Flash/Impulse: Runs in the Family

<p><strong>Meet the FASTEST kid alive!</strong><br /><br />Bart Allen seems like a typical, fun-loving teen&mdash;except that he totally isn't! This 30th-century kid was born with a hyper-accelerated metabolism that caused him to age rapidly, so he had to be raised in a virtual reality environment that could keep pace with his hypersonic mind and body for most of his life.<br /><br />After arriving in the late 20th century and finding a way to stabilize his aging process, Bart has decided to stick around and learn what it takes to be a hero. Under the tutelage of zen Speed Force master Max Mercury, Bart's about to find out that life isn't a video game and that the real world has real consequences&mdash;especially when villains like White Lightning, Gridlock, and the evil speedster Savitar come a-knocking. But a little danger now and then isn't going to slow down this fleet-footed funster!<br /><br />Join Bart as he turns the quiet town of Manchester, Alabama, upside down in this high-voltage collection of tales. From Mark Waid (<em>Kingdom Come)</em> and Humberto Ramos (<em>The Amazing Spider-Man</em>) comes the beginning of their incredible run on Impulse in <em>Flash/ Impulse: Runs in the Family</em>. This volume collects <em>Impulse</em> #1-12 and <em>The Flash</em> #108-111, including the six-part "Dead Heat" crossover event co-starring the Flash.</p>
