Flashpoint by Geoff Johns
5.0
An absolute masterclass.
What if you could go back in time to change one event that derailed your life? The Flash is my favourite superhero, and The Flashpoint Paradox epitomises why I idolize the scarlet speedster. Beyond the superhuman feats and funny quips, Barry is as vulnerable as any person who has grown up with an irreversible tragedy. One moment of weakness, one selfish act for love sends the whole world into chaos, until Barry corrects his mistake and saves the world like a true hero. The last page with Bruce tearing up reading Thomas Wayne's letter is also one of the greatest Batman moments of all time.
