Secret Origins #7

The Flash bursts forward in full stride on Bryan Hitch's energetic cover for this 2015 New 52 installment of Secret Origins, crackling lightning trailing behind him as shattered debris flies in his wake — with ghostly, blue-tinted figures and a second face rendered in the background hinting at the layered history packed inside. Promising "the stories behind the world's greatest heroes and villains," issue #7 spotlights the Scarlet Speedster alongside additional features, with interior work from writers Robert Venditti and Van Jensen and art by Miguel Sepulveda. It's a fine jumping-on point for anyone curious about the New 52 foundations of one of DC's most beloved heroes.
