The march toward DC's future begins with Generation Zero: Gods Among Us! It all starts here, and everything counts. This issue features a version of the story "Flash Forward: Epilogue" that is expanded by 13 pages from its original publication in The Flash #750, with new material by the flash Forward team of writer Scott Lobdell and artist Brett Booth. In order to save his children and the multiverse itself, Wally West makes the ultimate sacrifice, taking his place in the Mobius Chair. Unbeknownst to him, the chair is packing a little extra power, having been imbued with the godlike powers of Dr. Manhattan! Now armed with infinite knowledge-and the powers of a god-Wally West can see the past, present and future of the DC Universe all at once...including what needs to be changed. This issue also includes a behind-the-scenes sneak peak at the upcoming Dark Nights: Death Metal!

It looks somewhat interesting, but also it bothers me for co-opting Watchmen. That said, I've seen speculation that without Didio it might change. A lot.

Generation Zero: How Wally West Is the Key to Fixing DC's Broken Timeline
Wally West wants to remake the DCU as we know it.

DC Comics has been making a concerted effort in 2020 to simplify the increasingly convoluted DC Universe timeline. A lot of that effort hinges on the Free Comic Book Day 2020 release Generation Zero, a follow-up to Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth's Flash Forward miniseries that reveals what happens when former Flash Wally West becomes the new Doctor Manhattan. Unfortunately, with FCBD being delayed due to coronavirus concerns, Generation Zero is only just now seeing the light of day, and not as a standalone FCBD release.
Instead, this story makes its debut as a bonus epilogue included in the Flash Forward trade paperback collection released on July 7. IGN has confirmed with DC that the standalone FCBD issue has been canceled and the Flash Forward TPB is the only place Generation Zero will be published.

This move certainly raises questions about the fate of DC's previously announced Generation miniseries and the mysterious 5G initiative the publisher has been alluding to over the past year. However, Generation Zero makes one thing clear - Wally West has a key part to play in remaking the DCU as we know it. Read on to find out what happens in this story and how Generation Zero connects the dots between key stories like Doomsday Clock and Dark Nights: Death Metal.
