LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE! Barry Allen--the Flash. His birth kick-started the Silver Age, and his heroic death defending the universe from a cosmic crisis made him a legend. Now Barry Allen has returned to life, and every hero in the DC Universe is overjoyed...except for Barry himself. But there's a purpose to Barry's return that no one could have guessed, and it has to do with a bizarre murder in a Central City crime lab that seems to re-create the accident that gave Barry his speed powers. Whatever happened to Barry Allen when he escaped from the extradimensional energy reserve known as the Speed Force, it changed him in ways he still doesn't understand...and may not understand until it's too late. Acclaimed creators Geoff Johns (Justice League, Green Lantern), Ethan Van Sciver (Green Lantern: Rebirth), Francis Manapul (Superboy: The Boy of Steel), and Scott Kolins (Final Crisis: Rogues' Revenge) return Barry Allen to greatness in this compact collection!
