Run for your life!

In the new, dark Absolute Universe, young Wally West has some problems: His mother is dead, and he has a strained relationship with his father Rudy, a Colonel in the Army. Additionally, the army kid lacks friends. In this tense situation, he meets scientist Barry Allen, who invites him to his lab on the army base for a distraction. An incident occurs that completely changes Wally's life and grants him strange powers. Out of fear, he runs away and is now on the run from the nasty Rogues, who want to bring him back to his father. A fantastic start to the fast-paced reinterpretation by bestselling author Jeff Lemire, beautifully illustrated by Nick Robles and A. L. Kaplan.
