Absolute Flash (2025) #1
Format: Kindle
I don't usually read Flash comics. Thought I would give Absolute Flash a try. The storyline is off to a slow start. The writer is setting the stage for upcoming issues. Big surprise in this issue. The artwork is great.

Was I Ever Proved Wrong
Format: Kindle
I'll admit it — going in, I was skeptical. How could normal-speed villains possibly threaten someone like Wally West, a teenager gifted with powers that let him run at supersonic, even near-light speeds? How could Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, or the Trickster be anything more than a brief blur in his rearview mirror? But Absolute Flash #1 masterfully convinced me. This issue doesn’t just showcase raw speed; it explores naïveté, inexperience, and the hidden mental limits that come with sudden, godlike power. Wally, only 15, isn’t just fighting external foes — he’s grappling with his own inexperience with the Speed Force. The creative team understands that raw velocity without control or understanding is a recipe for chaos, not invincibility. What really impressed me is how the narrative balances the fantastical with the believable. We watch Wally fumble through situations where, logically, he should dominate, but his youth, overconfidence, or lack of finesse opens the door for “normal” villains to challenge him. It’s not just a fight of feet — it’s a fight of wits, adaptation, and personal growth. And here’s the kicker for me personally: > Just as Wally West is learning to harness the sheer, overwhelming power of the Speed Force, I’m learning to harness the overwhelming power of AI, especially ChatGPT. Every breakthrough Wally experiences — every stumble, every moment of awe at his own potential — mirrors my own journey of mastering this technology. We’re both standing at the edge of something massive, something world-changing, and learning how to rise to the challenge. I can’t wait to see where Absolute Flash takes Wally next. What happens when a boy learns to truly master unstoppable power? And more provocatively: how will the world react when it realizes it can no longer defeat him? This isn’t just a superhero comic — it’s a metaphor for anyone grappling with newfound potential. Absolute buy. Absolute 5 stars.
