Absolute Flash

by Jeff Lemire, Nick Robles

A young Wally West trying to learn speed without the comfort of the old Flash family or even the Speed Force’s rulebook.

Geek’s cut

Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.

Deeper dive

Lemire is perfect for this flavor of Flash: a little sad, a little hopeful, and very aware that power doesn’t come with a manual. It reads like a character study accidentally wrapped in a superhero book, which is exactly the kind of thing you want in an “Absolute”‑branded experiment.
