The Flash #1: A Special Message from writer Si Spurrier!

The Flash #1: A Special Message from writer Si Spurrier!

The Dawn of DC era of The Flash begins on September 26, with an all-new #1 from celebrated writer Si Spurrier and legendary artist Mike Deodato Jr!

 

"This is a monumental new start. DC’s invited us to oversee a wild shift in tone for this book," Spurrier says of this run on The Flash. "It’s a real gambit for such an iconic brand, but I think you’ll see it works really well."

 

"We’re taking everything that sings about these characters—Silver Age vibes, cutting-edge ideas, humanity at its best, and high-octane action—then we’re folding it all, slowly and steadily, towards cosmic horror. This isn’t just a book about a guy who runs fast, it’s a book about a world that has forgotten how to stop."

 

"At first, Wally West is very much our central character. Fans love him, he’s the sidekick who made it. But all your favorites are woven into my tapestry. Barry Allen, Impulse, Max Mercury, Ace, Liberty Belle. They all have really major roles to play. And all of your favorite Rogues, too: Gorilla Grodd, Mirror Master, the Folded Man, and many, many more. Deep, deep cuts, but always skewed though a broken prism."
