☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCollecting issues #192-200 of the 2004 Flash series, this volume features writer Geoff Johns and artist Scott Kolins' story arc 'Blitz,' which introduces the villain Zoom and explores the aftermath of the Flash's battle with the Rogues. The collection focuses on Wally West as the Flash, dealing with personal and super-powered threats that push him to his limits.
In "Character Bios," Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins deliver a poignant, high-stakes journey as the Flash confronts the mysterious Zoom, who forces him to relive pivotal moments from his past—each vision a gut punch that tests his resolve. With help from the other speedsters and a chilling theory from Jay Garrick, Wally finds a way to turn Zoom’s temporal manipulation against him, trapping the villain in a moment of his own making. The issue ends with a quiet, haunting moment as Wally is visited by two old friends, leaving his past—and his identity—forever changed.
In "Dead or Alive," Wally West returns to the newly established Gorilla City, seeking justice against Gorilla Grodd—but finds his path blocked by Nnamdi, the city’s unexpected new ruler. With tensions flaring and old wounds reopened, Wally must navigate a shifting political landscape before returning to Keystone City, where Linda Park West, Fred Chyre, and others await his return.
In "Off Balance," Wally West faces a new challenge as he recaptures the Top, the first of the Flash's rogues to escape, using the moment to send a clear message to the rest. Meanwhile, at the hospital where he's recovering, Hunter Zolomon keeps a watchful eye on Peek-A-Boo, his gaze sharp with something more than just observation.
In a gripping tale from The Flash #4 (2004), Wally West faces a crisis of identity when Hunter Zolomon infiltrates the Flash Museum and hijacks the Cosmic Treadmill, threatening to rewrite history. Meanwhile, Peek-A-Boo makes another desperate attempt to alter the past, driven by a personal loss that echoes through time. With Barry Allen and Professor Zoom making brief appearances, the story explores the weight of choices—and the cost of trying to undo them.
In the aftermath of the Cosmic Treadmill’s explosion, Hunter Zolomon lies recovering—until he realizes his legs are moving again, stronger than ever. As he grapples with the sudden return of his mobility, memories of his past and the life he’s lost begin to surface. With the help of his sister Ashley and a mysterious figure from his history, Zolomon must confront the truth behind his transformation, even as the line between victim and villain blurs.
In "Blitz, Part 3: Into the Fast Lane," Wally West faces a chilling test as Zoom, wielding powers that pierce time itself, forces him to confront loss through terrifying visions—using Linda Park West as the target. With Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Bart Allen at his side, Wally must navigate a race against memory and fear, where every step forward risks unraveling what he’s trying to protect.
