Absolute Flash Barry Allen, Not As Dead As We Thought? (Spoilers)
Absolute Flash Barry Allen, Not As Dead As We Thought? (Spoilers) Jeff Lemire superspeed spills the Absolute tea...
Article Summary
- Absolute Flash by Jeff Lemire features Wally West as the main speedster, with Barry Allen presumed dead.
- Hints from Lemire suggest Barry Allen’s fate in Absolute Flash may have a shocking twist yet to come.
- Upcoming Absolute Flash issues showcase major threats, including Heat Wave and the mysterious Rogues.
- Excitement builds as Lemire teases plans for Absolute Flash issue #8 and the series' second year.
In the new Absolute Flash series by Jeff Lemire, Nick Robles, Tom Napolitano and Adriano Lucas, the Flash is Wally West. And Barry Allen? He's dead. Dead down to his bones.
But wait a second, maybe not? In his new Substack newsletter, writer Jeff Lemire states
The response to Absolute Flash continues to be overwhelming. My collaborators, Nick Robles, Tom Napolitano and Adriano Lucas and I are so grateful to all the readers and retailers who have embraced this new version of Wally West. Some people have asked about the fate of Barry Allen and, while I don't want to spoil anything that's coming, I will say that Barry's role in the book may not be as finite as it originally seemed. Here, for the first time, is Nick's cover to Issue 8! I'm currently working on the script for Issue 12, and making plans for what the second year of the book will look like.
