shankieSo. The Flash #164-169, the "Wonderland" storyarc...
... has nothing to do with this panel. XD
Ahem. So, the story begins with Wally being arrested. And goes downhill from there real, real quick. With the help of Captain Cold and the Mirror Master, he eventually makes it out of the crazy mess he's landed in this time. My Rogues love is running very high.
This is the story where Wally really learned to appreciate the Rogues; it's also littered with really dark imagery and dead mentors coming back to haunt. And I really love the way Len's costume and cold gun are drawn in this.
Yeah, this place Wally's ended up? Not exactly pleasant. And it only gets worse before it gets better.
And... who do we have coming to his rescue?

Ahem. So. Wally and Len figure out they've ended up in a mirror world where there were never any speedsters. No Flash, no Kid Flash, and it's not pretty. By the time Dick becomes Nightwing, superheroes have become very Wildstorm, the survivors now using lethal force.
Wally tries to find where Jay is (dead, sadly) and Len revisits his childhood.
Wally suiting up never ceases to be cool as hell.
Mirror Master shows up, and reveals that he's the one who created this world; he wanted to see what it'd be like to have a reality where the Flash never existed, and now he's stuck here, too.
The plan is, break into the Hal Jordan Museum, steal some tech that Mirror Master needs, and go home. Of course, it doesn't work like that. Plunder's a big bad dude on their trail, and sets off Mirror Master's gun, which makes things go nuts and sics their doubles on them. With the other two, it's your typical fight-your-evil-twin fight, but for Captain Cold?
Cold and Mirror Master get captured, and Wally's on a mission to save them so he can save himself.
So Wally goes home and everything's peachy, right?
Yeah, right.
Keystone City is completely gone; and with the help of Mirror Master, they do some more dimension-hopping into a story about this angry kid who grew up to be an angry magican, and Wally has an adventure that looks a little something like this:
In the end, it all works out. Of course.
I know it's a little redundant to say at this point, but I really love Flash comics.
