The Flash Vol. 1: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues

Barry Allen made his return in Flash: Rebirth but he still hasn't gotten used to being back at his old life.  This volume takes place during the Brightest Day event.  Barry is wanted by the Renegades a future version of the Rogues for the murder of Mirror Monarch.  Flash believes he is innocent and has been framed for this crime.  However the Renegades wish to arrest and try him before he commits this crime.  Barry is racing against the clock trying to prove his own innocence.  While the Flash is dealing with the Renegades Captain Boomerang has returned to the land of the living and he doesn't know why he is trying to figure how to get back into the good graces of the Rogues.  This new lease on life has given Digger some new powers as well and he can't wait to show them off.  The real hero of this story is Iris Allen as she cracks the case and proves Barry's innocence and the Renegades realize that they duped by one of their own.  But back to Captain Boomerang he realizes that he doesn't need the Rogues anymore and to prove that he sets out to free the Reverse Flash.  

There is a lot to like in this volume of the Flash first off is that this is Geoff Johns writing it is a shame that Johns's is writing less and less at DC Comics I have really enjoyed everything he has put his pen to.  Also this volume is illustrated by Francis Manapul who took over the title during the New 52.  There is a scene I absolutely love in this book where an apartment building is destroyed during a fight with the Flash.  Barry runs around gathering the materials and rebuilds the building for the tenants.  I am looking forward to whatever else Geoff Johns has planned.
