YAYYY! more Hartley and David content! This was a good read and I hope both are alive till the end.
It was pretty good! I'm not a fan of zombies at all so the DCeased concept isn't my favourite, but the character moments in the various series are great.
My suspicion is that Hartley doesn't survive because he's amongst Jimmy Olsen's photos commemorating the heroes in the very first issue, but you never know. Maybe he manages to escape the planet and Jimmy's just remembering the people who were important in the fight.

Why hypnosis via Negative Speed Force? Eobard's had that power for ages! Way back when he was trying to force Albert to become Doctor Alchemy.
That's a good point. I always chalked up that incident to the same phenomenon as half the Rogues having psi powers during the Silver and Bronze Age but never demonstrated it again after one use, but there is precedent for it in his case. It still comes out of left field though, because I think only a handful of people remember it and there's no reference to that story in the issue.

Also, Roscoe's been upgraded to tapping into the Speed Force? I thought he was a pseudo-speedster, using telekinesis to propel himself. Kind of like Zolomon manipulating time's flow to simulate superspeed.
We don't know if this Roscoe taps into the Speed Force, but the New 52 Roscoe Dillon did (Turbine did too) and this Roscoe's current status/powers is unclear. Regardless, I don't think the issue was explicitly talking about those with a Speed Force connection, it specifically mentioned vibrations. I'd think that anyone able to move at high speed could affect such vibrations, and so can people like Hartley and probably the Fiddler.

Holy shit they brought Henry back?!?! And those characters from the bad Force Quest arc???!!! And XS?!?!?!?! Man they really did bring back everyone
Pretty much! I'm a little surprised Hartley isn't there, but nearly everyone got at least a shout-out. Even Johnny Quick was mentioned.

Eobard did have psychic powers in some of the golden age comics. Not exactly speedforce hypnosis, but then they didn't have the speedfofce then either.
Yeah, though as noted above, a lot of Flash villains inexplicably had psi powers in one issue during the Silver/Bronze Ages and never showed them again.

Yep, those randomly materialised mental powers that he used to knock Barry out. But now he upgraded those to the "Inflict Intrusive Thoughts" level.
Heh, that's the perfect name for his ability :D

Blonde Hartley always makes me go "yeeehhhnope", but this is nice! "Have you tried turning your flute upside down", *snort* Perfect :D
Yeah, I really like Tom Taylor's work. And though zombies are not my cup of tea, I enjoy the way he mixes humour and horror/drama in his comics...it can be a bit of emotional whiplash at times, but in a good way.

Im Happy that he is back. But i kinda expected that He left with Wally to the other earth after Wally safed him... Did Wally just saved him from a few Zombies and then forgott ?
Wally was rescuing a city of people so maybe he did lose track of a few, or maybe Hartley went back for David or his flute and missed his opportunity to escape. It'd be interesting if the reason is addressed in upcoming issues.

Of all the panels I could have wanted, I would never have guessed that one of them would be David Singh - super serious police captain - and Hartley being carried by the scruff of the neck like unruly kittens XD
I love the way you've put that :D Best description ever!
