Everything has been shaken up a bit. Wally West has had a radical new artistic and storytelling treatment courtesy of Mike Deodato. And can't you tell that writer Si Spurrier and his partner have had a kid recently? It's not often that the state of Linda West's nipples comes into play in a Flash comic book, though there must have been an issue with speed chafing at some point along the journey.

With Wally West giving his new ability to step outside of reality as "sidestep". All the Flashes seem to be getting new powers these days. Jai West is already using his power to travel through time and space as well.

You will fight them on the beaches, Linda. That is meant to be Winston Churchill, right?
