Flash #2 - DC

This series has really started out with a bang, literally. We start out getting a little back history on Impulse, and how he's ended up where he's at. We find out that he is the sole possessor of the Speed Force. But, it's burning him out,and tends so explode when he uses it. That's part of how the explosion happened in the last issue. Now Griffin, who was with him, is in the hospital healing up, but, apparently somehow he is now tapped in. We get to see Jay and his wife and check in again with our women at STAR labs, Valerie Perez and Dr. McGee. I think Valerie is going to play a key in this series. Bart and Griffin end up back at the Automobile plant, where the explosion happened, because of a press conference being held. Someone ends up in a precarious situation, and Griffin save him before Bart can do anything. But then, another bomb goes off at STAR labs and the final splash page is Bart suiting up and racing to the scene. Danny Bilson and Paul Demeo are the authors of this tale. They're done a fine job jumping out of the starting gate, right into the action, and given us a sufficient amount of history and character developement. Impressive! And Ken Lashley on pencils, is perfect for this series and the feel of the book. This is going to be an exciting series and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.
