An All-New All-Different All-Blue Wally West Returns In DC Comics New 52 April 2014 Solicitations In Flash Annual #3!

News, Top Story

USA Today got the tease from DC Comics of the return of Wally West, the Silver Age Kid Flash who graduated to Flash in the Bronze Age after Barry Allen’s death.

In the DC Comics New 52 reboot, Barry Allen is a younger and seemingly sole Flash of DC’s Prime Earth.

April 2014 looks to be a big month for Flashes. Barry Allen’s Flash title gets a new creative team, as will be noted in DC’s April 2014 solicitations. AND, Wally West returns that same month in Flash Annual #3; seemingly all blue.

    Flash alter ego Barry Allen, who plies his trade in the Central City police crime lab when not in his red costume, gets thrown into more procedural adventures when the new creative team of writers Robert Venditti and Van Jensen and artist Brett Booth debut in The Flash No. 30, out April 23.

    A week later, they reintroduce Wally West, another guy who’s worn the Flash togs, into the DC Universe in The Flash Annual No. 3.

Seems interesting that Wally is back just in time for DC Comics New 52: Futures End weekly series as had been surmised.

Let the speculation begin.
