About this Collection

This collection brings together issues #1-6 of the 2004 Flash series, written by Geoff Johns with art by Ethan Van Sciver and others. The story follows Wally West as he faces a new threat in Keystone City, with the Rogues forming an uneasy alliance against a common enemy. The volume also introduces the character of Captain Boomerang II and explores the aftermath of the 'Rogue War' storyline.

In "Crossfire Prologue: Tricked!", Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins kick off a high-stakes showdown as the Rogues battle the Thinker for control of the Flash’s powers—only for Keith Kenyon to seize the moment and take the Flash himself. Meanwhile, at the Flash Museum, Captain Cold, Chyre, and Morillo free Cyborg and others from the mirror dimension, setting the stage for a confrontation that pushes the Flash to his limits. With Cyborg’s aid, Flash attempts to bring the Thinker into his mind, but the real danger lies in what’s waiting inside. The cover, a striking collaboration by Brian Bolland and Scott Kolins, captures the tension perfectly.
