SUMMARY:
The Flash has followed the Cobalt Blue prophecy to its end, the
30th century and the last days of Barry Allen's life. Here, Wally and
his famed predecessor must fight side-by-side against an army of
speedsters possessed by the hate of Cobalt Blue's magic gem. It's a
difficult experience for Wally, both physically and emotionally. The
onetime Kid Flash has long thought himself unable to face his Uncle
Barry in this future world because of his foreknowledge of the great
hero's demise in the historic Crisis War. Barry and Wally can't help but
enjoy working together once more, despite the dangers, and by raiding
the future's Flash Museum they obtain the weapons of the Rogues Gallery
and use them to fend off the zombie speedsters long enough to save Jay
Garrick from the diabolical Malcolm Thawne. United, together, working as
one, history's three greatest Flashes must save their future descendants
and preserve the timeline. During the ensuing battle Wally's
preoccupation with Barry's seemingly predetermined fate continues to
haunt him. He is so certain of his predecessor's destiny, in fact, that
he fails to realize that Thawne has already succeeded in altering
history! The Crisis on Infinite Earths looms, the Anti-Monitor is
preparing for the annihilation of the universe, and this time around
there may not be a Barry Allen to stop it!
