The Flash by Mark Waid — Book Three (featuring “Reckless Youth”)

Professor Zoom has been defeated, Wally West has regained his top speed and put aside his insecurities about living up to Barry Allen’s legacy, and Mark Waid’s Flash is now a comic book to watch as 1993 turns into 1994. As rookie penciler Mike Wieringo comes aboard as new regular artist, Waid teams Wally up with Nightwing and Starfire (and his ex-girlfriend), puts the Flash on trial, and hints at the secret source of superspeed. We also meet breakout character Bart Allen, soon to be known as Impulse! We’ll guide you through a chunk of issues that may not contain any six-issue epics, but it puts Wally on the path to maturity and makes his relationship with Linda Park into the focus of the series.

Discussed in this episode: Flash #80-94
