"LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE" Chapter One
A new storm brews over Central City and disproves the old adage about lightning never, well...you know. Just as Barry begins to feel overwhelmed fighting crime, a new speedster debuts-but just where did this amazing new friend come from?
FLASH FACT: "2016 is the 60th anniversary of Barry Allen becoming The Flash, and it's a privilege to be a part of it," says writer Joshua Williamson. "'The Return of Barry Allen' in FLASH #79 [1993] is one of my favorite comics of all time. It's where I became a Flash fan for life."

I guess wondering where Barry was going to get the lumber and dishwashers and sofas to rebuild all those peoples houses is the kind of deconstruction we're not supposed to be engaging in in the new Rebirth world.

Art is decent, but preview didn't impress me much. Still, always nice to see Barry helping people.
There's a Time For Peace, and Then There's a Time To Punch Nazi Scumbags in the Face!!

"My best friend Wally West." Poor Hal
.
It sounds like Barry is ready for a new partner, and that Wally told him about Wally's own tenure as The Flash in the old universe at some point.

Dynamics between Barry and Wally changed due to age shift it seems. I'm alright with best friends/ brother angle, they are obviously going for new 52 Dick/Bruce type of relationship here.

Very good issue. I like the panel layout. Story until the last page very down-to-earth. Barry rescuing people from houses on fire and working on relationships.
And then another lightning strike!
Joshua Williamson already said in an interview, that there will be more people hit by a lightning and some will be good and some will be villains.

Aw, nooooo-ho-ho.
Nice preview spoiled by an affirmation that the speed force was created by a human and not a natural part of the universe from the get-go. Stupid.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.)

That can't be correct. Maybe Barry just thinks that, but it doesn't jibe with other things

All I remember is it started with Flash: Rebirth and now here in the bottom of that splash panel. Originally Posted by AlexanderLuthor
