Summary: Best Flash Story Written in Years.
Review: Comedy, Drama, Action/Adventure, Romance, what defines a Hero. These are put into this series of stories about Wally West (aka The Flash). It also includes a look back at how Wally got his powers, and how the love of Linda Park keeps him going (quite litterally). Good for both fans of the Flash, and for fans of Mark Waid's work.

Summary: A solid-slam-bang super hero fantasy
Review: If superheroes are your bag, and you like them portrayed both with their classic "nobility" and a sense of the ninties, they don't get much better than this Flash story-arc. Rather than decontructing old heroes, Mark Waid seems singularly adept at modernizing them while still leaving that sense of wonder that we all (at least at one time)loved about comics. Don't expect to gain any great insights into life, and don't expect to see any revolution in comic book storytelling. This is what it is - a superhero comic at its finiest.

Summary: Slam-bang action at top speed
Review: Mark Waid's Flash is comics the way they were always meant to be; fun, thrilling, and just a touch of romance. One of the mostsatisfying endings I've ever read.

Summary: Stupendous!
Review: This stupendous graphic novel is a reprint, in a book form, of the FLASH #96-100 (1994-95). In the story Crisis in Time, Wally West, the Flash, was given a glimpse of a horrific future. And then, wandering back in time, he gets to see the events that made him the man he is. But, haunted by his knowledge of future events, Wally must train up Bart Allen (the Impulse, and Barry Allen's grandson), so that he can help him to change the future. But, even with the help of Jay Garrick (Flash I), Johnny Quick, Max Mercury and Jessie Quick, can Wally and Bart change the future, and save everything that Wally holds dear? Read this book to find out!This is a great graphic novel - it is stupendous - I would go as far as to say that it is the best graphic novel that I have ever read, and I have read more than a few! The illustrations are very good, but short of what I have come to expect from recent graphic novels. BUT, what makes this book great is the story. Mark Waid succeeds in spinning a story that is very touching, and yet stuffed full of action and adventure. Plus, besides learning more of what makes Wally West tick, this book actually lets you in on the secret of what gives the speedsters their powers! So, if you like the Flash, or just like a good superhero story, then you must get this book!
