Does the 'Flash Forward' digital trade also have the New epilogue?

Yes it does !

Found some pages from it. It looks good.

I'm kind of disappointed it fell through and curious what we would have gotten. Although I am glad it hasn't been completely disregarded and Wally is in DM with some acknowledgement of it.

When i did my marathon of Flash volume 2 a few years ago, something that i noticed in Waid and Johns run was the constant mention of Wally's children, wich i think that it started when Waid wrote "The Life Story of Barry Allen", about how his daugther would be a great hero but his son would be a tragedy, even Thawne said something similar in Johns Rebirth, so was it ever explained what happened?.

I don't remember anything about that in Return of Barry Allen.

In Waid's run he was referencing his potential future of Kingdom Come. Where Wally's son (In Waid's canon named after Barry) is a nihilistic disappointment compared to his daughter (named after Iris) does everything in her power to make her dad proud.

Johns is the one who created the idea that Jai would be a tragedy and Iris would be the hero in Rebirth. And he set it up by giving Iris powers, setting Jai up to be ostracized or feel inadequate. But it hasn't come to fruition, obviously, since everything to do with Wally and his family was scrapped with Flash Rebirth.

Iris and Jai had both powers, but Iris took them because she wanted to save her brother right?

As far as I remember Jai has no interest to become a Superhero, but they said that he could become the new TURTLE one day.

Jai lost his Speed Powers, but had some kind of shapeshifting right?

Jai actually loved being a superhero and used all his free time training to the point it concerned Wally a bit. I assume the whole thought process behind him becoming the new Turtle Pre-Flashpoint would have revolved around his resentment and anger towards Iris for taking his share of their Speed Force connection.

He also seemingly appeared as a hero version of the Turtle in the final issue of Doomsday Clock for whatever that's worth.

Jai lost his Speed Powers, but had some kind of shapeshifting right?

Before he lost his powers, Jai could accelerate the growth of his muscle tissues to gain super-strength. I believe Williamson even acknowledged Jai's powers were the inspiration for how the Strength Force worked in his current run.

Full cowl or exposed hair?

I miss the full cowl on Wally, though I understand the reasoning. Then on the other end, Barry has the full cowl, but I can't stand the two lightning bolts on his mask depending on the artist. It's too bug-y.

Yeah. And since it was supposed to be from an FCBD comic, let's share it, here you go, guys! The seven brand new pages.

I prefer the exposed hair, I know he has the more history with having the full cowl but I genuinely like the difference of his having his hair exposed and it running in the wind. It’s an esthetic difference.

[Kyer]

With a secret identity the full cowl makes a lot more sense.
However, I'm seriously attracted to ginger-to-full red hair so I'm loving the open look.
On the other hand, Booth tends to draw his hair like a mess of party ribbons stuck in a vase which I'm no more fond of than the onion eyes or elongated limbs. Elongated limbs should only be drawn on Dibny and Plastic Man.

Does Wally still have a secret identity?

I mean he probably does but only because people don’t remember he exists, I assume that gives you a great secret identity because of lack of identity. But he did reveal himself in a video to the news during Heroes in Crisis and then went to jail so.....they probably know who he is.

If pre-Flashpoint memories are restored to the populace, then his secret identity would be gone anyway. He didn't have one for most of his time as the main Flash.

He did pre-Flashpoint. He got it back in the last third of the Johns run.
