Introducing Dr. Nightmare! Bad dreams come to life and lead to chaos on the streets of Central City on the same night the Fastest Man Alive attends a daddy/daughter dance. Side-by-side with his super-powered daughter, Wally must not slow down, or they risk falling victim to the man named Dr. Nightmare.
The Flash #774 is a fun and fantastic issue. Adams taps into the energy and the positivity of the silver age comics, but with modern writing styles and artwork from Duce. The superheroics that the Flash must partake in are always secondary to the importance of his family and the people around him. Wally is an extremely likable character, leaving the reader with a smile on their face whenever they see him. The art matches the positivity and the energy, resulting in exciting set pieces.

The Flash #774 is the perfect example of why Jeremy Adams is killing it on this series. With so many great titles in the DC lineup currently, it's hard to pick a favourite, but if I had to do so, it would be The Flash. I'd give it a higher score, but our scale only goes up to 5/5. Read Full Review
Duce delivers some impressive visuals throughout the issue. There are great character moments between Wally and Iris and Duce brings those moments our well. Read Full Review
Like the rest of this run, it feels like it could have come out of a pre-Infinite Crisis time capsule. Whether that's something that'll actually work for you will depend on just how much you love Wally West. Read Full Review
It's hard to overstate the simple, low-stakes pleasures a character-first issue likeFlash #774 can bring to a reader. If you're a father, check this comic out - and even if you're not, and just like great character-based superhero comics, check this comic out. You won't be disappointed. Read Full Review
Artist Christian Duce navigates the always tricky challenge of making kids not just look like shorter adults. Duce keeps Iris looking youthful while also showing the physical resemblance of her father. Colorist Hi-Fi also sticks to the carefree and fun theme with bright and cheery color choices.

There's a lot of territory to explore between Wally and his children, Jai and Iris, and while there isn't much here in terms of super speed, we get a good look into what really makes West different from his mentor, Barry Allen. Adams has a keen grip on what makes Wally West work as a character, and while this issue isn't breaking the wheel, it makes for a good, and touching, superhero romp for the new Crimson Speedster.

This is a fun continuation of the new status quo of the Fastest Man Alive. It's a fun exploration of the relationship between father and daughter with a super-villain fight and art that finally fits the story. Read Full Review
While this run of the Flash has been one of my favorite series that DC's been putting out lately, this issue comes off as a huge disappointment to me as a new villain is introduced in a ridiculous story that just ends up not making much sense overall and sacrificing the effectiveness of this new character and threat. Yeah, you get some great Wally family moments and some great art throughout but the majority of the story felt lackluster. Read Full Review
False advertising on the cover but I really like how the Wally Flash comics are leaning into everyman with kids scenarios. There are risks especially since this part of the Flash family can't use their speed. But the pure enjoyment I get from seeing how Wally interacts with his daughter I just can't enjoy enough. Why can't more comics just have these episodic periods?
Too.
Much.
Fun.
This and Aquaman were the week's stand outs.
WHOLESOME feels like a tv show
This was a fun one-shot. Nothing big, just a small issue that manages to keep the reader's interest.
Just pure fun.
