What is Wally West looking for?
Barry has spent years trying to figure out what Wally is feeding off but trying to stop him might be his biggest mistake.
Jesus, where do I even start?
As I said before, the premise that Brandon Vietti came up with was kinda toxic but ultimately its worst sin is that the execution was pretty mediocre as a whole. Now it's not only mediocre but also nonsensical. The time gap between this issue and the last one at least makes it more fitting into the Future State timeline but that's the only thing that is fitting due that it seems like Vietti wanted to use multiple ideas at the same time but none of them are well-executed.
First of, it turns out that Famine possessed Wally and is feeding off hope which considering we're talking about The Flash is an appropriate theme to implement but the inclusion of such supernatural being is pretty out of place for the character and series.
Second, this concludes in a rather abrupt way with Barry being killed and the ending supposedly tying in with the Future State: Teen Titans title in a really poor manner and I mean, really poor, Cybeast just appear at the end basically saying "Oh hey, you can continue this story in the other book that had nothing to do with this I guess".
Finally, it almost seems like this was originally planned as a Tales from the Dark Multiverse tie-in because of the "dark twist" and how the hero loses at the end but, since Vietti didn't get to tell it there, he probably decided to put into Future State without realizing that all the themes clash with one another. Hell, even the time skip seems forced because it barely contributed to the little plot there is.
Brandon Peterson and Will Conrad handle the art and their work is at least solid with expressive characters and a vibrant style.
Aside from that, this was a complete waste of paper.
