Impulse #5

Impulse #5 serves up a perfectly on-brand thrill ride, with Bart Allen grinning and arms outstretched in the back of a speeding convertible — license-plated "D-MAN" — while two terrified passengers brace themselves as the car launches off a cliff edge with a cheerful "Cool." from our hero. Writer Mark Waid and cover artists Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher nail the series' irreverent energy in a single image, capturing exactly why "Life in the Fast Lane" is more than just a tagline for this young speedster. If you've been enjoying Impulse's mix of humor and high-speed chaos, issue five looks like a genuinely fun chapter in that ongoing adventure.
