Convergence Flash #1

Part of DC's 2015 Convergence event, this first issue of two finds the Scarlet Speedster in full stride — Michael Allred's cover captures the Flash blazing over a city skyline, lightning-streaked speed lines trailing behind him against a bold honeycomb-patterned backdrop. The clean, energetic linework gives the image a wonderfully retro feel that suits the character beautifully. Writer Dan Abnett teams with artist Federico Dallocchio and colorist Veronica Gandini to bring "Out of the Running" to life — a title that hints at intriguing tension for the world's fastest man.
