Flash/Impulse: Runs in the Family

Few DC characters represent the fun and fast-paced energy of 1990s superhero comic books like Bart Allen the teen speedster better known as Impulse and his early solo adventures are back in print in this new collection! Due to his hyper-accelerated metabolism, Bart Allen was aging fast like, really fast and was raised in a 30th-century virtual reality simulation so his brain could keep up with his body. So when he winds up in the present, he sees the world as one big video game and he s got a lot to learn if he s going to embrace his new superhero status as Impulse.
