DC Universe: Rebirth #1 by Geoff Johns

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Rebirth marks a bold new direction for the DC Universe and a bit of a fix on the last big attempt to change the DC Universe. The story has Wally West, the post-Crisis Flash for two decades and one of the most popular comic characters of all-time running through the Speed Force, trying to escape the Speed Force and reclaim his place in the World and find one person who remembers him.

It's a four chapter story with an epilogue. The second chapter was probably the least interesting in the book. The emotional journey of Wally dealing with the aftermath of the new 52 that left a DC Universe that lacked the heart people had come to expect from their comics is emotional as is Wally's journey. The end of Chapter 4 is powerful and satisfying, and that leads to the Epilogue and it's absolutely stunning reveal.

This book is a fix for Flashpoint and the New 52. However, Goeff Johns deserves credit for making it something more than that. It's an emotional journey and a ride through the DC Universe.
