"Do you understand? It was more than strength or speed. I was
fighting just for myself. Flash was fighting for more than that. And it
gave him an edge." —Jerry McGee |

SUMMARY: Tina, Jerry, and Mason find themselves in
Swainsville, New Mexico as they continue their search for the missing
Wally West. Jerry finds both the living conditions and the local cuisine
less than comforting but he's determined to return a favor by saving the
life of the hero who once saved his. While the trio searches for the
Flash, however, the people of Swainsville are obsessed with seeking the
urban legend known as the Porcupine Man. Local lore tells of a
mysterious creature with lengthy spikes protruding from all over its
body. It lurks in shadows, attacking livestock and frightening the
townsfolk. The local madman who's been pretending to be the Flash claims
to have seen the creature, as does the waitress at a nearby diner. Tina,
Jerry, and Mason pay a visit to the young woman's home that evening in
search of more facts. What they find tucked away in her chicken coop is
the shocking source of the latest rash of Porcupine Man sightings. Wally
West is alive but injured, and his body's been covered by an array of
sharp spines!
