Okay, so, I am late as heck to this because the next issue is coming out in three days, but it’s been a busy week. That said, if you haven’t read the issue yet, spoilers ahead.
I’m not really loving the villains this issue; Gemini just doesn’t click for me, and Psych strikes me as a… an utter goober, really. I can’t put it better than that.
On the plus side, although this is inexplicably not focussed on more: Roy is alive! Roy is alive and running around Zandia! ♥️🌈 Also, Iris continues to be sensible and bad-ass. Someday Barry will listen to her soon enough, although it was nice to see him trusting her when the telepath started claiming that she’s lying.
I got two pages of Detective Burns and Commander Cold, which I suppose is about all I could hope for. They’re chasing down a lead on the mysterious weapons when said lead turns a corner and mysteriously vanishes. Then a trapdoor in the street springs open (causing the bike to crash), and they both tumble down into a… a…
Into some kind of weird fun house.
Which Commander Cold recognizes from the future, seems to think shouldn’t have occurred at this point (the “not yet”, plus the note from the editor), and is (since his speech is not nearly that hesitant most times–I’d say “is not ever” except I can’t pull out all the issues to double-check RN) really a bit unnerved by.
I really want to know what James Jesse is up to now. If he’s going to get control of the entire city (as per @gorogues April solicits, here), including what looks like August Heart and Wally, why is it happening sooner than Commander Cold knows it should happen? Does it tie into how he got out of Iron Heights, and how he got Axel out? Is it going to tie into the Still Force at all, or is the Force Quest going to get wrapped up with a “the Still Force was within you all along, and by the way you should listen to Iris” platitude before Barry heads back to Central?
