Friday Night Fights: Wildcat - Round 7: Flash BANG!




This past week I bought the "Chain Lightning" arc of The Flash. Spoiler: It was amazing!


So for tonight's round of Friday Night Fights: Wildcat, here's one of my favorite super-speed skirmishes from the arc, courtesy of The Flash#148, written by Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn and illustrated by Paul Pelletier and Vince Russell. Synopsis: Cobalt Blue aka Malcolm Thawne aka Professor Zoom's ancestor aka Barry Allen's evil secret twin brother (just roll with it) has implemented his plan to destroy all past, present, and future Flashes by dispatching a powerful magic gem to his descendents, who use it to target all subsequent Scarlet Speedsters. The reigning Flash at the time, Wally West, has assembled his speedster allies to travel through time and warn those Flashes and help them fend off the Thawne's descendents' attacks. Meanwhile, Wally has tracked the gem and wants to steal it away. Unfortunately for Wally, so does Zoom.




THWAM! And down goes Zoom!
