So, Wally West is Flash Mk2 (previously Kid Flash) and was
enjoying Christmas with his other half Linda Parks and the Garricks, Joan and
Jay (Grandpa Flash) when the original Flash, Barry Allen appeared at his door.
This wouldn’t seem strange except for the fact that he’s been disappeared for
years. So this comic starts with Hal Jordan (Green Lantern and Barry’s previous
BFF) turning up to grill the returned speedster on where he has been.
Apparently he remembers nothing but one of Wally’s battles with Doctor Alchemy
drew his spirit out of the speedforce and made him whole again. Yeah, cause
that makes sense…. Anyway, Hal believes him as his ring also acts as a lie
detector and everyone is relieved. Though they are keeping the return under
wraps for the moment.

As they are all waving off Hal, Barry spots Pied Piper
walking down the street. He is appalled by his being free and taking a daytime
stroll and so attacks him. Turns out it is all a misunderstanding as since
Barry’s disappearance Piper has gone legit, though Barry seems rather pissed
about this. Not to mention that Wally has taken on the Flash mantle.

Anyway there is no time for arguing as Piper brings news of
trouble in town and the two Flashes suit up. They invite Jay to join them but
his wife drags him off, not letting him skip out on new year’s. Wally is now deferring
to Barry, still obviously idolising him despite having done the job of the
Flash for a while now. Barry however is blowing hot and cold, judging Wally one
moment and then complimenting him the next.

Eventually they get to the crime boss ‘Handsome Jack’ Giacomo,
apparently the vainest man in crime. Turns out that he rents out the same
amusement park every year and wanted the Flash there are protection because he
believes that someone has put a hit on him. Wally wants to slap him but Barry
lecturers him on the law and they end up trying to find the assassins instead,
much to Wally’s annoyance. Wally apprehends the first one, Barry finds the
second and then they end up in a hall of mirrors. They do manage to find the
last assassin, Barry saving Jack and Wally punching the killer.

But once they are done, Jack saved, Barry takes off leaving
Wally to clear up and wondering why. Turns out that Barry is suddenly reminded
of Iris and goes to her grave, leaving flowers and crying. Now this contradicts
with the previous series in which Barry ends up living in the future with a
resurrected Iris. So either he has forgotten about her resurrection of it has
been retconned???

Anyway, Wally fiinds him at the grave and decides that he
really is Barry, having been suspicious all week. Barry says he can still feel
Iris’s presence and tbh the whole thing is canonically screwy all things
considered. Like doesn’t he remember that before Crisis and his death he also
had 2 kids?? And that is all for this issue. Don’t worry I am sure Eobard will
turn up soon.

“This isn’t your home Barry, it’s a mirage, it’s already
screwing with you and everyone you love and pretty soon it’s going to take me
right down along with you. What should we call this brave new world that you’ve
whipped up for us? I was thinking, Flashpoint!
Now who’s the villain Flash!? Who’s the villain!“
OMG! Beardy Eo! Preview trailer can be found Here
I have no idea what’s going on but I don’t care cause he’s back and not dead/erased from history 💛
I have returned! And now to get back to the comic reviews.
This is a full length review detailing the plot of the below comic, many spoilers!
The following parts can be found here; PART 2, PART 3, PART 4, PART 5, PART 6, & PART 7
At the end of the first series of the Flash (which you can
find HERE) we found Barry Allen (the Flash) traveling to the future to be with
his resurrected wife Iris who had previously been murdered. Our favourite
villain Eobard Thawne (aka Professor Zoom/Reverse Flash or Zoomy as I like to
call him after he was nicknamed that by his friend in the comics) was dead
after Barry murdered him for trying to kill Barry’s fiancé Fiona Webb.
As you might be able to guess, considering all
my reviews are about Zoomy he returns in Wally West’s run of comics as the
Flash. Wally becomes the Flash after Barry is killed, melting into the speedforce
during Crisis on Infinite Earths (Justice League comics).
However, he turns up during a 7 part arc and so I am going
to have to review the whole damn thing. Now I don’t really enjoy Wally’s run so
please excuse any snark.

Its Christmas and the Flash family are celebrating. Wally
West (Flash Mk2 /previously Kid Flash) is dragged out for some festive heroing
by his friend and fellow speedster Jay Garrick (Grandpa Flash). Talk turns to
Wally’s girlfriend, Linda Park, and if he’ll propose, but it’s looking
unlikely. She does know his secret though. So both Flashes go and help out at
the local soup kitchen and doing other good deeds, chatting the whole time. It’s all good family festive
fun, though Flash mk2 is whining about how he isn’t a kid anymore and Santa no
longer loves him.

Flash mk2 saves a woman from getting run over, only to
discover that she has gone into labour and her husband has fallen in with a bad
crowd and is planning a robbery. They can’t move the girl, so Grandpa brings
the doctors from the hospital to her (seems irresponsible to me, like what if
they were in the middle of treating someone??). And then Flash mk2 goes to stop her
husband, Joey, from doing something stupid.

The Flashes look for Joey but he’s already clocked off from
his job as a mall Santa. He manages to steal the money but gets stopped by a
kid who’s only wish for xmas is that his dad wasn’t in jail. This pulls all the
right heart strings and Joey can’t go through with it. But then his mobster
friends arrive, feeling betrayed they open fire. The boy and Joey run only to
be saved by the Flash Mk2. The Flashes sort out the money and the boy whilst
Joey goes to find his wife. She has now had the baby and all is good with the
world (blerghhh).

The comic ends with a heart- warming get together with
Wally, Linda, Jay and his wife Joan. It’s Christmas and all is good, Linda got
Wally something he wanted and they are just kissing when the doorbell goes.
They open the door and standing there in his Flash costume is original Flash
Barry Allen!!!

Barry and Eo in The Flash – Rebirth #1.
Not really as it’s just a hallucination and it’s actually his captain talking to him.
I had some money left from an Amazon voucher and decided to spend it on this adorable Flash kids book. The book is DC comics super heroes, The Flash: Attack of Professor Zoom by Matthew Manning, published by Raintree.
The plot is that Eobard Thawne aka Professor Zoom is inpersonating the Flash whilst robbing banks and starting fires. Barry tracks him to the Flash museum, overloads his death trap and knocks Eo out, bringing him to justice.
This book is really cute and part of a series of Flash books for kids. It’s written in a really simple and charming way and even has little activities for children at the back, encouraging them to think about parts of the story and write stuff. The only thing I found odd was the Professor Zoom info page. It reads like someone has just cherry picked bits from his Wiki page. It also says he has yellow eyes, whilst saying he looks like Barry (something that got quickly reveresed in the comics on both occasions it happened).
But generally adorable and there are books for most of the villains available.
