About this Collection

This collection brings together issues of The Flash from the late 1990s, featuring the story arc 'Mercury Falling.' The narrative follows Wally West as the Fastest Man Alive, with significant involvement from Impulse (Bart Allen), as they face threats tied to the legacy of the Speed Force. The volume collects The Flash #130-138 and Impulse #26-27, written by Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn, with art by various creators including Paul Ryan and Salvador Larroca.

In "Mercury Falling: A Question of Faith," Bart Allen grapples with the weight of his connection to the Speed Force as he confronts a new threat: the Fog Prince, whose vendetta threatens to derail his mission. With Ethan Van Sciver's dynamic art and John Stokes' sharp inks bringing the action to life, this 2009 Flash issue delivers a pulse-pounding chapter in Bart's journey. The cover by Van Sciver and Wayne Faucher captures the intensity of the moment, perfectly framing the stakes.
