The Flash Vol. 1: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues: Brightest Day Paperback – 17 Jan. 2012

Back in Central City, Barry Allen discovers he is wanted for murder in the twenty fifth century. Wanted for a crime he not only hasn't committed, but can't ever see himself committing. Can he convince the future court of his innocence?A slick plot complemented by smooth artwork and some fresh designs, this is a great lead in to 'Flashpoint'.

A great reintroduction to the Barry Allen flash . Always been a west fan , but this grabbed my attention. On your marks go !

Interesting story the art is a little different for me but I enjoyed it. Shame DC had to retcon it.

If you're a fan of the flash this is a great read! 😄 interesting story line, would highly recommend 👍

This comic is brilliant and it is much cheaper on the kindle than my local comic book store. Amazing read

Lovely art design

Headache-inducing time travel stories: you either love them or you stop reading THE FLASH, which is as much a hard science fiction series as it is a superhero comic. Pit the Flash against his enemies, the Rogues, and you have an action-adventure metaphor for the world's most entertaining course in applied physics. It's all about matter, motion, and energy set to solving problems of heat, cold, sonics, optics, and ballistics, as well as those aforementioned exercises in time travel (fun with relativity, anyone?). Enough material there for a lifetime of comic book adventure.This story arc introduces the Renegades, 25th century cops with variations on the Rogues' costumes and weapons, who have orders to bring in the Flash for the murder of one of their fellow officers. Complicating matters are the Rogues themselves, territorial as ever and now armed with a mysterious, ultimate anti-Flash weapon, and the resurrection of Captain Boomerang, returned from the dead as a more powerful, genuinely badass supervillain.Boomerang's extreme makeover is the highlight of this storyline, a solidly entertaining but not a standout Flash adventure. Artists Francis Manapul and Scott Kolins have gone for a clean, efficient look, like painted versions of Carmine Infantino's "space age" FLASH pages from the 1960s, but for me, the artwork really shines in the noirish seventh chapter (Boomerang's long-delayed entry in writer Geoff Johns' "Rogue Profile" series), which looks, perversely, more colorful and contemporary than the previous six. Go figure.

Perfect condition and an excellent book, definitely need vol.2 now!

One of the reasons why this series was so good was it showed us what a Flash series should be. The New 52 Flash was good, but some of the things that was done with the villains was just stupid.Geoff Johns always did the characters right, while making them interesting. The way he handled Barry Allen's return was just as perfect as Hal Jordan's.A great series that shows us who Barry Allen is and why he is such a good hero.

Childish book, not a good story by any standard

La edición es regular, nada sorprendente pero cumple lo que promete. La historia es muy entretenida, el misterio a resolver en los primeros números promete y su conclusión es satisfactoria, definitivamente Johns aún tenía que aportar a la mitología del personaje. Recomendado comprar este Volumen antes de Flashppoint (no por necesario, sino por lo entretenido).

This was the only book out of the three that I paid for that actually arrived.

Great story. Beautiful art. what else could you ask for!
