In 1990 Mark WaidÕs writing career began when he scripted his first issue of The Flash. Waid continued to work on Wally West for nearly a decade, building a world that would keep the character running for years after WaidÕs departure to other titles. Under WaidÕs keen pen, Wally West gained a new depth of character that changed The Flash for good. In this next graphic novel, Wally West gets a glimpse of the future after traveling through the time stream and doesnÕt like what he sees. Fearing for the one he loves and unable to approach maximum velocity without transforming into pure energy, Wally seeks a successor to the Flash mantle. Wally, Max Mercury, Johnny Quick and Jesse Quick take it upon themselves to train Impulse. But will the help of his friends be enough to prevent his horrible vision of the future from coming to fruition? Or will Wally have to make the ultimate sacrifice to change his destiny? This fourth volume of The Flash by Mark Waid collects The Flash #0, The Flash #95-105 and The Flash Annual #8.

In 2000, Geoff Johns redefined THE FLASH for a new generation. Now you can re-experience his unforgettable five-year run in these stunning tales of Wally West, The Fastest Man Alive! When the Flash breaks through space and time to reach a parallel Earth, it mirrors our own-except for one big difference: there is no Speed Force. Disconnected from the energy source that powers all super-speedsters, this is a world where The Flash never existed, and has become deadly for anyone who wears a mask. Powerless and hunted by the law, the only way Wally West can survive and escape is to accept help from those he trusts the least-his own Rogues Gallery! This first volume in THE FLASH BY GEOFF JOHNS series collects THE FLASH #164-176 and THE FLASH: IRON HEIGHTS featuring art by Angel Unzueta, Scott Kolins and Ethan Van Sciver.
