Summary: the be-all and end-all of FLASH storytelling by DC's finest.
Review: After reading the (current) FLASH series as my first regularly bought title (since around issue 40) and finding the characters, stories and art the most interesting of all my comics buys, The Return of Barry Allen proved to be the most breathtaking, emotion-building story I have ever read. Period. I had wondered since Mark Waid took over the writing of Flash from Bill Messner-Loebs, could this man, a relatively unproven comics writer, ever be able to fill his predecessors shoes in turning a superhero book into a spectacular drama, a superheroic. soap opera extravaganza rivalled only by the Superman titles themselves (although I'd choose this book over the S-man any day). Well, guess I was wrong. Mark Waid turned Flash from what was, in my mind, one of the most inspirational DC characters into THE BEST LONG RUNNING COMIC BOOK OF ALL TIME. Sounds a bit over the top? Naah. Pick up a Mark Waid book NOW, and you'll be prepared to burn any literature you have read previously.

Summary: Great Run, But a Poor Finish
Review: His name is Wally West. He's the fastest man alive. He's the Flash. And he owes it all to his uncle Barry, the second Flash.Who knew the guy would come calling the dues? Easily the most popular story in Waid's run on the Flash, the Return of Barry Allen is a fan's dream, with meticulously researched info and an accessible story. Unfortunately, the biggest surprise isn't, and Barry's big secret is pretty easy to see coming. The final chapter also trips the line between drama and melodrama, though the opening to the final fight scene is astounding and poetic.

Review: If you ever wanted to know why the Reverse Flash hated Barry Allen and never read Flash(current series) #74-79 read this book! It also shows how Wally learns to let go of Barry's death, and how he gets his speed back. READ it! Mark Waid again writes another great Flash story.

Review: Imagine the man whose memory you wanted to honor by your actions returns from the dead...and he is disappointed in you. This is the dilemma facing Wally West when Barry Allen appears. Mark Waid invents a fascinating scenario here and by returning Golden age speedster, Max Mercury, as the guru of all the speedsters he sets up a number of stories establishing the Speed Force, from which all DC speedsters get their power. With a phenomenal twist and solid art by Greg Laroque, this one stands as one of the truly great Flash stories.

Summary: A must-have
Review: This wonderful graphic novel is a reprint, in book form, of the FLASH #74-79 (1993). In this story, Wally West gets the surprise of his life when his uncle, Barry Allen, the previous Flash suddenly walks through his door. Barry was transformed into pure energy saving the universe, but he recently reformed back into the flesh. It's almost too good to be true.
And now, Barry seems to be getting jealous of the Flash name. Something strange is going on. Can Flash save the day? Yes, but which Flash?
This is a great graphic novel, one that shows off the Flash to great effect. And, not only do we have Wally West (Flash III) and Barry Allen (Flash II), but the super-speedsters Jay Garrick (Flash I), Johnny Quick and Max Mercury! Obviously something goes wrong (no spoilers here!), and it's a super-speedster rumble. This book has it all, a well thought-out storyline and excellent graphics.
So, if you like the Flash, or just like a good superhero story, then you must get this book - you won't regret it!

Summary: Mark Waid's Best
Review: When this comic story came out in 1992, no one knew what was about to happen. Superman had just died, and Batman was about to be badly beaten, and we figured that the hype and the darkness were here for good. But along comes Waid, young and still not that highly regarded but talented, and shocks everyone with this. We didn't expect anyone would ever deal with Barry Allen again, and we didn't think anyone could make comics so much fun again. This is a Flash-lover's dream and a wild ride young and old can appreciate. The art was the best Greg LaRocque ever offered, a fitting end to his years of work on this title. And Wally West, the third hero to be called The Flash, finally became a man. Seven yars ago, I said that Waid would never top this. And with perhaps the exception of "Kingdom Come," he hasn't. It's that good.
