If this ever gets turned into an animated series, I would love to see the moment where Wally's costume changed back into his 90's version have a 3d panoramic view as we see him run towards the camera away from the black Flashes. Such an epic moment.
They should have a speedster named Blink. His catchphrase would be “Don’t blink, it’ll be over in a second.” Edit: I just checked to see if Blink was a hero. It’s a Marvel hero.

I am a fellow massive fan of the flash thanks to both the TV show and the comic of recent years. It’s awesome that while he finally gets his due and pretty much voice is what everybody has been saying since Barry returned from the speed force. He was shoved back and Barry took center stage. He was even shoved out of the DC multi-verse following flashpoint. Wally needs his own comic series back and I hope this is the lead in.
Loved this issue. Wally is my favourite DC character
It seems like the good guys are finally starting to win in Death Metal however it's not over until it's over
*Flash Fact:* Barry's future children felt envious and jealous of Wally, saying that Wally's the *favorite son.* Question is... were they talking about favoritism from Barry or the Fans?😏

you and @comicsexplained is on point with these comics !!
Two of the best story arcs for Wally West, were Savitar and the Black flash. The page where his eyes glow and he regains his speed was so sick.

Couple of questions: 1. How and when did jay garrick(pre flashpoint) gain access to the speed force and why? 2. How is it possible that Jay Garrick (new 52) can exist in the same timeline as the original Garrick? And why does he have a connection to the speed force? 3. How are the earth 2(pre flashpoint) and earth 2 (new 52) heroes in the same universe without any spatial temporal paradoxes?
The one-shot tie-in was quite good and solid end to Joshua Williamson 2016-2020 The Flash Run too #TheFlash #DarkNightsDeathMetal
This just gets better and better
I wonder when this is over what will they do with Wally? I know this can be summed up in 2 possibilities 1) put a bridge over and forget everything that happened or 2) continue with your story and deal with the consequences of your actions (assassinations, cover-ups, having a new "power" that must keep under control all the time (I mean that of shooting lightning that kills everyone around him (power that no flash or speedster has shown before or after)), that his identity is no longer secret, the return of his children (and when they find out that their father became a murderer) and many many other things.
