The Flash Vol. 5: DC K.O.

Description

The Flash Vol. 5: DC K.O. expands the grand DC K.O. saga through the lens of the Speed Force. The Flash family becomes a connecting link between timelines as battles rage across all worlds, and the fight for the Heart of Apokolips reshapes the very flow of time.

Legendary Flash writer Mark Waid returns to a character he co-created – Impulse. The impulsive speedster decides he can stop the chaos of DC K.O. by himself. However, his Impulsepoint causes far more harm than good, and now the Flash must stop Impulse's race through time before he destroys everything.

Meanwhile, Darkseid's Absolute Legion chases the speedsters all the way back to the moment of Barry Allen's origin, and Jay Garrick enters a legendary K.O. fight with Green Lantern Guy Gardner.

This volume collects The Flash #26–30.
