With Wally West M.I.A., Central City needs help dealing with all the bizarre new threats that have arisen, so thankfully, Wallace West, Avery Ho, and Circuit Breaker are here to help. But can they count on Barry Allen, who is having a crisis of his own?
The Flash 2024 Annual #1 takes Wally to the edge of everything. This story needed to be told in an annual, as it needed space to go as far as it did. Read Full Review
I overall enjoyed this Flash Annual. Between the beautiful colors and well-written story, there is a lot to be immersed in while also not giving us too much at once. This is a must-grab issue this week! Read Full Review
The Flash 2024 Annual is a strange annual that feels more consequential than an annual should, although it does an excellent job contextualizing the events of the main series. Read Full Review
It's certainly clever and ambitious, but overall I'm not sure it works when it comes to moving Wally's story forward. It seems to be dragging him down even further, if anything, and leaves me wondering what the larger plan is for this run. Read Full Review
The Flash 2024 Annual #1 proves to be absolutely essential reading for the current run of The Flash, as it compresses some heavy loads of exposition and ongoing storylines into a single, over-sized issue bound to read better as a whole than stretched across multiple months. Read Full Review
The Flash Annual (2024) #1 boils down to a straightforward Flash story buried under mounds of unnecessarily complicated narration, convoluted tangents, and disharmonious art. In fairness, you get a little clarity about the real culprits behind the reality-bending mess, but it's not worth the cover price. Read Full Review
Spurrier has filled this storyline with so much technobabble gobbledygook that it makes you care so little for those few and far between moments that focus on the characters we love. Please fix this book, DC! We the fans, and the characters, deserve better.
Si has killed Wally. Made it beyond boring.
