Absolute Power: Task Force VII #5
Barry Allen is the lone speedster to still have his powers, staying barely a step ahead of the Flash-themed Amazo, VELOCITY, now powered by the speed of the rest of the Flash Family.
While Barry must keep moving to avoid capture, he’s also working as a one-man communications network for the remaining free heroes.
Can Barry continue to aid the Resistance, or has time run out for the Flash?
