Since the beginning of the New 52, readers have been learning about the new incarnation of Barry Allen. Where the previous creative team focused on establishing Barry in the context of the New 52, the new creators are starting up their run by focusing on his future. Oh, and if you were wondering, things aren’t exactly looking up. Fortunately, the series itself by co-writers Robert Venditti and Van Jensen and artist Brett Booth delivers an intriguing, if imperfect, new chapter for the Scarlet Speedster.
In many ways, issue #30 is all about looking ahead. Not only do we catch glimpses of the Flash five years from now, but we also see events 20 years ahead. While both instances are literal looks ahead for this series, they are really representative of regret and looking back at one's mistakes. The theme of regret extends into the present as well. After the events of Forever Evil, Barry finds himself feeling guilty over not being able to save his city from a great deal of destruction.
