The last decade has been pretty rough on Wally West; former Flash and the original Kid Flash. He’s been wiped from history, and from the memories of his nearest, and dearest. He’s even lost his wife, his kids, and his sanity. Worry not though, dear reader! Wally’s path to redemption began in the cosmic Flash Forward series, and will continue in the blockbuster Dark Nights: Death Metal: Speed Metal one-shot!
Check out some gorgeous art, and DC’s press release:
Joshua Williamson’s been teasing out the beginning to Dark Nights: Death Metal Speed Metal throughout the day today, with one very important message in mind: Wally West’s race is not over! The 48-page special arrives on September 22, so keep checking in on Williamson’s feed for any extra teases, and get ready for Speed Metal to arrive in a few short weeks!

This September, Dark Nights: Death Metal Unleashes Speed Metal!
It’s the drag race from hell! Taking place after the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal #3, the Darkest Knight is after Wally West and his Dr. Manhattan powers. Thankfully, Wally has back-up in the form of Barry Allen, Jay Garrick, and Wallace West! It’s a knockdown, drag-out race through the Wastelands as the Flash Family tries to stay steps ahead of the Darkest Knight and his Lightning Knights!
