Several long-awaited speedster books arrive in stores this week.
The Flash #11
Written by GEOFF JOHNS; Art and Cover by FRANCIS MANAPUL ; 1:10 Variant Cover by SCOTT KOLINS
The road to FLASHPOINT is paved with good intentions, but the Flash is about to learn the truth behind those good intentions — and the secret of Hot Pursuit!
DC Universe 32pg. Color $2.99 US
I’m guessing this isn’t Hot Pursuit’s secret. Also: Scott Kolins’ variant cover is pretty cool.
Flash: Rebirth (Softcover)
Written by GEOFF JOHNS; Art and cover by ETHAN VAN SCIVER
Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, the writer/artist team behind the blockbuster GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH and THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR, create an explosive, jaw-dropping epic that reintroduces Barry Allen as The Flash in this new collection of the fast-paced 6-issue miniseries. But how will this greatest of all Flashes find his place in the 21st century?
DC Universe 168pg. Color Softcover $14.99 US
Has it really taken this long for the softcover collection to come out? It’s almost exactly a year since the hardcover release. (I guess they really are following a book publishing style schedule.)
Velocity #4
story: Ron Marz
art & cover: Kenneth Rocafort
The clock counts down to zero as the taut, pulse pounding series races to its conclusion. Carin Taylor, the hero known as Velocity, has been infected with a deadly techno-virus. Thus far she has been successful in saving most of her teammates from the same virus, but now the exertion is taking its toil and the fastest girl in the world may not be able to win this race. The issue concludes the creative collaboration of writer Ron Marz (Witchblade, Angelus) and artist Kenneth Rocafort (Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer).
Full Color 32 pages $3.99 limited series

“this new collection of the ‘fast-paced’ 6-issue miniseries”
Did the person who had to write this even READ Flash Rebirth? :/
Only now? Makes me glad I bought the hardcover instead for once!
