Bringing back Barry Allen is DC saying, "we failed." The Silver Age Flash's death in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was probably the most powerful and heartbreaking superhero death of all, and arguably, one of the most interesting things to happen to the character. His death also represented the end of a comics era, paving the way for the company to create a Flash for modern audiences, that would hopefully capture the spirit of a new age, just as Barry had. Well, that never happened, so here you go: Barry Allen reshaped for the bloodthirsty and aging modern comics demographic. You also get a pretty sloppy storyline featuring time travel, plot details mired in past-continuity, and so many speedsters (including three named "the Flash") that super-speed doesn't seem so super any more. With this book, Geoff Johns is making his case for Barry Allen's resurrection. Unfortunately, it's not a very convincing one.Get more detail about The Flash: Rebirth.
