The Flash by Grant Morrison, Mark Millar

5.0

This made me really miss what DC was doing in the late 90s up through the New 52 in 2011. The idea of "legacy" heroes of subsequent generations taking on the mantles of Flash, Green Lantern, and others was an idea that really helped them stand apart from Marvel and also deliver a sense of history by drawing on continuity without being needlessly complicated.

Grant Morrison is one of my favorite comics writers, and seeing him (and Mark Millar) give some creative problems and storytelling to the Flash is much fun. Especially since this collection pulls together a year or so of the comic, and each story only lasts for 3 issues. Today, most storylines are 5-8 issues, which sometimes feels like a drag.
