The Flash #18

The cover of this New 52 entry poses a compelling question right on its face: "Everyone's after Trickster — but why?!" Francis Manapul's cover art captures a chaotic urban scene with the Flash and a lightning-charged young hero charging forward, while the grinning, flamboyantly dressed Trickster leaps prominently in the foreground — and a mysterious figure with a glowing weapon looms in the background amid smoke and police lights. Brian Buccellato and Marcio Takara bring "The Heroes' Journey" to life inside, making this May 2013 issue a lively, energetic chapter in the Scarlet Speedster's New 52 run.
