On Sale: The Flash: Rebirth #1

Barry Allen is back! Tomorrow, the stunning story behind the scarlet speedster's surprise resurrection begins to unfold in The Flash: Rebirth #1, an issue launching an all-new epic mini-series from Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver. As if you needed the reminder...

Written by Geoff Johns; Art and covers by Ethan Van Sciver. Through the decades, many heroes have taken the mantle of the Flash, but they all ride the lightning that crackles in the wake of the greatest hero the DC Universe has ever known, the man who sacrificed himself to save the Multiverse: Barry Allen! Following the events of Final Crisis, Barry has beaten death and returned to a fast-paced world that a man out of time wouldn’t recognize. Or is it a world that is only just now catching up? All the running he’s done before was just a warmup for the high-speed race that he and every other Flash must now run, because even though one speedster might have beaten death, another has just turned up dead! From Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, the visionaries responsible for the blockbuster Green Lantern: Rebirth and The Sinestro Corps War, comes the start of an explosive and jaw-dropping epic that will reintroduce to the modern age the hero who single-handedly birthed the Silver Age of comics! DC history will be made, and the Flash legacy will be redefined! On sale April 1st. 1 of 5. 40 pg. FC. $3.99 US.

I wasn't really big on this idea when it was first announced. I'm a Wally West fan more than anything else, and the preview pages that were released were not promising, but its been a while since we've had a new Flash comic and since I've recently completed my Wally West series collection (after 22 years) I'm starting to look forward to this. The only problem is that our comics usually don't get in until Friday (sometimes Saturday) so I have to keep myself from getting spoiled on the issue in the meantime.

I find myself wondering what sort of haircut they'll give Barry. He's best known for a crewcut, for God's sake.
