I am a fellow massive fan of the flash thanks to both the TV show and the comic of recent years. It’s awesome that while he finally gets his due and pretty much voice is what everybody has been saying since Barry returned from the speed force. He was shoved back and Barry took center stage. He was even shoved out of the DC multi-verse following flashpoint. Wally needs his own comic series back and I hope this is the lead in.

I wonder when this is over what will they do with Wally? I know this can be summed up in 2 possibilities 1) put a bridge over and forget everything that happened or 2) continue with your story and deal with the consequences of your actions (assassinations, cover-ups, having a new "power" that must keep under control all the time (I mean that of shooting lightning that kills everyone around him (power that no flash or speedster has shown before or after)), that his identity is no longer secret, the return of his children (and when they find out that their father became a murderer) and many many other things.
