Our cover shows an army of Flashes battling Eclipso on the Moon. It's ... not terribly exciting. That may be mainly because I'm not really into the whole concept of this story, but it's also due to the style of this cover being so different from the interior art. I would have preferred to see Vasco Georgiev draw this. Anyway, I'm once again skipping the variant covers, as they do not include Impulse.
Speaking of Impulse, he barely makes an appearance in this issue. But since he does speak, I am honor-bound to report on it. So as I already mentioned, the Flash is fighting a war against Eclipso on the Moon. And because Simon Spurrier has severely power-boosted the Flash, Wally has the ability to create a seemingly endless army of duplicates of himself. I'm not too concerned about the particulars. All that matters for this blog is that the various members of the Flash Family are serving as generals, leading platoons of Wally's duplicates.
I do have to admit that I'm slightly intrigued by the idea of seeing Impulse command a couple hundred Wally clones in battle. Unfortunately, we don't get to see any of that. Just Bart delivering a report, which is ignored. Spurrier is much more interested in developing Wally's children, who also have insane, over-the-top abilities. It's all rather boring and frustrating for me, but I suppose I should be grateful for these table scraps being tossed to us Impulse fans.
Next time: The Flash #23
