the Flash #237 - DC


This was another kind of in-between issue. Keith Champagne and Koi Turnbull fill in on the creative staff. Next issue were getting a new regular team of Tom Peyer and Freddie Williams II. So this issue, just kind of kept things going until next issue. It showed Wally struggling with trying to balance his home life, time with the wife and kids, with that of his life as the Flash. He only has 2 things to do today. Two interviews. But he completely misses one, because he gets involved with something with Superman, and blows the second. Meanwhile his wife and kids have gone to Metropolis for a training session of sorts. Linda gives Jai and Iris a list of things, a treasure hunt if you will, and they have to work together to find them. But what they end up finding is Livewire. Superman and Flash do end up helping them out. You didn't really expect them to take down a Super-villain their first time out? Did you? But in the process they do learn a little more about their powers. And every obstacle just helps them to become stronger as a family. Seriously! I know! Wally West? But . . it works. I really like the way this book is going, and I hope Tom Peyer just further strengthens those bonds that are there. It's kind of neat to see the Flash as this little family unit.
