Barry Allen has been "The Flash" for many years, with powers of speed manipulation. Little did he know that old forces both friends and enemies have an agenda. Going steady with his girlfriend (who works for the crime lab / dept) they have found an understanding. Same goes for a hot trot reporter who has her eyes on Barry's adventures. While off-land, all of his enemies have been put behind. But Captain Cold has others ideas..
I have to admit I haven't read a Flash series in awhile. Justice League (the ani series) as I recall laid some ground work with delivering classic tales. (and voiced by Mike Rosenbaum, who also played Lex in Smallville) in films (Nathan Fillion and many others). I used to collect DC cards from the early 90's, and they had some gritty artwork. It is truly humbling to find it restarting again, but exactly where it left off.
This whole 52 thing is bizarre, with Flash's adventures he is able to ride time rifts, so its possible that he had a hand in manipulating his universe with other powers. But in this collection, it branches out with his "Time Force" powers, an ability to navigated through time and space, while unknowingly correcting the time stream. (How so? That is revealed with Turbulence, a character related to history with the classic JLA) *Good or evil, read the book to find out!
Overall, I love this series new start, the art is sexy, gritty, and rough. Same goes for the writing, never thought I'd say that about a Flash comic series. Which is a good sign.
