More Flash news from Collected Editions: Fall 2009 will also see the release of the trade paperback, Flash: The Human Race. No doubt this will collect Flash #136-141, containing “The Human Race” (Grant Morrison & Mark Millar, with art by Paul Ryan & John Nyberg) and “The Black Flash,” (Mark Millar with art by Pop Mhan & Chris Ivy), rounding out the Morrison/Millar run on The Flash starts with January’s release of The Flash: Emergency Stop.
Frankly, I’m surprised they went with “The Human Race” as the title. I think “The Black Flash” is a more well-remembered (and well-regarded) story, particularly given the character’s recent appearances in The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive — Full Throttle.
Now if DC will just start filling in some of the missing stories from the Mark Waid/Brian Augustyn run…
Update: Amazon now shows a release date of June 9, 2009.
sweet! i love getting more Flash back issues in book form!
Personally, I liked “The Human Race” more than “The Black Flash,” even if the ending of “Race” is heavily reminiscent of the ending of Morrison’s JLA story “World War III.”
