☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume kicks off the 2008 Flash series, collecting issues #1-7 of the ongoing title. Written by Geoff Johns with art by Francis Manapul, the story follows Barry Allen as he returns from the dead to reclaim his role as the Fastest Man Alive, facing a new threat in the form of the villainous Blood Will Run arc.
In "Blood Will Run, Part 1: Breaking the Foundation," Barry Allen’s quiet evening with Linda’s parents takes a dark turn when a violent attack erupts at a local hockey game, forcing the Flash into action. With unexpected assistance from Captain Cold and a chilling confrontation involving the Rathaway family’s butler and a figure eerily resembling the Pied Piper, the stakes rise in a story written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Scott Kolins, with inks by Doug Hazlewood and colors by James Sinclair and Digital Chameleon. The cover, a striking piece by Brian Bolland, captures the tension of a night gone wrong.
In the climactic showdown of "Blood Will Run, Part 4: Uneasy Idol," Flash [Wally West] faces off against Cicada [David Hersch] in a battle that tests both speed and resolve. Amid the aftermath, Jared Morillo grapples with newfound healing abilities, while Fred Chyre’s suspicions about Flash’s paternity of baby Josh stir tension among the group.
When a quiet evening at Linda Park’s parents’ new home takes a sudden turn, Flash [Wally West] finds himself caught in a storm of chaos at a local hockey game—just as a new threat emerges. With unexpected aid from Captain Cold [Leonard Snart], and a chilling encounter involving the Rathaway’s butler and a figure that shouldn’t be there, the night spirals into something far more dangerous than a simple disturbance.
When the Weather Wizard strikes Central City just after Julie Jackam’s funeral, he claims her son as his own—unleashing chaos that pulls Flash, Linda Park, and the city into a storm of suspicion and buried secrets. As the police race to piece together a damning video linking the Pied Piper to his parents’ deaths, old wounds reopen and loyalties are tested in the eye of the storm.
In "Birth Right, Part 2: The Rain Maker," Wally West races against time to protect Joshua Jackam, a young boy whose latent weather-manipulating powers make him a target for the desperate Weather Wizard. With Linda Park by his side and the Mirror Master watching from the shadows, Wally must confront the past—both his own and Mark Mardon’s—as the storm of betrayal and legacy begins to break.
