Flash Monster Edition #1
"Vorboten" marks a pivotal moment in Wally West’s journey, as grief over Linda’s miscarriage collides with a terrifying encounter in a temporal rift—where he sees his ex-wife from a possible future, accusing him in a vision that leaves him shaken. With guidance from the other Speedsters, including Jay Garrick’s crucial insight, Wally confronts the shocking truth: Zoom isn’t drawing power from the Speed Force, but from time itself. Written by Geoff Johns and Steve Kups, with dynamic art by Scott Kolins and inks by Doug Hazlewood, this issue blends emotional weight with high-stakes temporal mystery. The cover, also by Scott Kolins, captures the moment of Wally’s dread with haunting precision.
In "Der Aufruhr, Teil Eins: Das Erwachen," the prison Iron Heights is thrown into chaos as a violent gorilla uprising breaks loose, freeing a roster of villains—including the cunning and powerful Gorilla Grodd, who now commands his newfound allies. The story sets a pulse-pounding tone as the inmates turn on their captors, and the line between predator and prisoner blurs.
In "Tod oder lebendig," Flash finds himself thrust into the heart of a new Gorilla City, where his quest for vengeance against Gorilla Grodd is abruptly halted by Nnamdi, the city's enigmatic new ruler. Forced to abandon his mission, Flash is sent back to Keystone City—only to face the lingering echoes of what he left behind.
In "Ausser Balance," Flash tracks down the escaped villain Top, capturing him before he can strike again and warning the city’s heroes. Meanwhile, recovering in the hospital, Hunter Zolomon encounters the mysterious Peek-A-Boo.
In "Hilflos," Jo’s desperate attempt to save her father draws Hunter Zolomon into a moment of terrifying revelation—her powers flare with a force tied to explosive chaos. When Flash later visits, Hunter proposes rewriting the past using the Cosmic Treadmill, but the Flash refuses, warning that altering time risks unraveling everything. Yet Hunter won’t be stopped, and he breaks into the Flash Museum to act alone.
In "Blitz, Teil 1: Schurkenprofil: Zoom," Hunter Zolomon lies in a hospital bed, his mind racing through the wreckage of his past as he struggles to regain control—only to discover his legs are working again and time itself has frozen around him. Written by a team whose work on the Flash mythos is known for its psychological depth, this story unfolds with a quiet, creeping dread as Zolomon confronts the moment his life fractured and the power that could remake it.
In "Blitz, Teil 2: Spurt," Wally West and Linda Park-West share the joy of her pregnancy with friends—only for the celebration to shatter when a sonic boom tears through Keystone City. As the speedster Jay Garrick races to investigate, he’s ambushed by a terrifying new foe who calls himself Zoom, moving faster than anyone has ever seen. With Jay left broken and unconscious, Zoom vanishes into the chaos—straight toward Linda.
In "Blitz, Teil 3: Auf der Überholspur," Zoom uses his unique grasp of time and vision to force Wally into confronting loss—by abducting Linda, he pushes the Flash to his limits, even as impulses to stop him falter. When Zoom finally faces the other Speedsters head-on in the heart of the city, a single finger snap unleashes a sonic shockwave that leaves Linda gravely injured.
In "Blitz, Das Finale: Das letzte Rennen," Wally West is pushed to his limits when a devastating personal loss collides with a cosmic threat—haunted by a vision of his ex-wife in a fractured future, he must rally the Speedsters to confront Zoom. With Jay’s insight revealing that Zoom manipulates time itself, Wally races against the very fabric of existence to outwit a foe who bends time to his will.
Two months after Wally agreed to the Spectre’s offer to erase the world’s memory of his identity as the Flash, he’s vanished—both from the streets and from his own mind. Now, with no recollection of who he was or why he ever ran, Wally must navigate a life where the Flash never existed, and the speedster’s past feels like a dream he can’t quite remember.
