I was hoping this would be about Barry Allen’s Flash. Alas, Wally West’s exploits as the World’s Fastest Man are examined in this DC Retroactive. In the lost tale, a delusional woman believes that having the Flash rescue her means that they are now a couple. When he spurns her affection, the lady takes matters into her own hands by single handedly wiping out most of the Rogues!
Then in the reprint tale, it’s a battle against the clock as West goes toe-to-toe with Vandal Savage.
Both story’s were off the wall fun. The personal relationship between West and the Rogues is strange- they have a moral code and the hero will go out for beers with them if they don’t have a pressing warrant. But from tine to time, they’ll bash each others brains out! I love it.
The art was also very, very good. Both stories now have this version on the Flash on my radar and I may very well start collecting his titles soon.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
