Description: Struck by a bolt of lightning and doused in chemicals, Central City police scientist Barry Allen was transformed in to the Fastest Man Alive. But there are some things even the Flash can’t outrun. In the supermax prison called Iron Heights, the Flash’s most dangerous enemy plans his escape, dreams of revenge, and prepares to put the Flash on ice for good—driven by a personal grudge the Flash can’t see coming. And deep within the Flash himself, incredible new powers are ready to be unleashed—unforeseen, unexplored abilities fuelled by the same Speed Force that makes the Flash run, and which could be his greatest weapon… or his worst nightmare. Showcases the Flash's likability and almost a hint of goofiness. a lot of potential for greatness. - USA Today. A visual treat. any reader can easily jump on board. - The New York Times.

Review: I feel the other reviews of this book here are a little bit harsh really. The snippets on the back of this book are a much more accurate reflection of the contents. This new version of The Flash sets off at a brisk pace and slowly picks up pace as it goes along. It's a simple and straightforward superhero story with a very likeable and believable main character. What really comes across is how much the writers both like and understand Barry Allen -and that can be extremely important in comics. You can feel the passion and effort that this new creative team are putting into every page. And some of the pages are absolutely breathtaking. Has to be seen to be believed. The artwork is top notch. I would say if you've ever wanted to get into The Flash and if you want a good fun superhero book to read, you could do a lot worse than buying this. A lot worse.

Review: I don't know if I liked it. Weird story set up. - firstly, there is no origin story - first story is about a friend of flash - friend has healing factors - others after friend for said factor (wolverine anyone?) - Barry tries to help him - second story is about Barry's speed force - speed force is ripping worm holes/vortexes - Barry gets sent through one into a gorilla world that would fit in with planet of the apes Both stories were a little weak. I found the start of the second story boring, losing interest fairly quickly. The plots were boring, and the allude to Planet of the Apes above made my eyes roll. Not crazy on the art work. Numerous, and I mean numerous, small frames on one page showing multiple things in an attempt to show you how quick flash processes the world. As a reader it just made the story seem disjointed, and at times rushed. Overall, not too keen. I bought the comic as it was on a £3 sale and because I thought I might enjoy it after the Flash series started on Sky1. The comic is no where near as good as the show which is a shame. If you can get it on sale it's an okay read.
