Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing Comment: Wally West went missing back during the Infinite Crisis, with Bart Allen eventually taking the mantle of The Flash. Well, Bart ended up biting the big one, and now Wally's back as The Flash in The Wild Wests, which also celebrates the return of writer Mark Waid at the helm. The Wild Wests finds Wally back from the future and back in the saddle with his wife Linda and his twin children, who have speed powers of their own. This new family dynamic is what really hurts The Wild Wests the most, as Wally becomes more of a supporting character most of the time and his kids take a majority of the spotlight. This may not be so bad if it weren't for the fact that Wally's kids come off as kind of annoying, and the story as a whole just doesn't take off as it feels like it should. Daniel Acuna's artwork however is quite good, even if it may be an acquired taste at first for some. All in all, The Wild Wests isn't awful, but considering the legacy that Mark Waid left during his original run on the The Flash years ago, this TPB leaves a disappointing impression. Customer Rating: Summary: Great to have Mark Waid writing The Flash again Comment: I'm a huge Flash fan and I have Mark Waid to thank for that so it was great having him write Wally West again. After all these years, it felt like The Flash. It was also nice to see Wally and Linda as a family with kids. My only complain what that the story centered a bit too much on kids and not enough on Wally. Almost as if he were a supporting character in his own book, but like I said I liked the family dynamic so it didn't bother me too much. I was also thrilled to see Bart Allen as Impulse in the backup story, which only reinforced the fact that he should never have been shoehorned into the Kid Flash/Flash mantles. Overall, it was a fun read and I recommend it to any Flash and Mark Waid fan. More Reviews
