Titans: The Return of Wally West Review



Finished reading Titans: The Return of Wally West, continuing for the events of Titans Hunt and picking up where DC Universe Rebirth ended writer Dan Abnett brings the former Kid Flash, Wally West back into the team that have just remembered their time with each other with some memories still missing due to Wally being gone for so long. The book opens with Wally at Nightwing's place in Gotham as Dick returns home and confront Wally for braking in, only for Dick to remember Wally when he makes contact as lightning for Wally's powers. After seeing their fellow teammate knocked to the ground the rest of the Titans attack Wally in thinking he's a threat. After Wally gets everyone of his old friends to remember him Wally catches the team up on where he's been as Lilith reads is mind when she inadvertently brings back classic Flash villain Abra Kadabra causing the team to head to Keystone City as Kadabra summons younger versions of the Titans who begin to attack the city as its revealed the Kadabra was the one who thrown Wally in to the time stream leading to everyone to forget him. Overall this was an amazing book as it cements the Titans and Wally West back into the DC universe thanks to how team feels more unified since reforming. The spotlight of the story does focus on Wally Wast with how he try's to readjust to how different the world is to how he remembers and the main antagonist of the book being Abra Kadabra, surprisingly and to the credit of the writing the book still makes time for other characters to have some great development and a nice amount of time to shine. The artwork by Brett Booth is amazing as it showcases each characters powers and abilities extremely well within the fight scene while also draw some great emotional moments within the book that are all brought to life thanks to the life with the help of the rest of the art team. 9/10.
