In the year since he’s been absent from the DCU, things have changed for the scarlet speedster, and this issue attempts to explain where he’s been and what’s going on with those two kids of his.

And with the closing of the Flash poll, it’s time to turn our attention to Marvel and one Tony Stark.  Is Tony a Skrull? Take the Major Spoilers Poll to the right!
