Barry Allen — the Flash. His birth kick-started the Silver Age, and his heroic death defending the universe from a cosmic crisis made him a legend. Now Barry Allen has returned to life, and every hero in the DC Universe is overjoyed…except for Barry himself. But there’s a purpose to Barry’s return that no one could have guessed, and it has to do with a bizarre murder in a Central City crime lab that seems to re-create the accident that gave Barry his speed powers. Whatever happened to Barry Allen when he escaped from the extradimensional energy reserve known as the Speed Force, it changed him in ways he still doesn’t understand…and may not understand until it’s too late. Acclaimed creators Geoff Johns (Justice League, Green Lantern), Ethan Van Sciver (Green Lantern: Rebirth), Francis Manapul (Superboy: The Boy of Steel), and Scott Kolins (Final Crisis: Rogues’ Revenge) return Barry Allen to greatness in this compact collection!

The original Teen Titans always stood in the shadows of their larger-than-life mentors— young heroes like Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash saw plenty of action, but it was Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash who ultimately called the shots. All that changed, however, with the arrival of the New Teen Titans in 1980 — and the lives of DC’s adolescent adventurers would never be the same! Crafted by comics legends Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, this all-new super-team featured greater dangers, fiercer emotions, and more tangled relationships than any that had come before. The Titans’ celebrated stories have ensured that the names of Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and the Changeling will be passed down through history alongside those famous aliases employed by Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, and Wally West. New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 2 collects issues #21-41 of the classic series, together with its first two annuals and the special crossover issue Batman and the Outsiders #5, and includes an introductory piece from Wolfman.
