Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #8

The neon-soaked Las Vegas Strip makes for a charged backdrop as the Scarlet Speedster barrels forward trailing arcs of golden lightning, locked in intense confrontation with a green-gloved, goggled blonde opponent crackling with energy of her own. Daniel Acuña's cover for this March 2007 issue captures the kinetic tension between the two figures beautifully, all blurred motion and electric color against the glittering cityscape. With the tagline "What Happens in Vegas…" dangling enticingly, this "Speedquest" chapter from writers Bilson and DeMeo promises a high-stakes showdown that the city of sin seems perfectly built to host.
