The Return of WildCATS and All the Delicious Contradictions Of The DC Timeline in Flash #750 (Spoilers)
Okay, so we saw a lot of this last weekend on Bleeding Cool. But we have much better definition now. And a better look at how the DC Comics Timeline is being rewritten, redefined and full of intention contradiction. All the editorial cock-ups of recent months, lampshaded, weaponised and turned into strengths, courtesy of Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth…
The return of the original WildC.A.T.S. to the DC Universe, as well as Gen-13, Deathblow, Union and Stormwatch. Should please the new solo publisher Jim Lee…
Two versions of Wally West and his close family, simultaneously.
Both the Marv Wolfman/George Perez and the New 52 versions of Teen Titans… not parallel dimensions but both existing, somehow, in the same timeline.
The changed wrought by Doomsday Clock...
As well as Crisis, Zero Hour and Knightfall…
And including the high collars of the New 52. How much will this survive by Free Comic Book Day and in the light of Dan DiDio's absence? Ah, there's the rub…

Flash #750 is out today from DC Comics… I bought mine from Piranha Comics in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Piranha Comics is a small south London comic store chain with a small south-east store in Kingston-Upon Thames's market centre, which runs Magic The Gathering nights on Fridays, and a larger south-west store in Bromley, which also runs Magic nights and has an extensive back issue collection and online store.
