With a heavy serving of tropes ladled all over this script, the "Wally West's Quantum Leap To Escape Consequences" tour continues in The Flash #770 by dropping the modern-day speedster into World War 2 for a chance to play out that superhero cliche everyone talks about but literally has no value to actually enact in[...]

In today's Flash #770, Wally West gets the chance to do similar, but instead goes for a more classic look As he encounters an Adolf Hitler seizing the Spear Of Destiny, the mystical artifact that has become a major part of DC Comics lore – and used to explain why the big superheroes of the[...]

If you're a fan of the show Quantum Leap, you might find some enjoyment in the idea of unpunished spree killer Wally West sliding into the bodies of varied speedsters throughout spacetime to stop disasters that, in fact, Wally himself helped to create.

With all of the grace and forgiveness of a police officer giving slack to a mass murderer, this baffling issue offers the central spotlight of the title to Wally West after he committed ten murders and tried to frame two innocent people for it With that as a starting point, there's little surprise that The Flash[...]

Jumping from time period to time period gives us a new artist, which justifies the change but also gives us one of the better looking DC Comics titles right now, and might be a lesson in other comic book stories looking to justify that $4.99 – or $5.99 price point., Why have a backup strip[...]

In the solicitations for Flash and Justice League in the Infinite Frontier March and April titles from DC Comics, there's been some query as to which Flash is where and what… and even why. The ongoing Flash series in March leads with the retirement of Wally West but it doesn't look like it sticks[...]

And we also get an idea of where Martian Manhunter, Wally West and others will be in DC Infinite Frontier from March onwards, absent as they are from the new Justice League – with[...]

It's Flash and Wally West future time Because in January and February, DC Comics will be running a two-month event, Future State, looking at potential and possible futures for the DC Universe, their most prominent characters and their successors Originally planned as the ongoing nature for these titles as 5G or Generation Five, it was[...]

Today sees the publication of The Flash #761, a culmination of Flashes fighting Zooms and Reverse Flashes, and along the way it brings in as many Flashes as it can find – including an appearance of Krakkl, the alien speedster created by Mark Millar, Grant Morrison and Paul Ryan as Wally West's imaginary friend who[...]

So Scott Snyder, writer of Dark Nights: Death Metal #1 going to FOC today, went on a live Instagram stream about a month ago and talked a lot about Death Metal. The feed has gone but this mention of Speed Metal was snipped off and posted on social media. Scott Snyder states that the energy that Wally[...]

One of which is that DC Comics has further plans for Wally West beyond his current Dr Manhattan-powered-up state, and what we saw from this Wednesday – and that he will be known as Pariah Or at least that was the plan, the exit of Dan DiDio means that everything is up in the air[...]

Following on from Heroes In Crisis, it was intended to return Wally West back to the DC Universe in some form, after killing a bunch of heroes accidentally but then covering it up and pinning the blame on Harley Quinn and Booster Gold In last week's Harley Quinn #70, they certainly remember… Well, Wally West bumped[...]
