Stupendous!
This stupendous graphic novel is a reprint, in a book form, of the FLASH #96-100 (1994-95). In the story Crisis in Time, Wally West, the Flash, was given a glimpse of a horrific future. And then, wandering back in time, he gets to see the events that made him the man he is. But, haunted by his knowledge of future events, Wally must train up Bart Allen (the Impulse, and Barry Allen's grandson), so that he can help him to change the future. But, even with the help of Jay Garrick (Flash I), Johnny Quick, Max Mercury and Jessie Quick, can Wally and Bart change the future, and save everything that Wally holds dear? Read this book to find out!

This is a great graphic novel - it is stupendous - I would go as far as to say that it is the best graphic novel that I have ever read, and I have read more than a few! The illustrations are very good, but short of what I have come to expect from recent graphic novels. BUT, what makes this book great is the story. Mark Waid succeeds in spinning a story that is very touching, and yet stuffed full of action and adventure. Plus, besides learning more of what makes Wally West tick, this book actually lets you in on the secret of what gives the speedsters their powers!

So, if you like the Flash, or just like a good superhero story, then you must get this book!
