⚡ The Flash (2011) #2 – “The Speed of Thought”
Barry’s powers evolve in unexpected ways here. He learns he can think at super-speed, processing thousands of possibilities in seconds. This issue really explores the science behind being The Flash and what it means to live faster than anyone else—mentally and physically.
Meanwhile, the clone mystery deepens, and we see the ethical dilemmas of Barry’s powers start to emerge. The pacing is excellent—both literally and narratively—and Manapul’s panel design captures speed in a way no other comic artist quite manages.
