The Flash by Geoff Johns #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume kicks off Geoff Johns' celebrated run on The Flash, collecting issues #164-176, #162, and #159-160 of the 1987 series. It follows Wally West as he steps fully into the mantle of the Scarlet Speedster, facing threats like the return of the original Trickster and the mysterious new villain, the Black Flash. Johns' tenure is known for deepening Wally's character and expanding the Flash's rogues gallery with a mix of classic and fresh foes.
In "Lightning in a Bottle," Barry Allen’s quiet evening with Linda’s parents takes a sudden turn when chaos erupts at a local hockey game, forcing the Flash into action. With an unexpected ally in Captain Cold and a chilling mystery unfolding at the Rathaway estate—where the butler confronts a figure eerily resembling the Pied Piper—Barry finds himself tangled in a case that blurs the line between memory and menace. Geoff Johns’ storytelling, brought to life by Scott Kolins’ dynamic art and Brian Bolland’s striking cover, sets a tense, atmospheric tone for the series’ new chapter.
