Barry and Wally's personality traits have been jumbled so much at this point a lot of people can't tell the difference anymore. Also, he said he's a mechanic, not a scientist exactly.
Leaving past mistakes behind and racing into the future, Wally West returns as Central City’s Scarlet Speedster!
Now reunited with his wife, Linda, and their two children, the former Kid Flash begins a new chapter in his life. But Wally quickly remembers that saving lives and fighting super-villains may make him a hero, but they don’t pay the bills. Luckily, an old friend may have just the right job for this blue-collar champion.
If you're not already reading this series, The Flash #772 is an ideal starting point for new readers. It provides an amazingly good start for Wally as he resumes his heroic career. DC is finally treating Wally West with the respect the character deserves. Read Full Review

Despite a deus ex machina that subverts the script's initial man-on-the-street fun,Flash #772 is a welcome return to grounded, "this-could-be-you" superheroics. Welcome back, Wally West! Read Full Review
This run seems like a love letter to Wally fans, and so far it's delivering. Read Full Review
After last week's The Flash 2021 Annual, where we saw major revelations for Wally West, it's time to pace things back a little bit this issue and have a smaller, more personal look at Wally and his family and the struggles of having to split your time up between super-heroics and getting a paycheck, but with that aspect, we get some interesting setups, a great cliffhanger, and some great art throughout..... I just wish we could have seen a little more getting a job struggles for Wally. Read Full Review
Conrad delivers some great action in this issue. What makes the visuals more compelling is the great contrast between the action beats and the human stories. Read Full Review
Flash #772 is a great starting point in the next chapter for Wally West and his family. His new job has the potential to lead to some interesting directions. You don't need to have read the previous storyline in order to dive right in, which I highly recommend. Read Full Review
Fun character development and a strong plot overcomes some stiff line-art. The issue puts the Flash on a very fun path that strengthens the series' prospects for the future. Read Full Review
Wally's new status quo as the Flash is an interesting one, but the Scarlet Speedster could definitely work on slowing down. Read Full Review
The Flash #772 is a fun fresh start for Wally that is slightly let down by some artistic choices. The plot is exciting and nostalgic, harkening back to a classic Flash comic, and the energy that exudes when the characters are happy in this comic is infectious. But too much exposition and bizarre designs on the main character prevents the comic from really shining. Read Full Review
Love the new direction, inclusion of Mr. Terrific and art is great.
It feels good to have Wally back. Miss his rebirth suit, but as long as Tom King isnt touching him then I'm okay.
The everyman Flash is back! Seeing Wally struggle to find work after everything from previous issues felt so relatable. Course I was a little jealous with my lack of connections. But hey, he's tried and deals with the everyday life as much as everybody else. It felt good to be back in all of this after a brief stint of feeling mortality. That is until a blast from the past is ready to go out in a blaze of glory because he's feeling his mortality.
Up to this point in my comic-reading career, I've never really had a Flash: Barry was in the N52 comics and the CW show (before it went to crap) while Wally was in the DCAU + Young Justice and the Pre-Flashpoint stuff which I always enjoyed.
To have a Wally run after so long should feel like a radical transition... but I can't help but absolutely love the direction Jeremy Adams has been taking him. Wally is so much fun, and the utilization of Mr. Terrific works extremely well. It's crazy to think it's been 5 year since Johns had Wally and Linda reunite in the DCU Rebirth special, and look where we are now!
Dude, I don't even care if this rating is a bit high, I am just so impressed that Flash has a personality. Is this what we were missing with Barry Allen?
Jeremy writes a great wally
Barry is the scientist why would Mr.T think he'd be a good scientist?
