Time to bond.
Future Barry meets up with another Rogue as he continues his
journey back in time, as present Flash tries to solve the case of the copycat
killer.
Vendetti presents some touching moments in the future
section, and the present one is getting better as well.
Booth himself is improving in his art duties as the arc is
wearing on.
SPOILERS FOLLOW…………..
Twelve years in the future, Captain Cold dies of a stage
four bone cancer due to complications arising from his merging his DNA with his
powers. It’s very real life situation that is evoked here as Len slowly dies,
unloved by apparently everyone.
The Future Flash arrives on the scene and reminisces of the
time Cold became a Leaguer, much to Barry’s chargin.
Barry converses more about how he felt the Speed Force unraveling
around him, going from little things like tea getting cold or an eaten bagel to
deaths and accidents like the one which claimed Wally.
He again reaffirms that he’s going to kill himself and let
someone better take over as he stops Snart’s heart.
Next day, the doctor finds Len dead and tells him that her son
was on a trip when Snart froze the entire river, leaving him with nightmares.
The last sight though is of Captain Cold smiling in his death, his last moments
having been with the person closest to being a friend.
Meanwhile in the present, Flash continues his investigation
into the copycat supervillain as this time he encounters him with the
environment warping weapons of Merge.
As he gets the upper hand, the copycat uses a gravity gun to
send Flash flying. Only a timely intervention by Patty using her GPS tracker
saves him from soaring away.
Patty though leaves in a huff when she learns that he is
going baseball watching with Iris and Wally. Barry comments how he’s losing
time again.
At the game, Wally and Barry bond over baseball and
everything seems right with the world…..
For now…………
SPOILERS END………….
The arc is getting better and better as Vendetti and Booth
find their groove, with both present and future sections proving rich fodder
for thought.
The interactions are excellent while the pervading air of
threat is making this a great read.
So, I give it 8.0 out of 10.
+Excellent character interactions
+Some good artwork
+Nice emotional moments
-Wally and Barry’s arc feels a little unbalanced
