Absolute Flash Vol 1: Of Two
Worlds by Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles (Illustrator) is a read in the Absolute
Universe where The Flash is reimagined. In this universe, the legacy of
The Flash is gone, there is no speed force, and Wally is on his own. After an
accident at a government facility military brat Wally West became a speedster.
Feeling overwhelmed by these new powers and dealing with the loss of his mother
he went on the run. The government is going to track him down and bring him
back. They want his powers at any cost. His father thinks he can control the
situation and protect his son. Of course,
the government does not care about the boy. They just want his powers at any
cost. They will bring him in either alive or dead.
The art is excellent. It’s also
nice to read a Jeff Lemire title in the DC universe again. I like his writing,
but he is mostly doing indie horror comics now, and I am just not a horror guy.
I really like this new version of Grodd that is introduced in this volume. The
Rogues are now government operatives instead of just bank robbers. They are now
“the good guys” instead of the bad guys. This series will continue with Absolute Flash Vol 2: Still Point.
