Somehow, Wally West’s visions of the future failed to foresee the destruction of three separate bridges in three separate cities, but he’s determined not to let this interfere with the good work he’s doing. But the rest of the League is less interested in letting him experiment on such a scale, especially when the costs are so high and people are getting hurt. But the Flash still wants to do good and doesn’t see a setback as a reason to abandon the entire thing. And besides, there’s not much anyone can do to stop the Flash ……is there?

Oct 28, 2026The Flash #38 is bringing this arc to a boiling point and tensions could not be higher amongst those who are supposed to be friends. Each issue is a gift that keeps on giving with fun scientific tie ins and a story that has its hooks deep into me. Read Full Review

Oct 28, 2026The Flash #38 continues Ryan North's excellent exploration of what happens when Barry Allen becomes too confident in his own abilities. The fallout from the bridge explosions raises serious questions about Barry's judgment, while Green Arrow steals the show with his increasingly hostile attitude toward the Scarlet Speedster. North balances the humor with genuine tension, making the growing conflict among the Justice League feel earned. Gavin Guidry's energetic artwork captures Barry's shifting emotions beautifully, especially as his confidence gives way to frustration and anger. As cracks in Barry's seemingly unstoppable powers become clearer, this compelling chapter makes you wonder just how far the Flash might fall. Read Full Review

Oct 28, 2026The high price of precognitive insight proves too much for Wally West to bear in his latest chapter. North blurs the lines between right and wrong with solid writing. Guidry and Lucas craft strong responses as the ethical questions involved become too great. A fascinating look at ethics and heroics on every page. Read Full Review

Nov 01, 2026The Flash #38 continues to escalate the stakes of Wally West’s new precognitive powers while the story takes on a darker tone. The implications of these new abilities for Wally’s life are immediate and dangerous, but the Justice League may have to beat some sense into him before he’ll understand that. I don’t need precognitive powers of my own to know that the League has their work cut out for them. Read Full Review
