Come on Barry. Wally is the god king of bullshit fast goesing.

>>92850533
It's still bullshit that they wrote off Hartley as Barry's friend when he never was. Wally accepting Piper was always a big deal and a matter of bonding between them two and with Barry's he's always just been with Singh as "hey look some gay characters" quota fillers.

>>92850624
He probably meant Black Wally.

>>92850625

Seeing how it's Hal it would somehow end up being lewd.

Thawne hates being called the Reverse Flash. It's a name Barry made up to insult him.

>>92850649
How did he resurrect?

He was recollecting. It's an irrelevant distinction though, it's just Barry being a scared ass baby.

At the end of the second arc he asks her out on a date.

I wonder if the whole JSA is going to be de-aged a bit because of rebirth and being trapped in the time stream when they come back, it would make sense that way how they fought in WW2 and are still around and kicking today.

>>92856303
it does make sense in the context of Professor Zoom

>>92850649

So is this a record for least time spent dead? Im pretty sure Thawne literally only managed to stay dead for like a month.

>>92856687
I think his death in Batman predates his resurrection in this issue.

>>92850576
I love how Barry knows how to put on the suit without the ring but because it makes a cool ass page they still have the ring in this issue. Good shit.

>>92850679

What if this Thawne is from a different point in time?

>>92856505
Yeah, that's what happened to Wally. In the Rebirth special he himself noticed that after getting stuck in the SF he's been de-aged for 10 years, and even appeared in his Kid Flash costume at first.

>>92859736
It's a good way to show that Barry is completely zoning out even if the narration boxes are getting a little tired.

>>92850625
>Sorry, Hal, I was too busy narrating to notice you

Barry is such a jerk.

>>92850649
>Thawne calling HIMSELF Reverse-Flash

I don't think this has ever happened since his first couple of Silver Age appearances.

Hell, IIRC New Earth Thawne (whom this guys is supposed to be) threw a fit when Wally called him "Reverse-Flash" instead of Zoom in a later run.

>>92850499
>>92850507
>>92850522
The writing makes no sense. Barry's logic: "I can't reveal my identity to Iris and my friends, because then Zoom will kill her and them". Why? How? Zoom already knows his true identity. He knows whom Barry Allen loves or cares about. Whether they know about his alter-ego or not, it does not stop Professor Zoom from coming from the future and killing them...

>>92850649
SEE!? How would the situation change if Barry told Iris the truth? Zoom already knows it all!

>>92850611
>>92859736
It was clearly representative of Barry not listening to him and being lost in his own thoughts.

>>92850694
No, Silver Age Thawne called himself both Professor Zoom (Barry just shortened it to "Zoom") and the Reverse-Flash. It wasn't an insult.

New Earth Thawne was the one who starded considering being only a "reverse" of the Flash an affront to his own legacy.

>>92850699
Maybe Manhattan didn't intend for him to die? I mean, he brought back Thawne's New Earth memories himself for SOME reason...

Williamson is a hack. The Button is always full of inconsistencies like this. He doesn't know what the fuck he's writing.

oh, shit!

>>92850889
>>92850974
that brown girl scientist Barry made out with and then she faked her death and was really evil all along

>>92850649
Killing him clearly doesn't work

so why doesn't Barry just rape him?

>>92856551
Time travel makes tense and linear progression weird.

>>92864463

Because Thawne just realizes that Barry was already raped an earlier point in time, and now by sticking his dick into Thawne's asshole portal to the Speed Force, he's actually fucking himself via wormhole.

It was You, Barry, it was You Raping You the whole time.

>>92863646

What is this comic about? It's a elseworld?

Why are Hal and Barry so underutilized as friends these days? They're awesome together, the ring transformations just cement that fact

>>92865437
Well, Barry's been dead, then the universe was rebooted, and it's sort of been a thing since the Nu52, and we're only now getting back to some semblance of their history.

>>92865437
Hal is for suffering, not friendship

What if Thawne keeps dying cause he wants to see death of the endless and has a crush on her. IS Thawne Thanos ? does he want death senpai to notice him ?

>>92859796
>In the Rebirth special he himself noticed that after getting stuck in the SF he's been de-aged for 10 years, and even appeared in his Kid Flash costume at first.

>>92850474
was "days" ago, implying that not even a week has passed.
Althugh, to be fair, there have been cop out deaths all the time in comics from the end of one issue to be falsified at the start of the next so idk?

>>92860904
Thawne is smart enough to know that Zolomon is currently not a thing and that every other person who was called a "Reverse Flash" isn't around anymore besides himself which he probably overbrims with egotistic glee over

story bump

>>92860527

He used to have that shtick of not liking the" "Reverse Flash" name but around the time him and Zolomon teamed up in Rogue War onward he kinda embraced the whole "Reverse" concept and even bragged about how he had "Created a Legacy in Reverse".
