Time versus Flash number 225 or you never mess with a future man's gamble.

Welcome back for the Flash number 225, the January, February 1974 issue with a cover by Nick Hardy,

with the entire issue being edited by Julie Schwartz. Me only got one story in this one. It is Green Lantern

Master Criminal of the 25th century. Well, we'll see. We only got one story in this one. It is Green Lantern Master Criminal of the 25th

century. Well, we'll see. We start with a scene familiar to many DC comics readers. It's some type of

dinosaur tearing up a city bus with people screaming, calling it in a name, a garganta, not just like,

ah, there's a monster. They all have names, and everyone knows them on the street. You might think, when's the Flash going to run in and save these people? But, ah, it's not really happening. It's just a movie playing at the Central City cinema that Barry Allen and Iris Allen happened to be watching with Barry joking around, that Iris is shaking like Gorgantas right in front of them,

joking around a little bit. They'd like to have fun at the movie theater, but we cut to a scene

outside of the theater. So we see it's called Gorganta Returns. Sequel to the original Gorganta.

Unless it's one of those weird movies, they just kind of skipped over the origin story of Gogh.

Got right to the part where he returns.

Well, and we see outside of this cinema a giant polka-dotted horse,

like the size of a building running directly towards the theater.

This ain't going to end well.

We cut back inside the theater where stones are falling from the ceiling.

Like it's a cave. Like they're watching a movie in a cave everyone's freaking out barry's trying to keep everyone from

panicking they get outside the theater and this giant pocot-totted horse creatures on top of the

cinema stomping up and down there's still people inside the theater. So Barry Allen gets to work,

throws on his costume at super speed while vibrating so no one sees what's going on. He gets inside.

He's rounding up people trying to get him out when suddenly the entire building collapses.

And Iris freaks up, as Barry Whistleon said, there's still people inside. You didn't get everyone

out in time. When all of a sudden, popping out of a manhole, comes a bunch of people just getting thrown out of a manhole. And it was the flash who had done it. He vibrated everyone at super speed down into the basement, just as the entire building was starting to collapse, and he was able to burrow them and escape a hole
