Continuing the saga of ARMAGEDDON 2001. Waverider looks into the possible future of the Fastest Man Alive and finds that ten years in the future, Wally West has retired from his life as Flash... until he's forced to once again don the scarlet costume and survive attacks by a barrage of foes both old and new to save the life of his super-fast son.
No critic ratings have been found for this issue.
I'm not sure i understood the ending, or the point of the story in general. Overly long for no reason, as well.
Continuing from the Flash Special, this annual is such a hurdle for anyone trying to get into Waid's run. Armageddon 2001 was a terrible event, everyone knows that, but I feel like that idea hits differently when you actually attempt to read any part of it. Waid does his best here, I'm sure, but it's just not an interesting story. An alt-future Wally West who goes through a very stereotypical alt-future superhero journey is not interesting to me, and it means nothing because we all know this isn't his future. It's very, very boring. Go away, Waverider.
