3 posts | 9 read
Part of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling, all-new line of volume one graphic novels, DC Universe Rebirth! His name is Barry Allen, and he’s the Fastest Man Alive. But he’s also so much more. As he learns more about the Speed Force that fuels his incredible powers, the Flash is also discovering secrets about his past beyond anything he’d ever dreamed-how he created a Flashpoint that changed history and helped create a new world, watched over by forces unknown. And when the same Speed Force that flows through him is unleashed all over Central City, striking cops, criminals and ordinary civilians alike, it’s up to the Flash to train this new wave of speedsters to use their amazing abilities wisely. But while some may become his partners in crime-fighting-forming a true “Speed Force”-others will use their godlike powers for a more sinister purpose. And the Flash is about to learn that there’s some evil even he can’t outrun… The race is on as writer Joshua Williamson (DEATHSTROKE) and artist Carmine di Giandomenico (All New X-Factor) present THE FLASH VOL. 1: LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE-the starting line of a bold new era for the Scarlet Speedster, bursting from the blockbuster DC Universe Rebirth event! Collects THE FLASH: REBIRTH #1 and THE FLASH #1-8.

Huge improvement over the New 52 Flash stuff, but they still haven't found a way to make super speed action visually coherent and interesting beyond giving it an interesting color palette. Still, a solid villain and some good new characters make up for Williamson's almost staggeringly clumsy dialogue. Probably worth skipping the Rebirth bit at the start, as it will just confuse people not following the DC metastory.

As someone who watches the Flash on TV I wasn't sure I would be able to pick up the storyline. But it actually helped. This story does not go with the tv show, but rather the TV show after the timeline has been changed. It's was easy to follow and the story is interesting. I quite enjoyed it. I also really like that it didn't not have the divisions all the other rebirth titles have that causes the story to skip around. I enjoyed that as wall.
