If you haven't read this book yet, you should. Before you read this blog. I don't like to be a spoiler. Anyways, things don't turn out good for Bart this issue. Inertia has been putting together this team of Rogues, for a couple of months now. He says he wants to build a device that will stop time, so they can pillage the earth. They always have such lofty goals. Anyways, as Kadabra figures out, it's actually a device to pull the Speed Force out of Bart, and then when that happens, he plans on putting it in himself. Although he a future clone of Bart, he doesn't have the power to tap in to the Speed Force. So he gets his speed from pharmaceuticals. Well I guess he's tired of that, and he wants the real thing. Bart's grandmother even came back from the future, to try to warn him. And to tell him not to go to the Rogues today. But, being the hero he is, or wants to be, when the city is put in danger, he has to go to try to help. Knowing that this is going to happen, Iris goes and gets Valerie, so that maybe she can somehow stop the machine. She does . . . but not before Bart loses his speed. After which . . . after tumbling about 100 yards, because he was moving at the time . . . he stands before all the Rogues, the Rogues that he's been beating up on, both physically and mentally, with snappy banter, the whole issue . . . completely powerless. What a cliff-hanger! Oh yeah, the Black Flash has shown up too, but only Bart and Inertia can see him. This means that one of the speedsters . . . is going to die. Nice story by Marc Guggenheim. And it's accompanied by the very adept pencils of Tony S Daniel. Very cool book! I can't wait to see what happens next issue.
