In "Lightning in a Bottle," Barry Allen’s quiet evening with Linda’s parents takes a sudden turn when a riot erupts at a local hockey game, forcing the Flash into action. With unexpected aid from Captain Cold and a chilling encounter with the Rathaway butler at a grim scene, Barry finds himself tangled in a mystery that blurs the line between ally and enemy. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Scott Kolins, with inks by Doug Hazlewood and colors by James Sinclair and Digital Chameleon, this pivotal issue features a cover by Scott Kolins.
In a fractured reality where the rules don’t hold, Wally West—rescued by the unlikely ally Captain Cold—must unravel the truth behind a world that mirrors his own. With a rogue version of the Thinker hunting him and Cold, and a third unknown figure caught in the crossfire, the line between hero and enemy blurs in this high-speed mystery.
In a fractured reality where reflections lie and trust is a liability, Wally West finds himself hunted through a warped mirror realm alongside Captain Cold and Mirror Master. As they unravel the truth behind their imprisonment, a relentless predator known as Plunder emerges from the glass, turning their desperate bid for survival into a fight for identity and survival.
In "Chapter IV: Joining the Tea Party," Wally West races to rescue Captain Cold and Mirror Master from Plunder’s grasp, only to find himself entangled in a scheme by the Mirror Universe’s Thinker. With the fate of the Rogues and the very fabric of reality at stake, Wally must navigate a fractured world where Keystone City has vanished—leaving behind only echoes of what once was.
In "Chapter V: Brother Grimm," Wally West ventures into a twisted, fairy tale realm where familiar faces—like Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and even Captain Cold and Mirror Master—become shadows of themselves. As Wally confronts the enigmatic Brother Grimm, long-buried truths about his own past begin to surface, unraveling the line between hero and myth.
In the climactic showdown of "Blood Will Run, Part 4: Uneasy Idol," Flash [Wally West] faces off against Cicada [David Hersch] in a battle that tests both speed and resolve. As the dust settles, secrets unravel—Jared Morillo discovers unexpected healing abilities, Fred Chyre grapples with a personal suspicion about baby Josh’s parentage, and the aftermath leaves Linda Park, Jesse Quick, Magenta [Frances Kane], and Elizabeth Hersch caught in the storm of revelations.
When a quiet evening at Linda Park’s parents’ new home takes a sudden turn, Flash [Wally West] finds himself racing to stop chaos at a local hockey game—only to get unexpected backup from Captain Cold [Leonard Snart]. Meanwhile, the mysterious Pied Piper makes a chilling appearance, and the Rathaway family butler stumbles upon a scene that defies belief.
In the wake of Julie Jackam’s funeral, a grieving Central City faces a storm—both literal and personal—when the Weather Wizard reemerges, claiming her son as his own. As Flash [Wally West] and Linda Park race to uncover the truth, a mysterious video implicates the Pied Piper in a crime that may not be his, while shadows from the past, including Fred Chyre and Rita, begin to surface.
In "Birth Right, Part 2: The Rain Maker," Wally West races against time as the Weather Wizard, Mark Mardon, makes a desperate bid to claim his son, Joshua Jackam, not for love, but to harness the boy’s raw weather-controlling powers—no matter the cost. With Linda Park at his side and the ever-watchful Mirror Master looming, Wally must confront the storm brewing not just in the sky, but in the past, where echoes of Julie Jackam and Jared Morillo’s choices still shape the present.
