Re: The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (spoilers)
Did anyone even buy this issue?
It starts off with Bart running up a building in his Flash suit, explaining how the Griffin attacked him. Bart realizes he can't slow down. The Griffin (not knowing Bart is the Flash) wonders why after throwing Bart out a window that he is nowhere to be found.
Bart is now falling from the air. He then lands at the Keystone Zoo, only to meet up with Cyborg. They leave and talk about the Speed Force and Superboy Prime. Next we see Bart sitting at a restaraunt with Jay and his wife, waiting for Valerie to meet them. Bart gets worried because she is late and runs back to herhouse to check on her. He finds a note telling him that she went out West to start a new life.When he gets back to the table, the Griffin drives by and Jay and Bart head after them.
They begin to chase the Griffin, but with no sucess. They make a side stop to stop a robbery that the Griffin was heading to stop. The Griffin starts whinning, and the cops start to make fun of him. The Griffin hops on a helicopter and gets away.
We then see Val locked up in a room with Inertia, who she at first thinks is Bart. The Griffin meanwhile decides that he needs Jay Garrick to live longer and be stronger. Switch back to Valerie with her Dad and Inertia. They tell her that they plan to get rid of every Speedster.
Jay is taking his morning walk, and the Griffin is tracking him. The Griffin uses a metal pole to conduct electricity into Jay, which knocks him out. Later, Bart learns that Jay is missing. Next, we see Griffin trying to get Jay's power from him. Jay tells him it won't work, but Griffin tries it anyway, which makes Jay yell in agony. Bart discovers the scorch marks where the Griffin captured Jay and races off to find him.
End of Issue #5.
Average at best, but still improvement over the last couple of issues.
