FLASH: REBIRTH #1 (OF 5) WRITTEN BY GEOFF JOHNS ART; ETHAN VAN SCIVER - DC Comics
The speed force is with us! After sacrificing his life for the universe in Crisis on Infinite Earths back in 1985, it looks like Barry Allen is back from the dead, soon to return as the Flash.
From the creative team that brought you the hit series Green Lantern: Rebirth, writer Geoff Johns (JSA, Green Lantern, Action Comics) and artist Ethan Van Sciver ( Green Lantern) have sinked their teeth into their favorite character. The Flash legacy will never be the same. Look out for Wally, Bart and all the speedstars to make an appearance. If you're going to pick up one book for the year, this is it! A MUST!!
Through the decades, many heroes have taken the mantle of The Flash, but they all ride the lightning that crackles in the wake of the greatest hero the DC Universe has ever known, the man who sacrificed himself to save the Multiverse: Barry Allen! Following the events of FINAL CRISIS, Barry has beaten death and returned to a fast-paced world that a man out of time wouldn't recognize. Or is it a world that is only just now catching up? All the running he's done before was just a warmup for the high-speed race that he and every other Flash must now run, because even though one speedster might have beaten death, another has just turned up dead! From Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, the visionaries responsible for the blockbuster GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH and THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR, comes the start of an explosive and jaw-dropping epic that will reintroduce to the modern age the hero who single-handedly birthed the Silver Age of comics! DC history will be made, and the Flash legacy will be redefined!

Deadpool Classic Vol 2 TPB
Everyones favorite merc of the moment seems to be having Wolverine disease, appearing everywhere at once (Deadpool, T-bolts, One-shots, X-force), but really... who is complaining? Going back ten years, Marvel have collected the second installment of the classic Deadpool stories in a trade paper back, continuing where the first volume left off.
THE STORY: Landau, Luckman, and Lake want Deadpool to rebuild himself as a hero but he'll be lucky to pull himself together as he is! His healing factor's down, and the only thing that'll juice it up is a dose of the Incredible Hulk's blood administered by the Weapon X alumnus who helped make Deadpool what he is in the first place! Not even mad science can mend a torn heart, though, as Deadpool's infatuation with X-Force's Siryn (later of X-FACTOR) is challenged by Typhoid Mary who turns heads as easily as she cracks skulls! When she sets off on a grudge match against Daredevil, can Deadpool contain a killing machine even more off kilter than he is? Also featuring wily weapon-boy Weasel, hostage extraordinaire Blind Al and the Taskmaster, later of AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE! Collecting DEADPOOL #2-8 and #-1, and DAREDEVIL/DEADPOOL ANNUAL 1997.
