The Flash #1
This volume collects the first eight issues of DC's 2012 relaunch of The Flash, written by Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul, who also provides the artwork. The story follows Barry Allen as he adjusts to his enhanced speed abilities and a new threat tied to the Speed Force, setting the stage for a fresh direction for the Scarlet Speedster.
In "Think Fast," Barry Allen confronts the mysterious origins of the Speed Force, while a shocking act of violence in Gorilla City redefines the power structure there. As Barry grapples with his legacy, personal revelations emerge at a memorial, including a surprising new relationship between David Singh and Hartley Rathaway. With bold visuals by Francis Manapul and dynamic coloring by Brian Buccellato and Ian Herring, this first issue of The Flash (2012) launches a new era with emotional depth and kinetic energy, all anchored in a cover by Manapul that captures the series' electric tone.
