WAR IS OVER AND MUCH HAS CHANGED
Posted: 080118

Josh Williamson’s Flash War arc ended with Flash #50 and created quite a few changes. The Speed Force is tattered and Hunter Zolomon has tapped into the Sage Force and the Strength Force while trying to access something called the Still Force. Bart Allen has returned to the Flash family with the collapse of the Force Wall and the repercussions of that will be in the background of the series. Impulse may not even be remembered after his return to the timeline. The arc made Hypertime and time travel off the table and Williamson says he will gradually show what that really means to the title and the Flash family. #52 through #57 will reveal all we need to know about the new Forces and how dangerous they are. The mysterious Still Force creates a situation in which nothing is ever in motion which creates decay and entropy. Justice League #7 will show just how dangerous the Still Force is. Future issues of Flash will reveal the ultimate goal of Hunter Zolomon and show Barry’s reaction to no longer being the fastest man alive since Wally has a connection to what’s left of the Speed Force stronger than his. The major new villain introduced at the end of #50 will return in #58 as Barry tries to regain the mantle of being the fastest man alive again.
