The Flash #50 Preview / Discussion (Spoilers)

[Cmbmool]

Yes, but I fail to see your point.

The Top and Barry’s choice to have him mind wiped ?

[Denirac]

Hasn’t DC recon Barry’s COIE death due to the events of Convergence ?

Nope- I’m pretty sure Convergence was Retconned in Superman Reborn and other books

[FlashEarthOne]

Forget the multiple "forces." I also don't like the idea of the Speed Force being separated from the Space/Time continuum.

In this issue I only really liked the speed feats and the return of Bart. I really dislike the way that Williamson writes Barry more and more with each issue. Flash #50 is probably the dropping off point for me. I stopped reading during the middle of Venditti's run and started again with Williamson. Maybe I'll read a Wally series or jump back on when Williamson is gone.

As if all these folks could NOT co-exist. Meanwhile Peter Parker and his little brother-Miles are playing together to the tune of a movie and decent selling trades.

I feel like it's a tad disingenuous to say that Peter and Miles are co-existing hunky dory when you look at MCU Spider-Man stealing Miles supporting characters/story beats or Miles saddled with "Kid-Arachnid," no codename, or having to be a co-star in his own movie whenever he's in something with Peter.

I lived this arc and what Williamson has been doing on Flash. I was so freaking excited at Bart's return...I literally jumped up and down. Bart is back and is Impulse again! Freaking awesome!
I don't care if Max Mercury, Johnny Quick or Wally's kids return (especially Iris and Jai...sorry).
But if they bring Jay back that is all I need (besides the Reverse-Flashes: Rival, Thawn, Zolomon, Inertia....Daniel West for Kid Flash) and that would be perfect for me. I know Godspeed, Negative Flash, Lady Flash and Avery Ho are still out there so we don't need any other speedsters, really. Just the core Flashes.

It is kind of hard to bring Bart back without his history with Max. Seems even more necessary than Jay to me. I'm not even a big fan of Max.

Dude, you may need to guide me to your actual point here, cause I'm not getting there alone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Barry was on the Justice League team that agreed to have Dr Light's mind wiped in Identity Crisis

[RepHope]

Probably the most solid ending to an event for me since Superman Reborn. Loved this arc, and am happy to see Bart is back.

[Sacred Knight]

Impulse??? Like, original Impulse before Johns got his hands on him??? Really hope this sticks. It'll give me some hope we could eventually get a pre-Johns Kon-El back too.

[Sam]

This issue was fantastic and it really might secure this as one of the best Flash stories since before Infinite Crisis. Wally was awesome, Barry was awesome, and the conclusion was so damn satisfying. I can't wait to see what Williamson has planned down the road, especially for Bart and the Rogues, who he has teased he will be putting the spotlight on as individuals, which should be interesting.

To be fair, I think Bart got a lot of his old Impulse attitude back when he returned in Legion of 3 Worlds (written By Geoff Johns).

At least that's what I remember .

[Buried Alien]

Well to be fair it was Barry who destroyed Wally's life in the first place. That is just a cold hard fact. Barry messed up the timestream by being selfish witch not only trapped Wally in limbo it also wiped out his kids and made his wife forget everything about their life. If anything Wally should hate Barry more than Zoom and Hunter combined since he did more to hurt him than they ever did.

Barry is least interesting flash and least popular with fans. They have to make him more like wally every medium to make him interesting. Johns is madly in love (well as character) with barry allen. They don't seem to care if fans or other creators feel the same way.

Master Luke speaks for me.

Sometimes, I try to argue with the Wally-worshippers when they twist the facts.
Other times, I just give up.

Wonder how things would have been if there was an internet community when Barry died and Wally replaced him back in '86. (Life was much simpler then.)

Impulse!!!
