"Chapter 1: Lost" kicks off the DC Rebirth Omnibus Expanded Edition with a haunting, time-bending mystery: Wally West, suddenly restored to his youthful Kid Flash form outside the New 52 timeline, reaches out to Batman in desperate hope of being recognized—only to vanish back into the Speed Force before a word is spoken. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Gary Frank and Ethan Van Sciver, with colors by Jason Wright and Brad Anderson, this pivotal story reveals that the New 52’s origin wasn’t just a reboot—it was a deliberate alteration, with an unseen force erasing a decade from the heroes’ lives. The cover, by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, captures Wally’s fractured moment of return.
In "Chapter 1: Lost," Wally West—now a younger Kid Flash, stranded outside the normal timeline—reaches out to Batman in a desperate bid for recognition, only to vanish back into the Speed Force before he can be heard. As memories of the New 52’s creation surface, Wally begins to piece together that something unnatural altered the timeline, erasing a decade from the lives of the heroes, and leaving him as the only one who remembers.
In "Chapter 2: Legacy," Wally West appears to an aging Johnny Thunder, urging him to locate the Justice Society—though Johnny can no longer summon his Thunderbolt. Meanwhile, Maggie Sawyer holds a strange suspect, Ryan Choi uncovers Ray Palmer’s sudden disappearance during a timeline anomaly, and Jaime Reyes seeks Ted Kord’s help with the Blue Beetle scarab, only for Dr. Fate to intervene with a cryptic warning about its true origins. As Pandora faces an unknown threat, the threads of history begin to unravel.
In "Chapter 3: Love," the fallen Superman of the New 52 universe casts a long shadow as heroes gather at the site of his death. Green Arrow and Black Canary, strangers in this timeline, feel an inexplicable pull toward one another, while Clark, Lois, and Jon from the pre-Flashpoint world navigate the tension of being seen—and recognized—by those who never knew them. Amid the grief, Aquaman makes a quiet proposal to Mera, and Wally, desperate to return to his own time, finds his anchor in Linda Park—only to be left behind when her memories of him fade.
In "Chapter 4: Life," Wally West flickers through moments of the past, unseen and forgotten by everyone he once knew—until he reaches Barry Allen, who, at the last second, remembers him. As Wally’s connection to the timeline begins to unravel, Barry’s sudden recognition pulls him back from the Speed Force, restoring him to the world. Meanwhile, Batman uncovers a mysterious object in the Batcave, a silent remnant of Wally’s brief, forgotten return.
In a quiet moment on Mars, a broken watch is carefully restored—its gears reassembled with quiet purpose—mirroring the delicate transition between realities. Two unseen figures reflect on the choices made, wondering if the path taken was truly the right one.
In this poignant chapter from the DC Rebirth Omnibus Expanded Edition, a Superman from the post-Crisis timeline encounters Lana Lang at his own tomb, where he shares the story of his death and resurrection. Together, they journey to the Fortress of Solitude, only to discover the missing pieces needed to restore him—leading to a quiet, heartfelt moment as he helps Lana lay his doppelgänger to rest between his parents’ graves.
In "Wonder Woman Rebirth," Diana grapples with fragmented memories that no longer align with who she believes herself to be. With the Lasso of Truth in hand, she uncovers a startling revelation: her past has been shaped by deception, and now she’s determined to uncover the truth behind the lies.
In "...Doomed to Repeat It...," Barry Allen is drawn into a haunting mystery when a crime scene echoes his mother’s murder, triggering cryptic visions of other speedsters. As the Speed Force seems to send him a warning, the original Wally West reappears from the timestream, reigniting Barry’s forgotten memories and forcing a reunion across time. With Wally gone and a deeper threat unraveling, Barry heads to Gotham to consult Batman—two heroes now united by a timeline under siege.
In the wake of the Green Lantern Corps' disappearance, the Sinestro Corps rules supreme from Warworld—now the cosmic center once held by Oa—leaving their leader, Sinestro, weakened by his own success. Meanwhile, Hal Jordan, twisted by the corrupting might of Krona’s gauntlet, forges a new power ring in a desperate bid to reclaim his humanity and set out on a mission to find the lost Green Lanterns.

In this standout tale from the DC Rebirth Omnibus Expanded Edition, Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven, and Kid Flash are each taken without warning—only to wake up in a mysterious location, united by an unexpected hand: Damian Wayne.
