Flash #131

Part two of "Emergency Stop" arrives with a striking image that says more than words can: the Scarlet Speedster sits in a wheelchair, one leg heavily bandaged and elevated — a jarring sight for a hero defined entirely by motion. Steve Lightle's cover work is quietly arresting, using stark contrast and a tight, dramatic angle to drive home just how vulnerable the fastest man alive can be. With Grant Morrison and Mark Millar at the helm alongside artist Paul Ryan, this 1997 chapter promises a story as compelling as its unsettling setup.
