Flash #87

In "Christmas Rush," Wally West faces a holiday unlike any other when Keystone City’s festive spirit clashes with a surge of criminal activity. With Linda frustrated by his absence at her Christmas party and the Flash stretched thin chasing thieves targeting charity drives, Abra Kadabra quietly plots his next move—using hired thugs to wear down the speedster while a legal subpoena looms over a past incident. Mark Waid’s storytelling, brought to life by Mike Wieringo’s dynamic art and José Marzán Jr.’s sharp inks, captures the tension between duty and personal connection in a season of giving. Alan Davis’s cover perfectly encapsulates the issue’s festive yet urgent tone.
