Man, Waid was so right, he would have been crucified for this issue if it was released today
>>83635441
Did Wally just kill that guy?
>>83635818
The chopper wasn't that high
>>83635818
oh, spoke too soon. carry on.
>>83635490
>>83635577
Jay was missing too? I thought he was just chilling at home with his waifu. Any particular reason he isn't now?
>>83636015
Jay was in another dimension and returned only recently, which is why he isn't like 80 years old.
Back in the day, did people thought it was then real Barry who was returning?
>>83636015
The entire jsa went to limbo from 86 to 92.
>>83636059
Depends.
I just noticed there is no "The Fastest Man Alive" tagline during this story....until the ending.

Wally can't vibrate through walls? But wasn't the first story in Waid's run all about Wally learning how to vibrate?
>>83636673
His powers are inconsistent compared tp other Flashes until Speed Force kicked in. He can vibrate later on but he blows the stuff up.
Bumping for nifty storytime.

I've never actually sat down and read The Return of Barry Allen (despite having a vague idea of what happens.) Thanks!
Without looking up spoilers, is this guy actually Zoom?
>>83636958
No problem, anon
>>83636970Yes, but the funny thing is that this isn't some kind of master plan, he genuinely believes he's Barry Allen
>>83636970yes
GOAT issue right here
>>83637019
Edge in speed? Yet Barry is the fastest pre-crisis.
>>83635757
I imagine he probably caught a lot of hell for it back in the eighties.
Fans happy to see Barry back, and then he pulls this shit.

Are you posting GL #40 since it was skip.
>>83635790
This one is waaay better than that other Identity Crisis, promise.
>>83637286
Why would I post GL #40?
>>83637313
Is part of the return of Barry allen.

>>83637343
I just looked it up and other than "Barry" showing up it has very little to do with this arc, so no, I'm not storytiming it
>>83636269
I wish The Flash comic was devoted to the Flash Family.
>>83637380
Thawne trolling hal. No problem
>>83636086
Hey was this around the time when Hal was going full Parallax?
>>83637525
Like ten issues prior
>>83637385
New 52 really lacked a lot of heart due to massacre of speedsters not named Barry Allen.

Thassit for today, moar tomorrow
>>83638177
Thanks OP. This really was something special.
>>83638177
Thanks, OP! This was fantastic.
Definitely some of Waid's best work.

FUCKING AWESOME
Bump for late readers cause this was pretty good.
>>83636775
"You keep saying you don't want to replace Barry, but the moment you become as fast as him...that's exactly what you'll have done."
And so, DC nu52 erased all the other members of the Flash Family, so that the poor dumb readers wouldn't get confused and think Barry Allen wasn't the one and only person worthy of the title.
Everytime I read this story, I wish the art wasn't so outdated.
>>83642768
True but Waid/Johns Flash made Wally impossible to erase from DCU's core at this point. They tried really hard but it backfired in the end. Hopefully this will show itself in the movies too now that Johns is taking the control over there.
Thanks, OP.
