On the loose and bent on destruction, Heatwave’s return couldn’t come at a worse time for Wally West. Now that the onetime Kid Flash has retaken the mantle of the Fastest Man Alive, he’s also taken a new job at Mr. Terrific’s Holt Industries. But all of that gets put on the back burner, when the Flash must outrace the flames of one of his greatest foes and figure out why the once-reformed rogue has gone bad again.
The Flash #773 brings the speedster back to his best. There is resurgent energy inside this issue that is infectious from the very first page. The first half of this comic, featuring Wally living his life and being himself, plants a beaming smile on the face of the reader. But there are some sadder moments towards the end that are poignant and just as powerful as the positive side to the book. The art creates a visual delight and exciting selection of action as Wallys new life looks set to be in good hands. Read Full Review
Flash has been in the fast track of must read books since Infinite Frontier started and it hasnt lost any momentum yet. Read Full Review
After years of high-octane Flash stories dedicated to the mythology of the Speed Force, this run is a breath of fresh air. In fact, it's probably the most determinedly old-school comic in DC's stable. Read Full Review
The Flash #773 may be thin on plot, but it succeeds at its goal of establishing Wally West as the main Flash of the solo series. Read Full Review
Will Conrad does great work with the art in the issue. There is a great sense of movement with the art that works perfectly with the character. Read Full Review
While the action in this book seemed to be standard Flash fair that was pretty basic, it feels like that was never the focus of this issue and because of that, I didn't mind it overall because that led to us seeing the kind of Flash that Wally is and the heart of this issue is what really matters and the heart shined through for me and with that, I really enjoyed the art in this issue as well.

The Flash #773 pads out the action a bit but really hits a home run with its emotional beats. This is the best time to be a Flash fan in over a decade! Read Full Review
'The Flash' 773 is another terrific showcase for Wally that is filled to the brim with superhero panache and a lot of heart. Read Full Review
The story of Wally West butting heads with Heat Wave comes to a close with a satisfying conclusion, mostly going to show how the Scarlet Speedster runs the role of an "everyman" rather than attempting to punch his way out of a situation. Read Full Review
An extremely fun story gets dragged down by stiff and lifeless art. There's still a lot of promise in this run, but it needs much more energetic art. Read Full Review
Wow, this run is giving me Mark Waid's Wally West vibes which is a great thing. This is why Wally West is my second favorite DC Superhero of all time.
Wally really is fitting back into a familiar setting. He's good at his job, even if it does make his co-workers look a little dumb to do that. Plus, he confronts the heart of a problem Heatwave is facing. Instead of just another superhero/villain clash, he finds a way to give comfort to Mick as his cancer takes hold. Which also brings a bit of tragedy when he's drafted into the Suicide Squad.
Great
I don't know what happened, but I like this comic a lot more since Wally fully took over.
