"Batman Who Laughs had the power of an ancient god to steal the Mobius Chair" Boy if only you had the powers equal to that Wally.....
On a note it's weird we're still painting Doctor Manhattan as evil when by the time we get to Doomsday Clock...He's not really. Like ok him taking the Lantern away from Alan Scott started the Domino effect that led to New 52 but there's definitely been a big disconnect to what we were led to believe with him. Hell I still wish I knew what his goals with Jor-El were before Brian went "Yeah Jor-El didn't do anything wrong right? Let's have him take Lois & Jon on vacation! Here's Rogol Zal he was created by Jor-El btw isn't he cool?"

Lots of positive vibes in the Speedster books today
Barry forgives Thawne and chooses to reset him by omitting his knowledge of Reverse Flash's identity, so now he's normal again and curating the Flash Museum for the kiddies, the display of Reverse Flash simply has the identity designation as 'unknown'...however, as the Reverse Flash is still part of the museum's history, there's always the chance he'll come back
And in Speed Metal We discover the mobius chair rejected the Batman Who Laughs. Wally secures it after he convinces Barry and the rest to run towards an army of Dark Flashes instead of away from them, and by securing the chair, Wally suceeds in bringing all of the Flash family, including Linda and the Kids, to a safe zone in the Speed Force and is reunited with his family
Over in Action Comics...Bendis is either dicking around with popular fan theories, or he's perhaps dead serious when teasing the possibility the Lois Lane of his entire run has been from another Earth the entire time. Oh, and Leone of the Invisible Mafia is from the same Earth Jon "grew up on"
Over in Batgirl..what a surprise, Babs' brother James is the villain again! James kills himself, and Jim Gordon blames Batgirl and wants to arrest her, Babs decides to quit. This is the worst of so many bad runs for the character yet, Babs is thoroughly unlikeable all issue too.
Shazam ends on a nice enough note...this one isn't by Johns, but I kind of wish this last creative team got a chance here, there's an interesting dynamic between Billy and his teacher.

I bet you that Speed Metal's gonna be tarnished next issue. The way Shittest Knight laughed when Wally got the chair you know "It was all part of his plan & Robin King destroyed the Speed Force because he had a used condom full of Johnny Quick's ashes to murder it" or something along the lines of hack writing the event churns out.
As for Flash it's a decent end. The run in general had it's ups & downs primarily due to editorial fuckery but I guess it could be seen as the best Flash run of the 2010's.

Shazam's final issue ends on a "What Could Have Been" note, as it introduces a new substitute teacher for Billy's class that is quite witty, Billy rescues her from a fire but her apartment burns down and he comforts her, they eat out at a diner and they give each other looks that suggest a lot of body chemistry, but a robot attacks so he's off. Later Billy returns to school and compliments the teacher, who thanks him before demanding where his homework is.
I'm going to headcanon the look she gives Billy after this compliment as her realising he's Shazam
Everyone at 4chan wants them to f*ck.

Covers like that always amuse me. Like "Who forgot to fill in a few pixels in MS Paint!?"

Saw an issue of an X-men title leaked on tumblr that promises the thing hinted at Post-Empyre. SWORD is back under the Dawn of X banner with Abigail Brand leading but also characters like Young!Cable, Manifold, Wiz Kid & 2 others I don't quite recognize yet.

Well it was teased at aftermath empyre book there at end. I know that. I just didn't expect it as soon nor as an X-title. Especially since Empyre was an Avengers/F4 event.
