Struck by a bolt of lightning and doused in chemicals, Central City Police scientist Barry Allen was transformed into the fastest man alive. Tapping into the energy field called The Speed Force, he applies a tenacious sense of justice to protect and serve the world as The Flash! The Fastest Man Alive returns to his own monthly series as part of the DC Comics - The New 52 event with the writer/artist team of Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato. The Flash knows he can't be everywhere at once, but he has seemingly met his match when he faces DC Comic' hottest new Super Villain, Mob Rule, who really can be everywhere at once! As Mob Rule wages a campaign of crime across Central City, including an electromagnetic blast that plunges the city into darkness, The Flash learns that the only way he can capture him (them) and save Central City is to learn how to make his brain function even faster than before - but as much as it helps him, it also comes with a steep price! This volume collects issues #1-8 of the The Flash monthly series.

For the first time ever, experience Francis Manapul's acclaimed run on THE FLASH through beautifully reprinted original line drawings that showcase the artist's masterful skill and creative vision without any inks or colors laid over them. THE FLASH BY FRANCIS MANAPUL UNWRAPPED collects the artist's entire body of work on the revered reintroduction of the Fastest Man Alive that he spearheaded with best-selling writer Brian Buccellato (BATMAN: DETECTIVE COMICS). Not only will this collection inspire with its gorgeously reproduced pencil work, but it also acts as the perfect entry point into the world of the Scarlet Speedster. Collects THE FLASH #1-25.
