Impulse and Superman continue to find more bombs off page, including one in the Vatican, where Impulse had to ask the pope whether he was Catholic - since he's heard so many people ask that question. So our two heroes head to the bullet train in Japan, where Impulse finds the bomb on the tracks and punts it to Superman. But Superman refuses, stops the bomb, and plays the next clue, which leads him to something he's both faster and more powerful than. In Mexico, Impulse quickly becomes bored and asks for quesadillas before they stop the bomb. Superman suggests they try Mexico, and Impulse heads down and back with a sombrero before Superman finishes speaking, earning Impulse the nickname Speedy Gonzales. Impulse throws out a bunch of possibilities, ranging from the back of a dollar bill to Tokyo, oh wait - not 'til 2099. Superman tells him Scavenger's clue directs him to a pyramid, church and skyscraper all together. Impulse and Superman have met before - during Zero Hour and the rebuilding of Metropolis - but Superman wishes he could have Jay Garrick or Jesse Quick helping him out. Anyway, since Wally is mysteriously missing, Max decides to send Impulse to help out Superman. I guess a few of the speedsters took Linda back home after Dead Heat. But when he calls Wally's house, Max Mercury answers. Since these "clues" are all ticking time bombs, Superman decides to call the fastest man alive to help him out. But it turns out, the bomb was merely a clue, sending Superman on a scavenger hunt across the world, set up by the aptly named villain, Scavenger. Our story begins with Superman stopping a bomb from exploding in Metropolis. Well, I guess DC needed to learn through trial and error. There is no sense of shading or depth - just horrible black blotches on top of everything. I wish I could see a black-and-white version of this issue, because the colors were just awful. I believe this is the beginning of the digital coloring era, and it got off to a rough start. Superman racing Impulse should be a glorious image, but instead of using Humberto Ramos' Impulse as a model, Immonen seemed to go back to some of those awful New Titans issues.Īnd another thing that plagues this cover and the issue as a whole is the coloring. I really hope Immonen, Marzan and that coloring company were rushed, because this cover is just bad. it takes my breath away, too, but for the wrong reasons. and Color Works put this image together so fast, it's no wonder it takes our breath away! Yeah. We've heard of going for a new world record, but this month's cover is ridiculous! Stuart Immonen, Jose Marzan, Jr. but without Savitar, too.Superman created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster Rely on his team to catch Savitar immediately, and he'd be without Iris. Not create a Time Remnant in his efforts to defeat Savitar. Even if Iris was killed, Barry could still stop the loop from continuing by. That lingering second thing he needs is a curious twist. Which means he's fully aware that he needs to play the role Savitar did for him, and kill Iris - beginning the cycle of torment all over again. Savitar is fully aware of his true identity as a Barry Allen Time Remnant that this current hero has yet to create. That's as clear a perspective on Savitar's goal as can probably be offered. it may sound ironic given who I'm talking to, but I'll keep to myself." And I only need two more things: for Iris to die so that you are driven so far into the dark that I can be born. And that's when I realized the truth, Barry: God feels no pain. It's the kind of science fiction that only sounds complicated when you try to explain it, so fortunately, the evil Barry/Time Remnant/Savitar revealed at the end of the previous episode states it plainly for our Barry in the opening scene: It was no accident, but the required Remnant that would survive beyond Savitar's imprisonment in the Speed Force, begin to come apart at the seams, and eventually realize its true destiny. "mostly." That's the detail that sends the entire time loop in motion, with Cisco deducing that Savitar actually let a single Time Remnant of Barry survive. To accomplish the task, FutureBarry explained, he had even created Time Remnants of himself (traveling backwards a short while, and pulling that version forward) which Savitar had killed. Savitar had been caught alright, but not before he killed Iris. The results weren't as hopeful as expected, with the team disbanded, scarred, and broken. For those who recall Barry's trip to 2024, he set out to discover just how he and his friend managed to defeat Savitar (as they clearly had, since there was no mention of him in the infamous future newspaper in their possession). Labs whiteboard - in this case, by Cisco Ramon. The timeline re-writing and time travel behind Barry's trip into becoming Savitar is helpfully illustrated, as always, upon the S.T.A.R.
