The Flash
admonition : pamperer forThe Flash#50
Bad news program , fans ofThe Flash : the playfulness of having Wally West back in the spotlight is going to be over shortly . His return to the DC Universe after being written out of the New 52 was too long coming . But already , his prison term as a force for good may be coming to an close .
That ’s based onour audience with writer ofThe Flashcomic Josh Williamson , who teases Wally ’s unexampled path in the wake of DC ’s Flash War issue . The good news is simple : when you ’ve substantiate your tyke have been written out of cosmos by Flashpoint and are still immobilize , forgotten , in the Speed Force , how much worse can things really get ?
The bad news ? Wally West is about to find out .
That ’s right , the former Kid Flash is n’t even capable to enjoy the final verdict from DCconfirming Wally is the profligate Flash Family speedster . Not when he only achieved that title because he was racing to rattle the Speed Force itself , and free his kids , Irey and Jai . A backwash he in reality did n’t win .
Wally failed to free his Kyd , falling victim to the returned Hunter Zolomon ’s master plan . In fact , Wally did n’t just prove unable to free them like he had been , but go on tobreak the Flash power of time travel(meaning he ca n’t rewrite account to save them , either ) .
gratuitous to say , the conclusion of theFlash Waris less than a conclusion for Wally . Because it ’s open what he has to do , and Williamson monish he ’s still not any less heroic to restore his mob .
As this chapter amount to a close , Wally is not only leaving Barry , but for possibly the first time since Rebirth he has a goal ahead of him . A pretty emotionally blame one that buff will be … peradventure impatient to see addressed , since this story hinges on the emotion and brat of what Wally ’s dealing with right now . Is his path out of this rule book pop off to be just as heroic ? Or a bit more measured ?
Oh , that ’s rough . I ’m going to say out of those two choice , definitely going to say desperate . It ’s going to be a hard trial for Wally . Issue # 51 is all about Wally , it ’s all about Iris and Wally . Barry is emphatically in it , Kid Flash is in it , Commander Cold is in it , there ’s some other guest stars by other DC characters , but it ’s definitely all about Wally . You ’re going to get answer to a lot of what ’s going on with Wally past this . Because the whole issue , we had that footling two page epilog at the end of this , but really # 51 is all an epilogue to FLASH WAR … I think a lot of the stuff multitude are going to ask and marvel about with Wally , and want to know where he ’s go , and how he ’s doing , what he ’s doing , will all be in # 51 .
That issue will be a must - interpret for fans , but theFlash Warstory could be a sign of things to come from Wally further down the route . As sympathetic as any fan or Father-God may be to Wally ’s extreme actions , the fact remains : he gross out , light upon out on his own , and did n’t justgive Reverse - Flash more power than ever before , but seriously damaged the Speed Force ( and the framework of realness ) .
So when we ask Williamson if there was anything Wally would n’t do , or any line he would n’t traverse to write his child , we were prepared for the worst . While he did n’t confirm one way or another , it sounds like that very motion is one Wally fans may want to ask . And prepare for the answer , no matter what it might be :
We ’re endeavor to change the way these characters work a little bit , and put your stamp on them , add a little twist on them . I remember with Wally , it ’s run to be a crude prison term . It ’s definitely going to be injurious for him , and an worked up rollercoaster ride … Barry went through what he did , Barry had his female parent taken away and he go back in time to adjudicate to fix it , and he caused the Flashpoint which get a lot of trauma . So Barry definitely understand that … I do n’t know , how do you explain that to somebody ? How do you separate someone you have to do this because of this ? It seems so big , it ’s such a large thing . A individual can say ' I ’m run to risk it . '
That ’s fundamentally what Wally did in this story where he was think he was fit to break the Speed Force , and he broke the Force Barrier , and Hunter sort of won that . But I think he front at it and he ’s like , ' I need to be smarter about this , I ’m not go to make the same mistakes that Barry made . But I ’m not just locomote to seat here , I ’m travel to go notice them . I ’m go to reckon this out . '
