What a fantastic first issue of the new series. Wally West is back, along with his wife and the twins. They've been gone for over a year. The recent JLA/JSA/Legion crossover brought them back, literally in a flash. We don't learn the whole story about where they've been all this time but we do know that it was someplace alien. Someplace far advanced to earth. And someplace Flash had been to before because they owed him a debt of gratitude. Or honor. One or the other. Also, somehow while they were there the kids started going through growth spurts. They're barely a year old but they look and act like they're about 7, or so. They have gained powers. But we don't know exactly what those are because apparently during their growth spurts they changed. And they have to go through daily treatments on the alien devices. I'm not sure if it's to slow down their growth spurts, or to keep their powers in check. Like I said, we've gotten a glimpse of all of this this issue, but nothing has been explained fully. The issue ends with them being attacked by some kind of aliens coming after them from out of the river. I'm guessing they probably piggy-backed on to the Flash's ride back to earth. The series creators now are Mark Waid and Daniel Acuna. And I think they're both doing a tremendous job. But this is only the first issue. So . . we'll have to see where we go from here.
