The Flash #18

In the high-stakes clash across dimensions, Wally West weighs a personal secret as he and the kids from Gemworld navigate shifting loyalties, while Linda Park-West grapples with the truth of her newfound abilities. At Iron Heights, Warden Gregory Wolfe enlists Blacksmith for a covert mission, even as Johnny Quick flees Earth-3, pursued by Mirror Master in a desperate bid to steal a cosmic treadmill for Amanda Waller’s shadowy agenda.

In "All Pedal, No Brakes," Wally West and Wallace West—two versions of the Flash—trade speed for spontaneity as they skip class at Teen Titans Academy for a globe-hopping ride fueled by nostalgia and shared memories of Barry. With Red Arrow, Bratgirl, Roundhouse, Gorilla Gregg, Arsenal, and Girder watching from the sidelines, the two speedsters chase more than just distance—they're chasing the echoes of who they’ve been.

In "Plans," Wally West and Wallace West deliver Girder to Iron Heights, but Wally can't shake the feeling that Warden Gregory Wolfe is concealing something beneath the prison’s steel facade. Meanwhile, Jai and Irey are stunned to discover that Linda Park-West has unexpectedly awakened with speed powers of her own.

In "The Search for Barry Allen Part 1," Wally West and a team of speedsters, aided by Mister Terrific, dive into the Speed Force to track down a mysterious signal pointing to three possible locations across the Omniverse—each holding a version of Barry Allen. As they race through alternate realities, the true identity of the man they seek remains uncertain, and the stakes grow with every step forward.

In the wake of a fractured multiverse, Max Mercury and Jesse Quick race across a ruined Earth where an alternate Barry Allen fights to keep the last embers of hope alive. Meanwhile, Irey and Jai are hunted by Night-Flash on a world gone dark, while Wally and Wallace stumble into a Silver Age paradise—where Barry lives in a world too perfect to be real.

In "The Search for Barry Allen Part 3," Max Mercury and Jesse Quick team up with an alternate Barry Allen to confront the escalating danger of Terramongus across fractured realities. While Jai West and Irey West flee from the Night-Flash with help from an unknown ally, Wally West discovers the true Barry Allen—only to be met with suspicion, as Barry mistakes him for the Reverse Flash, and the encounter forces Wally to confront a haunting alternate version of his father.

Wally West, Linda Park-West, Jai West, and Iris West [Irey] go full speed as they race across the globe to aid the Justice Society, the Titans, and the Bat-family—each team facing new dangers born from the fallout of the Dark Crisis. With speed, heart, and the weight of legacy on their shoulders, they push beyond limits to keep the world from unraveling.

In "Time to Shine!", The Flash [Wally West] answers the call when a surge of Multiversal wrestling combatants crash into Earth, forcing him to join forces with a flamboyant Multiversal champion to defend the planet’s turf. With a roster of bizarre, larger-than-life fighters like Omega-Bam-Man, The Overtaker, and Klee Pan [Faceless Hunter of Saturn] on the prowl, Wally must rely on quick thinking, lightning speed, and a little help from allies like Linda Park-West and Jai West to keep the chaos from spilling beyond the ring.

Wally West takes a rare moment to unwind, diving into Linda Park-West’s new novel—a sharp, imaginative tale where a career-driven woman finds herself entangled in a sci-fi romance woven with real-life figures from her world. As the story unfolds, the lines between fiction and the people Wally knows blur, turning a simple read into something far more personal.

In "Rogues to Redemption," Wally West and Linda Park-West face a personal milestone—Linda’s pregnancy—just as their lives take a sharp turn: the new mayor of Central City, Gregory Wolfe, has officially deputized the Rogues, turning former villains like Heat Wave, Captain Cold, and Mirror Master into sanctioned enforcers. With the Flash now at odds with his own city’s authorities, Wally must navigate a shifting landscape where old enemies wear badges and the line between justice and vengeance grows dangerously thin.

In "Ordered Mind," Wally West finds himself hunted by the Rogues—Pied Piper, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, and Trickster—now deputized by Mayor Gregory Wolfe to capture the Flash. With the city under new order and old enemies turned enforcers, Wally must unravel Wolfe’s true motives before the line between hero and villain dissolves completely.
