Wally’s “Flashes of Insight” have served him well…so far. He has made Central City a safe place. I mean, truly safe. Absolutely nothing goes wrong in Central City. Thank you, Flash! Oh, and Metropolis is just as safe now! Thank you, Flash? And even Star City…no thanks, Green Arrow, thank you…Flash? Wally means well, but is he going too far? We’ll get the answer in this issue, along with some JL members who aren’t too happy about what our favorite speedster is doing. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Where were we? Oh, yes! Hunter Zolomon was getting ready to end Wally’s life! In the Absolute Universe, Zolomon can see just far enough into the future to know every move Wally is about to make. Wally can’t get a break, and things are looking bleak for him. That’s just part of what’s going on in this issue – and something you may have taken for a fact before may turn out to be…well, wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
Wally doesn’t just save the day anymore. No, he makes sure nothing bad ever happens in the first place! It’s worked in Central City, so why not expand? That brings Wally to Metropolis, home of Superman! Does Superman (Jon, before becoming Tomorrow Man) really need him? Will Wally be able to fix everything in two cities? And, what will his superhero friends think about the effort? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!

This is one of the most fun issues of THE FLASH I’ve read in a while – and given the current volume by Ryan North, that’s really saying something. There are definite hints of the Wally West we’ve seen in the JLU cartoons (and that’s a very good thing). But beneath all of that, there is a more serious notion that I think we’ll continue to see develop over the coming issues. Can a hero really save everyone, all the time? This old fan who has been reading THE FLASH for over 60 years is absolutely enjoying this storyline – so let’s talk about it. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
I’ve been reading comics for over 60 years (and yes, I am really that old)…but I don’t know that I have EVER been affected as much as I was at the end of this issue. This ending hit me where I live. No, I’m not going to spoil the ending – only mild spoilers for you today. But if you wanna know a little more? Follow us after the jump!
