The Flash #29

The cover by Mikel Janín crackles with green lightning as the Flash races desperately forward while a massive, skeletal humanoid creature looms overhead, wielding what appears to be a blunt weapon and dragging a woman — presumably his mother — by her hair. That tagline, "A Race with Death to Save His Mother's Life," says it all: Brian Buccellato and Agustín Padilla's "Digging Up the Past, Part 3" puts the Scarlet Speedster in a deeply personal fight where raw speed alone may not be enough. New 52 Flash fans will find this May 2014 issue a gripping chapter in one of the run's more emotionally charged arcs.
