The return of Jay Garrick, the first Flash and member of the Justice Society of America also teased in DC Universe Rebirth #1!

tangles with Barry Allen and both Wally Wests save him from being swallowed by the Speed Force.

So…

Three very entertaining action-packed issues. Solid stories and perhaps too stylized art styles if you’re picking up all three issues for your Wallys fix. I’ll give all three together and individually 7 out of 10.
