But who is Wally, really? If he was Iris's nephew, then he would have to be related to Eric and Fran Russell too...or is his family only restricted to Professor Ira West?

Wally's relation to Iris isn't by blood. Not with the weird Iris-is-from-the-future retcon.
As for the future -- who knows. We know Bart's mum is Owen's mum too, which leaves a few things to be addressed still. We also know that Jenni is nowhere to be found as of yet. She's a decendent of Barry, not Wally, though so we'll see if the upcoming crisis affects her or not. Should be interesting.

It all kind of ended too fast for me too. I agree that Rogue War was a great story though, and I'm sad to see it end! (A real first for me in the last few years). I really hope Geoff can work on the Rogues more often in the next few years.
Not sure what to expect with Wally and Linda now, with the babies born. Some rumors have been flying around that Barry might come back and retake the mantle...I don't know if I can see them doing that though, or if I really want them too. I love Wally as the Flash, but can it work so well with him having two babies?
Seeing two Flash's and two Zooms was cool though. And the Top is not dead, right? He ended up being a pretty intense villain.
A great run with Geoff on the Flash. In my opinion, the best run on a super-hero comic in a looooong time, and consistently the best comic out there for months. Here's hoping the inevitable fizzle that follows a great writer departing doesn't happen soon, and Darwyn Cooke can come on board for a great story to make way for a great new creative team.

well according to Johns in Wizard, he wanted to kill off two rogues which he did - the Top and Plunder. So The Top is pretty much deader than ever.

Trickster's (not the new one) situation begs for further exploration. Surely, Geoff Johns knows that James Jesse's moral position had nothing to do with The Top and any projected mental meddling.
I wanted more Magenta, Trickster, Piper, Captain Cold, etc.-- but I think that this story will be remembered as a good one... with rereading? Once we've seen the Rogues appear again.

... and it's a distinct improvement over last issue. But that ain't saying much.
Something about it reminded me of the TITANS series before the current one. Not sure what, exactly...
The time travel dream was disconcerting. Paired with the title FINISH LINE and this issue's LAST DAYS, it's all a bit too ominous.
Vandal Savage (I'm assuming) has set up a group of henchmen in a church basement!? Uh-uh.
This isn't the ongoing new creative team, is it? That hasn't been announced and I missed it, I hope.

Me too.

Yeah, even that, wise guy, I'm sorry to say. We, uh, are still trying to figure out exactly how the kids were conceived.
Hilarity. That really won me over. Pooooor Linda.

#228's out-- with a guest appearance by Nightwing. Reading this characterization of NW after last week's Supergirl, the most recent issue of JLA and Dick's own title leaves me scratching my head. Are there multiple Dick Graysons running around the DCU, like there's more than one Lex Luthor? Nothing else makes sense.

I didn't even really read the Vandal Savage part of the story. Just skimmed through. The closing pages featuring the speedsters together out of costume was fairly good- though the dialogue seemed off somehow. Still, their essential characters came through. It's possible we won't see these particular characters all gathered together again, so I'm glad we got this scene, at least.

Need I say, SPOILERS!!!!!
And with every announcement, I grow closer to dropping what few titles I still buy. I think I've worked it out. DC hates the readers it gathered in the 90s and is doing its best to drive us away.
