“Dead Heat, Second Lap: Disaffected Youth”

In "Dead Heat, Second Lap: Disaffected Youth," Impulse #10 delivers a tense, character-driven moment as Bart grapples with life without his super-speed, while Jay, Linda, Jenni, and Iris rally at Max’s hospital bedside. When Savitar’s ninjas strike to finish Max off, a surge of the Speed Force—sparked by Savitar’s momentary loss of control—unlocks a shocking transfer of power to Johnny, who must hold the line. Mark Waid’s writing, vividly illustrated by Humberto Ramos with inks by Wayne Faucher and colors by Tom McCraw, builds urgency in a story where speed isn’t just a power—it’s a lifeline. The cover by Ramos and Faucher captures the chaos just before the final clash.

As Bart struggles through a school day without super-speed, Jay, Linda, Jenni, and Iris visit Max in the hospital. After Johnny arrives, Savitar's ninjas attack to try to finish off Max. Max is able to tap into the speed force and transfer his power to Johnny so that he can hold off the ninjas. But a sudden power surge in all the speedsters (when Savitar momentarily loses his grip on the speed force) allows Impulse to arrive in time to save Max.
