I'm sorry. I'm just not overly thrilled with Freddie E Williams' art. I mean . . . it's not bad. It's just not my style. But . . . I am glad that Wally's back . . . and in his own book. So . . I 'll just leave it at that. The story, by Mark Waid, is pretty good. Wally has learned how to travel to the alien attacker's world, but he doesn't want to go alone. So he's enlisted some members of the JLA. Specifically, John Stewart, Wonder Woman and Black Lightning. However, somehow, they've been tricked. When they transport over, they land on top of a military compound. And they're immediately under siege. Wally, because of his hyper metabolism, realizes that they're fighting illusions. They wanted to keep them busy, while the aliens strike out at Keystone. Wally tries to get through to everyone, but they're so enthralled in their battle rage, that they aren't listening to reason. When he gets back, he finds out that the whole city has been over-run. His first concern is for his family. But when he get there Jai has already taken off. He goes and finds him, and they have a real heart to heart conversation. And then they decide to go in to battle together. Next issue is the final chapter of this story. In the back-up, we find that Wally and Bart may have inadvertently created this alien menace. It's a bit complicated, but suffice it to say that Bart got rambunctious and in his melee, something may have been done to cause the menace. We'll know for sure next issue, also, as that is that final chapter of this story too. So far we've seen every other Flash come to this dimension. Maybe next issue, we'll finally see how Wally and his family ended up there. Doug Braithwaite's art on the back-up is phenomenal. Also another fine cover from Daniel Acuna.
