? And for that matter, is there hope for the Earth? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
Wally West is on the run, being chased by the Rogues – but it’s a very different Wally and Rogues than we’ve ever seen before the ABSOLUTE universe was born. Wally is close to being captured, but he will find a most unlikely ally, and I can’t wait to say more about that (but that’s spoilers, and those are saved for below the jump). This is quite possibly the best issue yet in the series – wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
