The Flash By Mark Waid, Book Four

In 1990, Mark Waid's writing career began when he scripted his first issue of The Flash. Waid continued to work on Wally West for nearly a decade, building a world that would keep the character running for years after Waid's departure to other titles. Under Waid's keen pen, Wally West gained a new depth of character that changed The Flash for good.

This graphic novel features Wally West as he glimpses an undesirable future after traveling through the time stream. Fearing for his loved ones and unable to reach maximum velocity without transforming into pure energy, Wally seeks a successor to the Flash mantle. Wally, Max Mercury, Johnny Quick, and Jesse Quick train Impulse to prevent a terrible future, but the outcome remains uncertain.
