Récit Complet Justice League HS #2
"Ascension" marks a pivotal moment in the Justice League HS series, as Geoff Johns and artists Gary Frank and Ethan Van Sciver explore the lingering echoes of the Flashpoint reboot through Wally West’s fractured return. Stripped of his adult memories and stranded outside the timeline, the youthful Kid Flash emerges in a world that doesn’t recognize him—only to vanish back into the Speed Force before Batman can confirm his identity. Bryan Hitch’s striking cover captures the moment’s urgency, while the story quietly reveals that the New 52’s creation wasn’t just a timeline reset, but a deliberate alteration that erased a decade from the heroes’ lives.
In "La puissance et la gloire, huitième partie," Flash and the Infinity Corporation take refuge in Rao’s cathedral, where Flash reveals Superman’s existence to the ancient god before the group uses the stones to flee. Just in time, Wonder Woman revives Superman, who then bears witness to the shocking arrival of ancient Krypton—its army of Kryptonians led by Rao, and among them, a lone Green Lantern.
In "La puissance et la gloire, conclusion," Batman’s desperate gambit unleashes a cosmic shift that ages the Sun into a red giant, stripping the Kryptonians of their powers. With the future of Krypton hanging in the balance, the younger Rao confronts the dire legacy of his future self, seeking to restore his people’s destiny—before time itself unravels.
In "Chapitre 1 - Perdu," Wally West—once a legend, now a ghost of his former self—awakens as the youthful Kid Flash, stranded outside the flow of time. Haunted by fragmented memories of a world rewritten, he seeks out Batman, hoping for recognition, only to vanish again into the Speed Force. The story unfolds through Wally’s desperate recollections, revealing a truth buried beneath the New 52: that the timeline was not just reshaped, but altered by an unseen hand that stole a decade from the lives of the heroes.
In "Chapitre 2 - Héritage," Wally appears to an aging Johnny Thunder, desperate to locate the Justice Society—though Johnny can no longer wield his Thunderbolt. Meanwhile, Maggie Sawyer holds a strange suspect, Ryan Choi investigates Ray Palmer’s sudden disappearance, Jaime Reyes seeks answers from Ted Kord about his scarab, and Dr. Fate interrupts with a chilling warning about its origins, as Pandora faces a force beyond comprehension.
In "Chapitre 3 - Amour," the fallen Superman of the New 52 universe casts a long shadow as heroes gather to mourn—Green Arrow and Black Canary, strangers in this timeline, feel an unexpected pull toward one another. Meanwhile, Clark, Lois, and Jon from the pre-Flashpoint world try to stay hidden, even as Clark is confronted by Mr. Oz with a cryptic warning, while Aquaman makes a quiet, heartfelt proposal to Mera. Wally, desperate to return to his time, reaches for Linda Park—but when her memories of him fail to return, he’s pulled back into the Speed Force, leaving behind a love that no longer remembers him.
In "Chapitre 4 - Vie," Wally struggles to exist as he flickers through moments of his past, unseen and forgotten by everyone he once knew—until he reaches Barry Allen, whose sudden memory of him becomes a lifeline. Meanwhile, Batman uncovers a mysterious object in the Batcave, a silent echo of the moment Wally was pulled into the Speed Force.
