I always liked Beat the Clock the best as well as Shroud of Death and Honor Among Thieves (Great appearance in that by then-future Highlander Co-Star Elizabeth Gracen)

Welcome aboard! Wally's early few years weren't my favorite either I must confess. as I've stated before I really got started during the "Return of Barry Allen" later i went back and collected the full run and for me, the good stuff really started when William Messner-Loebs started writing. Barry's a very cool character I think if he has any flaw it's that Editorial shoots him in the foot. (I think everyone would welcome Barry's upcoming series with open arms if edit. hadn't basically said..."OK we have The Silver Age Back we don't need any Modern Age characters any more!")

I really miss the whole family Geoff outlined some really great storyline potentials for them in the afterward of Flash rebirth and all of it looks to have been $h!t-canned! Even without the kids I thought Wally and Linda were a fantastic couple and I always enjoyed their chemistry.....even when they were ticked at each other, it was fun to watch!

Hey Everyone, well, this is always one of the most popular threads in many of other boards I frequent. Favorite quotes whether they're lines from movies, dialogue in a book, a profound bit of wisdom? maybe a piece of profoundly unwise nonsense! let 'er rip Since It's a Flash board I decided to start off with a quote from Wally
How Fast is Fast? Knew a guy in college who poured thousands into a Romanaclef 5200. Zero to eighty in three-point-five. Two-Ten on the Autobahn.
Kid stuff.
Got another friend who swears by the primacy of the bike. The thunder of the motor, the throb of the pistons, the immediacy between thinking and doing...Claims it makes him One With The Road.
He wishes.
Catch lightning in your hands sometime. Spend a month between the ticks of a second and tell me what noise you hear when you crack the sound barrier.
THEN we'll talk about FAST
My name is Wally West... and like everyone else, I too, took life one step at a time...
...until the day a bath of electrified chemicals Turbocharged my world. Now I move like nothing else on Earth. I can outrun gravity...cross a river without sinking...race a spotlight to it's target.
I'm the Fastest Man Alive.
I'M THE FLASH!
Wally West The Flash 2nd Series #80 Early September 1993 US$2.50 Mark Waid........Story Jose Marzan Jr..Inks Tim Harkins......Letters Gina Going........Colors Brian Augustyn...Editor Ruben Diaz .......Assistant Editor Mike Wieringo....Pencils

I like the look of the new costume and I do like that it's Bart I'm wondering how things will change with him though. Will he have a connection to the Flash (i mean despite his actual parentage will Barry acknowledge him as an unspecified family member or does Barry consider him as just some kid with similar powers?) also how much does Bart remember of the pre-Flashpoint universe? Back after COIE Psycho Pirate remembered the Infinite-earths when no-one else did.

One of the things I was thinking when they returned Barry was, "after he and Iris had settled down some he could start investigating a series of serial killings that revolved around his post death of Iris Life," The eventual killer would be revealed to be Fiona Webb who read a report in the papers of Central City Forensics expert Barry Allen returning from Witness Protection

I agree completely. When Barry Came Back and they were beginning to hype it up it was supposed to be the Ultimate Flash Storyline. But Honestly, I could think of a dozen story lines in just the last fifteen years (maybe even the last ten!) that were far more exciting and had me chomping at the bit for the next issue! and that's just in the Flash by itself.

Well it seems that the best way anyone knows to Support Wally is to tear down Barry, Boycott his book call DC's pub a bunch of names etc.... Quite frankly It's really getting nowhere Fast and as Barry himself said "The More the Merrier" (not that tptb ever listen to their own characters.....) still, I think what is needed is some good old fashioned showing love to Wally. here's what I propose:
Facebookers, Every month, on the week that Flash Comes out, Use a pic of Wally as the Flash for your profile pic. also post a favorite Wally Run Comic on your Wall or even a clip from JL/JLU that stars Wally.
Twitters (I'm not on Twitter so I don't know how the system generally works but Tweet praises on high for Wally, Favorite stories, quotes etc....
Forums...THIS PLACE IS A GHOST TOWN!!!!![/b] Let's really make ourselves heard! Bring this place back to life go on other boards to bring attention to it! And when you're on other boards (particularly DCs) Play up the WW fandom. Don't trash Barry!!! just make sure the powers know where we stand.

I was watching my copy of THE FLASH The Complete Series and I was really disappointed with the lack of special features on the set. No commentaries, No Featurettes on the Series No Special Featurettes on the history of the Comic Character. Really! a total lack of the fanfare that even Aquaman got!! (not a diss on A-man but seriously, it was a vaguely rememberedcartoon from another three decades back!!! and still it got better treatment!!)

Hey all, So I've been thinking for a while, with Barry's return maybe DC could give some of the old TV show characters comic book debuts ( Hey, Chloe Sullivan was brought in to Superman's supporting cast why not Julio?) we could also bring in Murphy, Bellows, Lt. Garfield etc. Granted we won't have any relationship between Barry and Tina (however Jerry and Tina could become friends for Barry and Iris)

It's just how DC handles it's Earth Born people with powers. Wally once called the meta-gene an X-factor in his genetic makeup. Metahumans are basically the DC equivilant of Marvel's mutants but the term is less derogative.

hmmmmm more to the point, could we see Carol again? does she remember Bart is KidFlash/was Impulse? or is she another casualty of the Geoff-con effect?

It seems like Johns and Co. are actually phasing her out completely. Back during the Fall of Green Arrow last year 9or the year before) Ollie used Barry's Killing Zoom to explain his killing of Prometheus. Barry said he did it because Iris was in danger. then, in the Flashpoint Reverse Flash special it shows zoom heading towards Iris to kill her and Barry breaking his neck. No Fiona Webb no wedding day, nothing of the original occurrence. personally, this is one of those retcons I can do without.
