Some thoughts about Flash Forward #2

Can Wally West be the hope of the Multiverse?

Wally has been given the mission of save other universes where he might find some familiar faces but the least expected ones could be still far away.

This is actually turning into a surprisingly good title.

Scott Lobdell offers a new installment where he plays with the idea of Wally traversing the Multiverse in his typical spectacular way. There are quite a few places that Wally visits here like the universe of President Superman where most of the Justice League are black people and even the DC counterpart of the Marvel universe which considering Lobdell's history with that company, it feels appropriate and he actually portrays them in a pretty 90s extravagant manner which makes it even more fitting.

This might be compared to the current story in Justice League which I have called "shallow spectacle" but the thing is that Lobdell himself doesn't overdo it and most importantly, doesn't take it as seriously, this is pretty much pure comic book fun and it seems like the writer is really enjoying exploring this Multiverse.

The best surprise comes at the end though with two important characters appearing and I really hope this brings positive ramifications for Wally.

Brett Booth remains in art duties and he's also pretty fitting here considering his energetic style that also gets the 90s vibe of the story ptetty well.

Solid read, I just hope these changes stay.
