About this Collection

This 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.
