Ok. Maybe i am the only one here who liked. But, it felt like it was genuinely trying to get wally back on his feet.it was cool to see roy and wally moments in the book. I know we are going to get more of that. I got a little bit of red hood and the outlaws kind of feel from it. It surprised me wally would decide to kick ass when the collar broke. I guess, wally can't give up even if he tries. Linda has started to really care for wally atleast. I hope they develop that more in the series. And wally is hailed as the fastest being in the multiverse. The thing that hit home for me was the loneliness he feels.i hope, they atleast have barry reacting to what wally is going through. Overall, it was good issue.Ignoring hic won't work . Lobdell is trying to build of from it.wally's dialogue regarding his costume is due to trauma. He is not ready to be A hero let alone being the flash, it is the last thing wants to do. He is too damned depressed for that. I mean, All the lying on the bed and lacking the energy to get up basically conveyed that.

Lobdell can do no worse to wall then what already is
My name is Wally West. I"m the fastest man alive. I"m the Flash.
Favorite Heroes - 1-Flash/Wally West, 2-Superman, 3-Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, 4-Nightwing, 5-Hawkman, 6-Firestorm, 7-Supergirl/Linda Danvers, 8-Zatanna, 9-Robin/Tim Drake
i do like that wallys identity is public again.
but it does raise the question, what wallys parents are thinking? not knowing they have a son then suddenly finding out they have one and he's in prision for killed a bunch of people.
I thought this was a really solid first issue. Characterization was well handled. It was a little exposition heavy though. Lobdell may actually pull this off.
I get why some people are turned off by addressing the HiC stuff, but that's just where we are storywise. If we want to see an ongoing with Wally having already moved passed HiC, this is going to have to sell well first. That's just the reality.
Of course they do. How would he have been born otherwise?
Remember, DC Rebirth brought him back into continuity. He's part of the current timeline. It's just that he also has memories of the pre-Flashpoint timeline.

Rogue wears rouge.
Angel knows all the angles.
Well I did like it but still not happy that we even have to deal with Wally in this situation.
Thanks. I'm glad u liked it and thanks for sharing your thoughts as well.
As much as the HIC stuff bothered me in this issue if it moves on from there for the rest of the series and it continues with the quality of writing and art that this issue had this series will actually be a pretty good one.
And thats not even talking about that this may maybe, maybe redeem Wally from the HIC mess.

So, as I suspected, they're aiming at giving Wally a "Cosmic" mission statement,l so they can avoid anyone opn the main universe ever having to deal with him or mention his name.
Crappy.
(The fact that he starts at Blackgate makes me think the only reason that suicide squad crap didn't happen was the backlash. But we'll never know.)
ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.
To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!
That would be a good idea. What happened in Heroes in Crisis didn't make much sense - speedsters' powers have never worked that way before.
But the bigger issue is still messing with the bodies, framing people for murder, and releasing his colleagues' confidential therapy sessions/medical information.
With all the exposition about nexus points and the Dark Multiverse corrupting the multiverse, they could easily use that as a way to explain that Wally's actions weren't his own. I'll be frustrated if they don't - it's right there.
I'm pretty sure that whole part, which is clearly the most criminal and damning thing Wally did, is just going to be ignored by Lobdell and DC going forward. Just focus on him accidentally killing the heroes and not mention what else he did. Lobdell implied as much in the podcast he did a while back.
