Wally West: The Flash Appreciation 2021

[Digifiend]

I hope they fix those covers. The colourist thought he was Barry, apparently.

[Spider-Ham]

This is not a mistake : Wally is in Barry’s body (it sounds totally weird. Well, I guess it is weird).

And I suspect “Barry” is in fact Wally in Justice League.

The Legion of Doom, Teen Titans Academy, Max Mercury’s Wild West origins, and more! Wally West’s leaps from speedster to speedster throughout time draws to a close as he begins to realize why he’s been sent on his quest by the Speed Force and what might be behind it. But with one last stop before he’s allowed to go home, will this journey break Wally forever or return him to glory?

I was laying in my bed, actually really sleepy, saw that cover, almost screamed, and ran to my laptop because I need to type this properly

WHY

STOP FRICKING BRINGING UP HEROES IN CRISIS

I know everything's canon, and this is a significant event that affect the hero community, but everything is canon happened just so writers can pick and choose which canon to focus on. In other words you can also just move on. This is part of why I don't like DC fixing their story within the story. Just let him fight dinosaurs.

That would explain the fusion imagery.

Lol, sounding like a John Stewart fan talking about Xanshi.

Nah, it was just a mistake. And I assume it's the same with the HiC homage cover because it's not like Barry was there.

[Ilan Preskovsky]

Man, at this point I'm betting even Tom King is thinking, "ok enough with Heroes in Crisis - let's move on people!"

[BohemiaDrinker]

Honestly, I'm thinking Jeremy Adams pitch to DC was "can I fix that"?

[BohemiaDrinker]

That sounds like a line added to the script at the lettering stage after the art came in, as it was too late to fix it.

Letters usually come first, although if they catch it before printing is an easy fix.

It's just Spidey writer always bring up the " ONE MORE DAY" curse to Peter Parker. Everytime he meets with Mary Jane, he couldn't bring up his love for her because of the curse.

[Jekyll]

That story that shall not be named does not exist to one who has never read it

[John Venus]

Seeing all this confusion between the two Flashes makes me appreciate Wally's red suit with exposed hair more.

Nice. Those are the best. Which arcs do you like the best so far? Things about to get really good with the intro of the speed force.

Totally agree. Wally and Linda have one of the most interesting, charming and organic relationships in comics. Loved how they disliked each other in the beginning anf had the best banter. Lois and Clark are one of my favorite couples as well.

'Return of Barry Allen' is my favorite thus far but I really enjoyed 'Terminal Velocity' as well.

They are so great together and it's a romance that feels earned.

That is probably where Waid was hitting his sweet spot.
Everything pretty much from Return of Barry Allen through till the end of Race Against Time is absolute top shelf.
Enjoy!

It's been a great ride so far. I'm up to #105 now.

What DC did to Wally from Rebirth to Heroes in Crisis makes OMD seem like a minor retcon.

Wait until you get to, Dead Heat! My favorite Flash arc!

Is that the planet he destroyed or tribe he killed? I think I heard it mentioned whenever they need him to angst
I was thinking more of Parallax but yeah
