Flash Rebirth
Comic Summary: Written by Geoff Johns Art and covers by Ethan Van Sciver Through the decades, many heroes have taken the mantle of The Flash, but they all ride the lightning that crackles in the wake of the greatest hero the DC Universe has ever known, the man who sacrificed himself to save the Multiverse: Barry Allen! Following the events of FINAL CRISIS, Barry has beaten death and returned to a fast-paced world that a man out of time wouldn't recognize. Or is it a world that is only just now catching up? All the running he's done before was just a warmup for the high-speed race that he and every other Flash must now run, because even though one speedster might have beaten death, another has just turned up dead! From Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, the visionaries responsible for the blockbuster GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH and THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR, comes the start of an explosive and jaw-dropping epic that will reintroduce to the modern age the hero who single-handedly birthed the Silver Age of comics! DC history will be made, and the Flash legacy will be redefined! Retailers please note: This issue will ship with two covers.

Customer Reviews
You know what? I was totally underwhelmed by the whole thing. I guess I’ve come to expect greatness from Johns, but somethings missing. My main gripe I suppose is that it’s just not necessary. I was there with COIE #8 when Barry Allen died. I was never a great fan of the scarlett speedster to begin with, but his death was uberheroic and almost brught a tear to my twelve year old eyes.
Now Kara's death the month before though really tore me up. Again, Supergirl was not a character I particularly grooved on, but her final appearances in 1985 coupled with my purchase of some reprints of her early adventures the year before, caused me to feel sadness and loss over her death.The ultimate goal of Crisis was to make things simpler and more streamlined. Instead what we've been left with is 24 years of reboot after reboot. I'm really kind of sick of the whole mess. Dan Didio, you suck. Leave the dead alone. Barry had lost his way by summer of 1985, in fact, his death made him a bigger figure in the DCU than he was in life at the time of his series' cancellation.Wally West became Flash for me and probably for a lot of folks out there in fandom today. With the death and resurrection of all these Silver Age heroes, and Blackest Night on its way, We may as well start every series over at #1 and go back to the Pre-Crisis style of continuity. None of the major changes made after the Crisis have held up except for one. Jason Todd, was turned into a antisocial nutjob during the O'neal editorial reign of the Bat-Titles, and he's still a turd. Only now he's a ressurected homicidal turd.I’m going to give it one more issue, but I may have to drop this mess. I almost wish I hadn’t started buying new issues again. I should have stuck with filling in the missing links of my 70’s-90’s collection.
