A Flash Christmas issue? Yes!
Santas with guns? Oh, Yes!
Murderous Santas wearing Hawaiian shirts and matching Bermuda shorts? Yes, please!
Christmas is rapidly approaching Keystone City and the thermometer is approaching triple digits! With this holiday heatwave, crime is on the rise. And this means Wally West is being run ragged!
This also means bad things for Wally and his girlfriend Linda Park. Being the Flash keeps Wally from meeting Linda's parents. Any time spent together is tense and terse. And Wally missed the Christmas party Linda planned! Could it get any worse?
Absolutely!
This was a good holiday themed Flash. Mark Waid (Superman) crafted a very fast paced story that perfectly balances the holiday spirit and superhero comics. But I was very disappointed that the secret behind the heatwave wasn't addressed.
Okay. Maybe this is just a normal heatwave. But there's a scene where after Wally decorates his Christmas tree and you see what looks like this haze steaming off of the holiday lights. I thought it would have been really awesome if Heatwave or Weather Wizard or one of the Rogues had fixed up the town's lights to generate heat. Alas, that didn't happen here. But it would have been a great way to bend this plot line around.
Enjoyable read but I had other ideas on how this could have/should have turned out.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
