…. Okay, how much do food truck food cost in U.S.? Because where I live whenever I manage to find a food truck they’re expensive as fuck.
Flash Annual has little of Younger Wally, but he is pretty fun in those scenes we do have of him and has nice interactions with Older Wally, who is a focus character here (also, made me laugh when he pointed out they’re working on how to call them with the same names). It’s a good look at what Older Wally’s life was since he came back and how he seems afraid to rebuild parts of it that aren’t related to superheroics. His fans will be satisfied with this.
Oh and there is a reveal who shall be the mastermind behind Flash War. Who decided to zoom in on recent events from the future and initiate a hunt for Iris West. Who is it?
Wanna know?
Are you sure?
Are you?
You ready?
Here goes
Fastest Edgelord Alive is back, everybody.

OH GOD NO THIS ASSHOLE
PLEASE NO
I really hope he dies in this story
Like
I hate
EVERYTHING ABOUT Zoom
I hate his stupid origin story
I hate his nonsensical and irrational and bullshit motivation
I hate his Gary Stu “I’mma always survive everything and come back to hurt Better Characters as part of my Grimdark Nonsense” stories
I hate how Johns constantly had this dipshit getting the better of more interesting characters because he masturbates furiously to his own brilliance
All that said I do like the current writer of the Flash series so maybe he can actually make this guy a somewhat tolerable character?
That or he’ll acknowledge that he’s a shitty Villain Sue with nothing interesting or cool or fun about his backstory or personality or motivations and just have him die in Flash War
I do find it pretty hillarious that he’s wearing some kind of ridiculous Flash Pope outfit there which is pretty amazing
Seriously what even is that he’s got on is he wearing a circus tent O.O
Whatever the case, I really hope his return will be extremely brief…I can’t say I’m wild about the Reverse Flash but if there’s going to be an asshole in yellow zipping around being an Evil Flash I’d rather it was Barry’s Weird Ass Staker Fan from the Future than Mr “The Flash wouldn’t destroy time and space to “save" me from being in a wheelchair and still able to live my life and hold down a well paying job and have friends and form relationships so I’m going to murder people who I’ve never met because something something tragedy something something LIFE IS PAIN something something CRAWLING IN MY SKIN THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL”
Oh, this is Hunter Zolomon Zoom and not the real Zoom?
Lame.
Hunter IS the real Zoom…
Nope, Eobard Thawne is the real Zoom.
Hunter Zolomon is kind of a douche, and Eobard Thawne is the only real Zoom/Reverse Flash.
As for him being a crappy Character... I personally like Captain Cold as the primary speedster villain, but Reverse Flash/Zoom has definitely cornered the market on craziest speedster villain.
His backstory is nonsensical because Eobard Thawne is an obsessive sociopath who has all of Flash’s powers, with no moral compass and the benefit of having come from a future where time travel makes his understanding of how his powers work so much more complete than any of the speedsters.
Think about the fact that the Rogues are uniformly scared of/hate Zoom. It’s like how all the Bat Villains want to kill Batman, but they will not work with the Joker because he is way too crazy.
For the record, Captain Cold is (IMHO) the best Flash villain and one of the best written characters in all of comics. Period.
...But Zoom is freaking scary.
The more I read about the Flash, the more I’m convinced he is one of -if not THE- most powerful characters in the DCU. He’s the physical manifestation of the God of Motion.
And Zoom is the same thing, but next level mean and flat out evil.
