The Flash Rebirth Deluxe Edition #1

In a haunting echo of his past, Barry Allen returns to the scene of his mother’s murder, only to be gripped by visions of speedsters long gone—Godspeed, Professor Zoom, and even a future version of himself. As memories of the original Kid Flash surge back, Barry is forced to confront a timeline unraveling under a hidden force, leading him to Gotham to seek answers from Batman.

Barry Allen races against time, torn between answering every call for help as the Flash and doing his duty as a crime scene investigator—only to face the crushing weight of knowing he can’t be everywhere at once. When a fire breaks out, he rushes to save lives, but the cost may be a deadly standoff at S.T.A.R. Labs, where his friend Detective August Heart faces a rogue group known as the Black Hole.

In the wake of a freak lightning storm, Detective August Heart gains Speed Force powers and joins Barry Allen in protecting Central City. As Iris West digs into the Black Hole’s motives, she’s captured, forcing Barry to fall — but August, now stepping into the role of a hero, suits up to save her. When another storm rolls in, a wave of lightning strikes countless citizens, unleashing a new wave of speedsters across the city.

In "Speed City," the Flash and Detective August Heart face a city overwhelmed by lightning-induced speedsters—some heroic, others dangerously unstable. With new speedsters arriving daily and a mysterious killer known only as Godspeed striking at Iron Heights, Barry Allen steps in to help Dr. Meena Dhawan train the next generation of speedsters, even as the past resurfaces in the form of the Black Hole’s legacy.

In "Teamwork," Barry Allen takes on a new role as mentor to a group of Central City citizens suddenly infused with Speed Force energy—each grappling with their powers in ways Barry never has. As Dr. Joseph Carver’s experiment spirals out of control, turning him into the monstrous Black Hole, Flash must rally the speedsters-in-training, including Avery Ho and Scott, while Wally West seeks help from S.T.A.R. Labs to unlock the Speed Force’s full potential. With Iris watching from the sidelines and Meena Dhawan stepping closer to the truth, Barry’s secret identity hangs in the balance as the team faces a threat unlike any they’ve encountered.

In "Barry Allen's Day Off," the Flash takes a rare moment of quiet with Dr. Meena Dhawan, sharing a meal and a conversation that hints at something deeper—until the peace is shattered by the return of a familiar threat. As Meena and Detective August Heart work to train the next generation of speedsters, Wally West arrives seeking guidance, and the fragile calm at S.T.A.R. Labs is tested when Godspeed reemerges, turning the lab into a battleground for the future of the speedster legacy.

In the wake of a wave of speedster murders, Barry Allen is driven to uncover the truth behind Godspeed’s rampage, haunted by the disappearance of Dr. Meena Dhawan. As fear spreads among the remaining speedsters, Wally West grapples with a devastating loss and a shocking revelation about his own abilities, while Iris West uncovers a crucial clue that leads Barry to the shocking identity of the killer—August Heart.

In "No More Speedsters," The Flash and Godspeed clash not just in power, but in principle—Barry Allen confronts August Heart’s belief that speed should be used to kill, a philosophy tested when August executes four Black Hole Agents during a hostage crisis. With Wally West stepping forward to reveal his own speed and a desperate plan to siphon the powers of other speedsters, Barry must find a way to unite their speed to stop Godspeed before the city becomes a battleground of velocity and vengeance.

In a pulse-pounding crossover of speed and legacy, Barry Allen and the new Kid Flash race to save lives as a bridge collapses—only for the original Wally West to appear and change everything. When the two Wallys touch, Barry is overwhelmed by visions from the Speed Force, briefly slipping into the malevolent presence of Professor Zoom, who twists the truth and reveals a shocking secret about the second Wally’s parentage. The revelation shakes the young hero to his core, but as the dust settles, the original Wally offers quiet reassurance—leaving the future of their bond uncertain.

In "The Speed of Darkness Part One," Barry Allen and Iris West face a mysterious new threat in Papercut, a villain who manipulates paper and wood with eerie precision. When Kid Flash arrives to intervene, his recklessness forces Barry to step in as the Flash to protect civilians—leading to a tense confrontation about Wally’s choices and the dangers of skipping school to fight crime. As Wally seeks to prove himself, he tracks down a shadowy figure known as the Walking Shadow, only to discover the chilling truth: it’s an old enemy reborn—The Shade.

In "The Speed of Darkness Part Two," The Flash and Iris venture into the Shadowlands to rescue Kid Flash, only to discover that The Shade has lost control of his shadow creatures—now intent on tearing open a gateway to flood the real world with darkness. With time running out and the boundaries between realms unraveling, Barry and Iris must navigate a realm where every shadow holds a threat and every step could be their last.

In "Date Night," Barry Allen and Iris West share a quiet evening out, but their moment is tested when Wally West, determined to protect their romance, launches a city-wide sweep to stop every crime at once—leading to an unexpected clash with Tar Pit. As the night unfolds, Barry and Iris confront the tangled history between them, wondering what it would take to finally make things work.
