Synopsis:
This is a single-issue tale, where pre-crisis Wally West meets post-rebirth Wally West. In this the Flashes investigate the event that began in DC Universe: Rebirth.
AWEsomeness:
The plot is amazing, and the cover is a tribute to The Flash #123: Flash of Two Worlds (Sept 1961). The plot syncs well with the art.
My View:
The cover of this book is a tribute to the aforementioned 1961 issue, in which Barry Allen meets Jay Garrick. This issue has a Wally West party in the issue, and more than the meeting, there’s a decent cliffhanger powerful enough to add more volt to the story. Summing it up, the whole issue is an enticing one, laced with big reveals. Joshua Williamson does a wonderful job with dialogue and pacing along with Joege’s lightning-crackling art. A Flash fan would love it, especially the fans of the red-haired Wally!
Rating: 4.9 of 5 stars

This story sounds intriguing, especially with the meeting of pre-crisis and post-rebirth Wally West. I’ve always been fascinated by how DC handles its multiverse and character timelines. The investigation into the event from DC Universe: Rebirth seems like it could reveal some major plot points. I wonder how the dynamics between the two Wallys will play out—will there be tension or collaboration? The idea of exploring the consequences of Rebirth is exciting, but I’m curious if this will tie into larger arcs in the DC universe. Do you think this will have a significant impact on future storylines, or is it more of a standalone exploration? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how this could shape the Flash’s narrative moving forward!
It isn’t just a meeting of two Wallys — it’s the matter of making an identity, a symbolic reconciliation between eras of DC history. This story like every other plays its part in shaping the current DCU, by making their contrasting presence stir major and minor movements in the events like Flash War and Heroes in Crisis. This helps in highlighting the connection of the overall DCU legacy. ☺️
