I only read this as its technically part of Mark Waid's Flash run. He undeniably writes the most engaging part of this book, which also happens to take place in the future and features a character I've never heard of before. Familiarity is clearly not selling me here. The idea of a generational villain that keeps coming back, with each iteration being closely tied to the tropes and ideas representative of the various eras each story is attempting to ape is a very cool, good idea. It's the coolest part of this book. Each story manages to capture the feeling of those eras too. Jay Garrick's story is simpler, while Barry's is exceptionally boring. Wally, being essentially set in modern times, falls away from the homaging a bit but still manages, unsurprisingly, to feel of its era. I'm writing this after having already read the first few issues of Waid's actual Flash run and I can safely say that he breathed a ton of life into Wally based on this story. This is never outright bad, it's just what you would expect from the Flash most of the time: mediocre.
