Flash #3

A massive, menacing gorilla looms behind the Flash as he races past a "Welcome to Central City" sign, with a hooded figure and other threats crowding the background — suggesting the Scarlet Speedster has plenty of trouble converging on his home turf. This 2015 Urban Comics French-language collection, subtitled Guerre au Gorille, brings Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato's vision of the Flash to francophone readers in fine style. If you've been looking for a jumping-on point that promises both high-speed action and formidable villains, this volume makes a compelling case.
