At the climax of Flashpoint in 2011, Professor Zoom died, stabbed through the chest with a sword by Thomas Wayne, the Flashpoint Batman. Since that moment, all throughout the rebooted continuity of the post-Flashpoint era, we have yet to see Eobard Thawne. In fact, readers of Flash were given an all new Reverse-Flash in the form of Daniel West. But the 25th-Century archenemy of Barry Allen finally made his return this week in Flash #41. Robert Venditti and Van Jensen set the stage for this return at the end of their “Future Flash” arc, when Professor Zoom appeared within the Speed Force to recruit members for his Flash kill squad.
