The Flash #40

From the New 52 era of DC Comics, The Flash #40 promises high-stakes speed-force chaos beneath its striking subtitle — "Selkirk's Altar of Death." Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund's cover crackles with golden lightning as two scarlet-suited speedsters clash in a collision of raw energy, while a goggled, masked figure looms behind them alongside panicked bystanders caught in the mayhem. Written by Robert Venditti and Van Jensen with colors by Andrew Dalhouse, this May 2015 issue looks like essential reading for fans who enjoy their Flash stories fast, furious, and genuinely dangerous.
