“Mean Streak”

Part of Mark Waid, Mike Wieringo, and José Marzán Jr.'s acclaimed run, this March 1994 installment kicks off the "Maximum Overdrive" arc with a cover by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer that crackles with urgency — a battered, grimacing Flash charges straight at the reader, enormous watchful eyes looming above him against a burst of fiery yellow and orange, while chaos erupts in the background with fleeing civilians, a speeding bus, and what appears to be a shadowy speedster engulfed in flame. The "Mean Streak" story promises the Scarlet Speedster pushed to his limits, and Davis's dynamic composition makes that tension immediately felt.
