The Flash, Vol. 5: History Lessons by Brian Buccellato

5.0

"It was great! The first third of the book consists of three one-offs. The first story give us the history of how the Flash and Green Lantern met and became friends. The second is all about how actions have consequences and as long as we keep trying to do what is right, it will all balance out for the best, even if we're not able to do everything, or in the Flash's case, save everyone. The meat of the book comes in a story about a serial killer ghost that Barry suspects of murdering his mother. There's great interpersonal drama between Barry and his foster father, who also happens to be the chief of police and Barry's boss. Who better to team up with the Flash to stop a serial killer ghost than Deadman, a ghost superhero. It was a fun book with some great unanswered questions about the murder of Nora Allen, Barry's mom." -Landon
