Impulse #11
In "Dead Heat, Fifth Lap: Breaking the Barrier," the pulse of the Speed Force reaches a breaking point as Max, Jesse, and Johnny chase Savitar through a collapsing timeline, while Jay and Wally face off against his deadly ninjas. With Johnny’s sacrifice echoing through the Speed Force, the remaining heroes brace for Savitar’s next move—one that will strike directly at Wally in a way that tests the very limits of legacy and speed. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Humberto Ramos, with inks by Wayne Faucher, colors by Tom McCraw, and letters by Chris Eliopoulos, the cover by Ramos and Faucher captures the moment’s high stakes in vivid motion.
