Whoops, did not finish this story line before reading the JLE comics!

That's okay though. I mainly read this issue to see the first appearance of Linda Park!

Bonus, Captain Cold and Golden Glider. Who don’t seem as reformed as they'd like the public to think.

From such a simple beginning who would have guessed the this issue would introduce the reporter who is the center of Wally's life. It was fun though not as dramatic as the book has become. In some I miss this simpler take on the Flash. He was more real with real problems and no money. I enjoyed it.
