The Flash #15
In "Reverse-Flash Family," Barry Allen’s body is hijacked by Thawne, who embraces the role of the Flash with a ruthless twist, teaming up with Impulse to confront a rogues' gallery of old foes. While trapped in a fractured version of the Speed Force, Barry reconnects with Jesse Quick and Max Mercury—ghosts from a erased timeline—amid the chaos of a mind warping under Thawne’s control. As Thawne plays the part of Barry with Iris, Wallace, and Avery, Impulse’s shocking reveal threatens to unravel the deception—just as a surprising new presence steps in to change everything. Written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval with inks by Scott Kolins and Jordi Tarragona, this issue features bold storytelling and dynamic art, with colors by Arif Prianto and Hi-Fi, and letters by Steve Wands, all under Howard Porter’s striking cover.
