Indeed, Bart Allen shows his fuzzy little head in this week's issue of The Flash. He's cranky with Barry for being a tool, standing in for the reader, who think Barry is being a tool. In the issue Barry ditches the family picnic to go investigate crime, because he's a serious CSI guy now. You can't tell because he forgot his sunglasses.In other news, we found out last issue that Hot Pursuit was Barry. This issue: From an alternate universe! And there's a DNA test to prove it. So we know it's Barry: Supertool in every universe as opposed to Professor Zoom with amnesia again, who ran around pretending to be Barry and fooling friends and family for funsies once. It's also not Barry's evil twin, Malcolm Thawne, who ran around being a dick for no reason once and therefore easily mistakable for Barry. These are obviously serious questions that needed to be addressed. Because comics. That's why.
God I love this book.
Anyway, exposition setting up for Flashpoint, Barry failing at having a healthy relationship with his grandson (probably due to guilt issues of being a literally dead beat dad for all of his children's lives), another dead body, and an old co-worker shows up for hugs. It's a lady and workplace gossip is sure to be stirred.
Next month: Traumatized children!
