Synopsis

BACKTRACK!
 
Now that the Crime Syndicate's reign of terror is finally at an end, the Fastest Man Alive is more determined than ever to catch the countless criminals they released from Iron Heights—and stop the killer who's using weapons stolen from the Flash's rogues gallery to commit his crimes. In between, he's even trying to guide a troubled kid named Wally West back to the right path. But with each daring rescue and bullet-dodging battle, it feels like the time is slipping through his fingers....
 
...and years from now, his time has run out. A darker, more driven Flash is working backwards through time to fix his forerunner's mistakes and save the lives he was too late to save—by any means necessary. His friends and enemies alike barely recognize him. That's because he's harboring a terrible secret about the Speed Force that fuels him. A secret that's set him on a collision course...with himself...

About this title

About the Author:

New York Times best-selling author Robert Venditti broke into comics the old fashioned way- by starting out in the mailroom. He began working for publisher Top Shelf Productions in 2002, and within a few months sold them the script for The Surrogates, his first comic book series. The story was later adapted into a feature film starring Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames. Venditti went on to write the original graphic novel The Homeland Directive, as well as the graphic novel adaptations of Rick Riordan’s bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians novels. In 2012, he helped relaunch Valiant Entertainment’s comic book universe by writing their flagship title, X-O Manowar. Venditti currently writes GREEN LANTERN and THE FLASH for DC Comics. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Van Jensen is a former newspaper crime reporter and magazine editor who broke into comics as the writer of Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer, which was named one of YALSA’s Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens. He also has written The Leg: The Remarkable Reappearance of Santa Anna’s Disembodied Limb, and GREEN LANTERN CORPS and THE FLASH for DC Comics. A native of western Nebraska, Jensen now lives in Atlanta.

Review:

“An intriguing sci-fi mystery.”—IGN
 
“Van Jensen and Brett Booth turn expectations on their head and instead of launching into a new chapter of Barry Allen’s story with sound and fury, they reaffirm Barry’s humanity and in the process set up a very exciting era for the Scarlet Speedster.”—NEWSARAMA

 “The electric blue Flash with its crackling energy just blazes across the page.”—COMIC BOOK RESOURCES
