The Flash: Rebirth by Geoff Johns
4.0
The Flash is the coolest superhero in the world right now (well, maybe Cap has him beat), and this seems like essential reading for just about everybody who is currently who is enjoying his story, in any of its forms.
Geoff Johns loves The Flash. That much is clear, and at no point moreso than the current Rebirth movement at DC Comics, a movement that Johns has championed for over a decade. In this particular Rebirth, Johns recaps the entire history of the character even as he introduces the classic Flash in Barry Allen. Every speedster makes an appearance in some form or another, and Ethan Van Sciver brings them all to life uniquely and in incredible detail.
The story works to really make what follows works, as the essence of Barry Allen and his principal role as the moral conscience of the entire DC Universe really comes clear here as Johns shakes the 25 years of dust off of one of comics' best characters and tells an outstanding and memorable story that is as much about the character's history as it is about the character's return.
