    The Flash Vol. 1 "Move Forward"

    The Flash Vol. 1 "Move Forward"

    Post Flashpoint, things are a little different in Barry Allen's world, but at least now we know that the opposite of a man so fast he can be anywhere at once is a bunch of the same dude who can all go different places! Weird, right? It is!
