Bart Allen at last embraces his heritage to become the latest speedster to don the mantle of The Flash. The future looks bright-his former colleagues in the Teen Titans ask him to rejoin their team; he’s to be honored at the Flash Museum; and best of all, he is being considered for membership in the Justice League of America. Heady stuff for a young hero. Unfortunately, becoming a Flash also carries with it certain burdens. It’s no secret that the previous Flashes made many deadly enemies over the years, and those enemies are intent on seeking vengeance on any hero who carries on the legend of the Scarlet Speedster. When this desperate Rogues Gallery teams up to bring down the latest Flash, will Bart have what it takes to defeat the vicious onslaught? Or will his career end before it has a chance to begin? FULL THROTTLE is the most shocking and tragic storyline in Flash history, and sets up a new era of greatness for the Fastest Man Alive.

Bart Allen: formerly Impulse, formerly Kid Flash. During the catastrophe called the Infinite Crisis, Bart aged four years in a matter of minutes, with no memory of how he spent the time. Also during the Crisis, The Flash disappeared, along with the Speed Force, which powers all of Earth’s speedsters. One year later, Bart finds himself a powerless factory worker living in Keystone City. Like all of those before him who have claimed the name Flash, a strange accident gives the youth the power of fantastic velocity and a reconnection to the missing Speed Force. Wanting no part of his family’s legacy, the newest Flash tries desperately to strip himself of his powers; but can a man discard his destiny? In the same disaster that created the new Flash, Bart’s best friend Griffin Gray receives amazing abilities of his own. Unfortunately, his lightning-based powers are causing him to rapidly age. His solution to his dilemma, though not proven, is to siphon off the energy of slowly aging original Flash Jay Garrick­-even if it will kill him. The Secrets of the Speed Force, Bart’s missing years and what happened to the previous Flashes are all revealed in this story written by Danny Bilson and Paul Demeo with art by Ken Lashley, Karl Kerschel and more.

A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, 2019 Comics studies has reached a crossroads. Graphic novels have never received more attention and legitimation from scholars, but new canons and new critical discourses have created tensions within a field built on the populist rhetoric of cultural studies. As a result, comics studies has begun to cleave into distinct camps—based primarily in cultural or literary studies—that attempt to dictate the boundaries of the discipline or else resist disciplinarity itself. The consequence is a growing disconnect in the ways that comics scholars talk to each other—or, more frequently, do not talk to each other or even acknowledge each other’s work. Breaking the Frames: Populism and Prestige in Comics Studies surveys the current state of comics scholarship, interrogating its dominant schools, questioning their mutual estrangement, and challenging their propensity to champion the comics they study. Marc Singer advocates for greater disciplinary diversity and methodological rigor in comics studies, making the case for a field that can embrace more critical and oppositional perspectives. Working through extended readings of some of the most acclaimed comics creators—including Marjane Satrapi, Alan Moore, Kyle Baker, and Chris Ware—Singer demonstrates how comics studies can break out of the celebratory frameworks and restrictive canons that currently define the field to produce new scholarship that expands our understanding of comics and their critics.
