It’s been almost two years since DC officially brought Barry Allen back from the dead in DC Universe #0. Two company-wide crossovers, eight more issues of Wally West’s series, two Flash miniseries and a Secret Files special later, DC has finally gotten to what we all knew was coming: a new ongoing Flash series starring Barry Allen.
