Flash

Wally West is no longer just the kid who inherited Barry Allen's speed. In Mark Waid's second Flash omnibus, he has to earn the name, understand the legacy and discover what kind of hero he can become when the whole DC universe still measures him against the past. This volume keeps the heart of Waid's run intact: speed, family, doubt, momentum and the slow transformation of Wally into the Flash on his own terms.

Mark Waid's first Flash omnibus is where Wally West stops feeling like the replacement and starts becoming the heart of the legacy. The speed is bright and spectacular, but the real story is confidence, family, memory and the impossible shadow of Barry Allen. This is the start of the modern Wally West shelf: warm, fast, emotional and built around the idea that inheriting a symbol is only the beginning.
