Wally West: The Flash Appreciation 2022

[Digifiend]

Huh, sounds more important than the regular issue following it, since they mention in the interview that there'll be a revelation about Linda and her powers in it.

Theres a really wack interview or letter column somewhere where Wolfman talks about how much he hated Wally. Wolfman hated writing him too and didn't like his abilities at all so he just didn't care at all. If Barry didn't die, Wally might have never recovered from Wolfman's TT run. Also this isn't even the worst thing Wally says, he is directly racist in front of Roy.

Wolfman talks about making him racist trash on purpose to alienate him from readers and he eventually goes so far as to retire Wally with a disease that took his abilities away. He had the control of Wallys status quo, the Flash writer/editor had none. Wallys Flash run might be confusing to some because it begins with a reference to this odd disease and sort of dismisses it. It also references a horrible romance Wolfman never believed in with Wally and Raven in the same issue.

All that weird **** aside let's not forget that Wolfman also wrote a self insert to marry Donna. This run has about as many issues as Wolfman did lol.

Although Wolfman "The New Teen Titans" series is one of the most classic runs today, not everything is perfect in this run.

Just yoinked that one straight off Reddit, huh?

Yeah, but i wonder how would CBR reacts?

There's not much to say about it. It's pretty well known that Wolfman didn't like Wally and it's why he's written so standoffishly.

I at least don't mind it now because I think it ultimately worked out for the best in building up Wally's character into the man he became.

And most people didn't became fans of Wally cause of the New Teen Titans, so they just tend to ignore that fase anyways.

I'll never understand what was so bad about Waid's second stint. Chain Lightning was incredibly epic and emotional. The evil lost twin thing I just shrug it off as a comic book thing.

By second stint, I meant #231-236 (The Wild Wests).
His return from the year-long title swap with Morrison (#142-159) was pretty solid.

Didn’t Wally have a huge crush on Raven? Growing out of that is major character development, I’d say.

Didn't Raven manipulated Wally to make him think he liked her?

Didn't Raven manipulated Wally to make him think he liked her?

Yeah, it uh...wasn't a completely natural romance. And Wally had a lot of complicated feelings about Raven afterwards.

Wacky sci-fi and romance, too: Jeremy Adams talks ‘The Flash 2022 Annual’

Honestly Jeremy Adams has easily become one of my favourite writers. Mind you he stole my heart with that old school legion of doom issue with Wally slapping Luthor but when I read interviews like this he’s hitting the right buttons.

How ironic is that Wolfman was the guy who killed Barry and put Wally into the Flash boots (after curing him of the very disease he gave him), starting his rise to prominence and eventual popularity. Editorial mandate, I guess.

Hoping someone on here can help me out

A flash in red and silver was used during the grant Morrison jla run, they interested with superman who when telling the team about it, refused to say who it was but that he trusted them


That's all I can remember,

Does anyone know who this flash was

I thought it might be Walter West but they didn't seem villainous

Thanks all

It was Walter West.

Just curious, where did you get the notion Walter was a villain?
