Having discovered his mother murdered and his father blamed for the act, forensic scientist Barry Allen sought to clear his father's name and find the real killer. After being doused in chemicals and struck by lightning, Barry was granted the gift of super-speed. Now he protects his hometown of Central City as The Flash, the fastest man alive and founding member of the Justice League.
@batmannflash: Dude I just want to thank you! Because of this blog you did I decided to get into The Flash (Barry Allan)and I'm in love with him. I went and got trades for The Flash Rebirth and also for the New 52 Flash and I'm hooked. But thanks for the info you posted here its what pushed me to get into it.
@humanrocket: wow! no problem! that's definitely been my goal with these blogs: to share why I love these characters and hopefully others can learn to love them too.
Yeah Barry is my second favorite hero ever and the New 52 Flash series is great.
You should definitely check out the 12 issue series by Geoff Johns and Brian Buccellato/Francis Manapul (same art as the New 52 Flash) The Flash
If you like the current series, you'll definitely love this one
@batmannflash: nice I just checked you the covers of the vol and I can tell that I enjoy it. Thanks for the recommendation let you know how I enjoy it.
I just started reading DC comicbooks (from the Silver Age), I chose some big names to start and Flash is just the best of them all. Barry is by far the most charismatic and easy liking character . Your explanation of number 1 is exactly how i see him, and maybe the reason why i become such a huge fan of him.
