“Mother, May I”

In "Mother, May I," Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver deliver a powerful chapter of The Flash: Rebirth, where Professor Zoom confronts Barry Allen with the full weight of his past, including the traumatic loss of Nora Allen. When Jai’s powers spiral out of control, Irey steps in—and in a moment that reshapes her future, absorbs her brother’s speed, choosing to carry the mantle of Impulse. The story’s emotional core is rendered with striking precision, with Van Sciver’s dynamic art and layered coloring by Brian Miller and Dustin Yee bringing every charged moment to life, all under Rob Leigh’s sharp lettering.
