Our story is War Day, written by Carrie Bates, penciled by Carmine Infantino, inked by Frank McLaughlin, colored by Carl Gafford, lettered by Ben Oda. We begin, countryside of Central City, a giant mental patient, dressed in strange knight's armor with the rogues around him. What's going on? You remember last issue? mirror master andmaster and Captain Boomerang sprung Dufus, a giant lunatic, a monstrosity of a man. Out of a mental institution, they're going to use him to destroy the Flash. They went, they pulled all the money, they bought some fancy futuristic armor from the monitor. They're going to give it to Bigsters, what they're calling him, and they're going to make him attack the Flash, how are they going to do this? We don't know yet. Weather Wizard seems incredulous that this plan's going to work. Captain Brimmering and Miramaster saying it'll work, it'll work. At that exact moment, the trickster is laying part of the trap for both the Flash and Big Sur. He's floating through the air using his jet boots, and he's got two

footprints running away from the area where they're at. Dufus is still passed out from when

they stole him. Trickster's running around with these flash boots, making fake flash tracks. Captain

Colder runs up the hill yelling that Dufus has awakened.

1:28.5

Awoken, I guess, would be the proper term. Everyone needs to get to their spots. Everyone needs

1:32.8

to remember what they're supposed to do. Positions troop. Then they did some improv warmups.

1:37.7

They played some improvisational games so that they were able to speak more freely when it came

1:43.8

time to talk to Big Sur.

1:45.2

One of the Rokes has a background in community theater, I would imagine.

1:50.6

They go to their spots.

1:51.8

Big Sir wakes up.

1:53.6

Captain Colts telling everyone that the believability has got to be there.

1:56.9

He's got to believe what they're saying to him.

1:58.9

One of the other Rokes questions, the fact that once Big Sur wakes up, is he going to remember everything that happened, that he was stolen from the Looney Bin, what's going on with his legacy? Now, part of what the monitor stole them was a special helmet. They'll be sending telepathic noise into Big Sur's head, into Dufus' brain, meaning that he won't be able to quite remember exactly what's going on, which is why this story is going to be very important, and why that mouse, the Captain Cole, froze, is going to be extremely important. It's called motivation, actors. We see Bigster Awaken. Awoken God. Why would I even say that? He wakes up. There, simple. Eyes bulging, he's looking around. What does you see? Footprints are hiding away from where he is. And the rogue splayed out trickster, Captain Cold Weather Wizard, Captain Boomerang, Mirmaster laid out on the ground like someone hurt them a lot. We cut to the home of Dr. Henry Allen and his wife Nora were Cecil Horton.

2:51.3

It's interviewing them about the day that Barry Allen disappeared and the day that the Flash killed Reverse Flash.

2:58.2

And Henry and Orr gave him the standard speech. The Flash couldn't do anything about it. They don't know what happened to their son.

3:03.4

Flash was just trying to stop Reverse Flash from killing Fiona. It was a horrible mistake.
