Barry Allen Remembers Wally West
One of the biggest downsides of Flashpoint and the New 52 is how it removed Wally West from existence (well, the original ginger-haired Wally). It burned a hole in the hearts of Flash fans everywhere and no one could understand why such a beloved character would be wiped away from continuity.
Step in DC Universe: Rebirth #1 to make amends. Right off the bat, it brings back one of our favorite speedsters and explains where he fits into the whole scheme of things. Not just that, but it reunites Wally with his friend and mentor, Barry Allen, in a major climax. When Barry finally remembers him and they embrace, it’s one of the most emotional scenes in comic book history.
We’ve seen buttons, battles, and broken spirits, but nothing compares to Barry and Wally’s heartfelt reunion in that standalone special. It’s moments like this one that make you proud of being a comic book fan and sharing in the unbridled joy.
