Without the mentor, without the family, without the Speed Force, he s still the Absolute Scarlet Speedster! Superstar creators Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles are taking the Flash into the Absolute Universe with a top-to-bottom reinvention, perfect for new readers and longtime fans alike! An astonishing new version of DC s iconic characters is here! In the Absolute Universe, familiar heroes have been reinvented from the ground up with origin stories that completely reshape both their abilities and their circumstances but maintain the core characteristics that fans have known and loved for decades! Wally West s world has been turned upside down. Now quite literally on the run from the people he once trusted, he must navigate an impossible world full of dangers he never knew existed and he must do so without the help and guidance of his former mentor. The Flash joins the Absolute Universe in a bold new take on the DC Universe s Scarlet Speedster, written by award-winning author Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth), and illustrated by Nick Robles. Collects Absolute Flash issues #1-6.
