Summary:Barry Allen-- the Flash. His birth kick-started the Silver Age, and his heroic death defending the Universe from a cosmic Crisis made him a legend. Now another Crisis has brought Barry back to life, and the Fastest Man Alive is out of step with the world. With the Flash legacy well preserved, Barry has no purpose except to try to solve the one mystery that eluded him during his previous life-- the murder of his mother. But mysteries abound surrounding Barry's return. Why was Barry able to escape the Speed force-- the extra-dimensional energy field that all speedsters draw from-- when other heroes and villains were not? What strange transformation is Barry undergoing when he's around other speedsters? And most of all, who is it who brought Barry back to life-- and was the Flash reborn only so be could be destroyed once again?

Author Notes:Geoff Johns was born in 1973 in Detroit, Michigan. As a child, Johns and his brother first discovered comics through an old box of comics they found in their grandmother's attic, which included copies of Flash, Superman, Green Lantern, Batman from the 1960s and 1970s. Johns eventually began to patronize a comics shop in Traverse City, recalling that the first new comics he bought were Crisis on Infinite Earth and Flash, as the latter was his favorite character. As Johns continued collecting comics, he gravitated toward DC Comics and later Vertigo Comics, and also drew comics. After graduating from Clarkston High School in 1991, he studied media arts, screenwriting, film production and film theory at Michigan State University and graduated from Michigan State in 1995. Johns met up with DC Comics personnel Eddie Berganza who invited Johns to tour the DC Comics offices, and offered Johns the opportunity to pitch ideas, which led to Johns pitching Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., a book based on the second Star-Spangled Kid and her stepfather, to editor Chuck Kim a year later. John's soon became a regular writer on such series as The Flash and The Avengers United. He also writes for series such as Teen Titans and The Future is Now. His title Earth One made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012.
