OMG, the DC writers of that era have found my kryptonite---FUN! The sight of those bananas hanging from the title and Chimpulse is turning the emotional side of my brain to absolute mush. Probably banana cream mush.
So. Darn. CUTE! Gah!
And that is just the cover scene!
patience..
patience....
I refuse to sign up for Comixology.
Waiting for solid trade.

Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)

I'll confess I'm not really a fan of apes or monkeys, but there is something hilarious about comically drawn apes (the ones flying through the air/chimpulse) and bananas. Even the name bananas is funny. I don't know why.

I thought Chimpulse was INSPIRED.
JLApe was fun!"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"

Any of those from dead earth on to JLAPE feature a relevant amount of Wally?

Pulp Heroes has Wally in it. It's a romance issue with a great cover. And JLApe is Dark Flash. Not sure about dead earth and ghosts though. Originally Posted by Kyer

98 Annual was a good one too!
Wally gets a visit from Johnny Quick!
The Dead Earth annual doesn't centre around Wally - but the reveal is great. Beautiful JH Williams art too.
The Pulp Heroes annual had a story that involved the Rainbow Raider and was good fun too."My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"

The only annual that left me cold was the first one written by Mike Baron!
Wally for some silly reason learns the 'death touch' only for it to never be mentioned again - which is a good thing!
You can also skip annuals 4 and 5 and not miss out on anything as they are a part of the Armageddon 2001 and Eclipso The Darkness Within crossovers.
Annual #6 was the Bloodlines crossover, which was pretty awful, but did give us Argus - who I loved!
#7 was Elseworlds and was a great Wally/Barry story
#8 was Year One story written by Mark Waid and kicks arse."My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"

I read the news today... Oh Boy.... Latest issue of The Flash, another version of Wally is killed! Hard to stay positive these days with DC
I have no beef with Vegans

DC should just pull a Dark Angel like what happened with Donna and just have someone run around the multiverse killing all versions of him. Originally Posted by upgrayedd

The only positive thing I can find here is that I was able to return all of my The Flash (Rebirth series) books for full cash back. Was starting to feel a little regret as I like Barry well enough and all... but damn does DC seemed determined to drive me away from newer material. Originally Posted by upgrayedd

"NINJAS!" (thank god!)
That bit is still hilarious.
Only worry there is that given the past books I don't see how they are going to do Book #7 unless they decide to include the last books by Waid to fill up the trade.Parental care is way exhausting.
