Flash Forward #2

This issue dramatically surpassed my already high expectations, full of action packed fight scenes. Read Full Review

Only two issues in, and Flash Forward has already delivered the one thing I most wanted to get from it. This issue should remove any doubt that Lobdell is the man to redeem Wally West. I can hardly wait for the next issue to arrive. Read Full Review

Lobdell didnt have the easiest gig in restoring Wally back to prominence, but this issue shows he was the right writer for the gig. Maybe everyone wont be able to forget Heroes in Crisis, but Flash Forward is doing a solid job distancing Wally away from it. Read Full Review

Stories involving the DC multiverse have a tendency to be really good or really bad. Because of the nature of the stories, it makes the creative teams have to swing for the fences. This means that the readers either get to read a home run or a strike out. This series thus far has taken a different approach, instead focusing on the character development of Wally instead of worrying about cosmic threats and alternate realities. It succeeds with this approach by choosing a focus and sticking to it. The multiverse has never seemed so easy. Read Full Review

Brett Booth nails it with the art in this issue. The action sequences are exciting and both the characters and backgrounds look amazing. Read Full Review

This book may have some flaws, but its heart is in the right place. Wally has to become a hero once more and his story needs to be told. Read Full Review

Flash Forward #2(Lobdell, Booth, Rapmund, Guerrero) dives further into the Multiverse but provides very little in terms of answers to Wally's importance or a sense of direction. Read Full Review

Like I said before, Lobdell doesn't have a handle on the Wally West character. I wanted to know where he is emotionally. But unfortunately, any hopes of that is run over immediately. Read Full Review

It would have been a mostly forgettable issue if it wasn't for the final page " which brings back some characters that fans have been anticipating since DC Rebirth, and promises to elevate the emotional aspects of Wally's quest to a new level. Read Full Review

While I really enjoyed the art in this issue, I felt the storytelling was lacking because beyond two big fight scenes and a interesting cliffhanger, there really wasn't anything to this issue and we're still left wondering what Wally is doing pointing a stick at darkness and how this darkness is spreading in the first place.  Read Full Review

Flash Forward is shoddily assembled, but it's greater sin is being dull. Read Full Review

This six issue miniseries continues to spin its wheels with its nebulous direction, and this speedster is running out of time to tell a concrete, meaningful story. Read Full Review

My favorite issue so far. The story was fun and upbeat and captured the qualities of Wally West that fans love the most!

It was fun and Wally’s fans (including me) are finally getting justice

Prelude: Lobdell had a good start on Flash Forward last issue. Here's hoping that continues into this one. The Good: Booth set a pretty high bar last issue with his art and he surpasses it here. This was a very fun issue. That cliffhanger. Oh Lobdell is going to pull on our hearts isn't he? The Bad: Wally's mood swings were a bit much. Seems Lobdell wants to return him back to our Wally but still has to remember King's HiC. Conclusion: A very fun issue to read and this series is shaping up well to bring back Wally West.

Noice. I really thought that Lobdell was a really bad choose for this series but I was wrong. 2020's DC might get intersting

Wally flexes his stuff in this issue and it’s fun watching him have fun again, even if only for a brief moment. He takes on pretty much everything thrown his way with confidence. His objective is clearer and the final page really gives me hope that this mini-series is planning on changing Wally for the better once again. Wally West forever!!!

I still think Heroes in Crisis should have been retconned and forgotten instead of continued, but I gotta say, Lobdell may have found a way to redeem Wally and hopefully fix what Tom King ruined with his abomination of an event. That's the series which could successfully explore different DC realities and show their intricacies, and for the most part, it does. Bendis' Young Justice tried to do something similar, with characters jumping in between universes, but failed. Hopefully Wally's adventure won't end up the same, because as of now, I think it has serious potential. Potential you'll see at the very end on this issue. Still, though, I' prefer if DC pretended Heroes in Crisis never happened, but that's just me.

Thats the second time Lobdell has to fix the crap King did. First Dick, now Wally. Geez.

Nihilist - Oct 21, 2019

Hopefully he'll do better with Wally, since "Ric" is still a thing for some reason.

Darkseid24 - Oct 21, 2019

Thats not his fault though. DC wants Dick to stay Ric& Jurgens took over. I think it has to to with Year of The Villains too.

Nihilist - Oct 21, 2019

Youo're absolutely right. Still, I can't digest Ric, Who would've known barely two letters can make such a difference and rob a character of his past.

Darkseid24 - Oct 22, 2019

I don’t think his past was robbed, since Ric still acts to 80% like Dick did. And I always thought Dick is a stupid name, so thats a plus too.

Wally West kills the Marvel Universe, the abridged version. Good stuff, it's just that pretty much everyone could agree that it would be a lot better if a different artist would be drawing this.

I wasn't too thrilled by this issue/series until the last page. Now I am officially hooked.

"I'm a cosmic being. What do you think?" The fixing of Wally West continues.

Shakey writing, but interested to see where it goes.

Big step back. Art is great, dialogue is atrocious and they should have just stuck to using the Earth 23 characters and not the awful X-Men/Avengers stand-ins. They also added a mcguffin rod to get rid of the black goo saying that Tempus gave it to Wally last issue and that definitely didn't happen. Lobdell either completely forgot about it, hadn't created it yet or Booth neglected to draw it, likely because Lobdell forgot.

I read Crazy #1 from Marvel Comics before this. When I first started reading this comic, I had to remind myself that I was no longer reading a parody comic.
