The Flash #14
In "Tall Tale," Barry Allen races through time to uncover how Reverse Flash bested Paradox, tracking Thawne to the most impossible place—the night he murdered Barry’s mother, at his boyhood home. As Paradox moves backward through time, erasing past versions of Barry to fuel his growing power, the Flash must confront a past he’s spent a lifetime trying to outrun. Written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Howard Porter and Brandon Peterson, with colors by Hi-Fi and letters by Steve Wands, the issue’s cover by Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona captures the weight of that fateful night.

Barry travels to the 25th Century to learn how Reverse Flash was able to defeat Paradox, but unable to find the info he needs, he instead tracks down Thawne at the one place in time he knows Thawne will be, at Barry's boyhood home on the night Thawne murdered his mother. Meanwhile, Paradox is travelling backwards in time, killing past versions of Barry, thus creating more paradoxes which generates energy that increases Paradox' powers.
