Earth 2: Society #5

Earth 2's Flash looks far less heroic than usual in this December 2015 issue, slumped at a bar surrounded by empty bottles while a glamorous blonde woman snaps a selfie beside him and a masked figure looms in the background. The story title "Flashing Fame" sets the tone for what appears to be a very public, very uncomfortable moment for the speedster of the alternate Earth. Jorge Jiménez's cover art — colored by Alejandro Sánchez — captures a vivid, neon-lit scene that feels more like a tabloid scandal than a superhero adventure, making this one of the more intriguing chapters of Daniel H. Wilson's run on the series.
