The series will be written by Jeff Lemire and illustrated by Nick Robles, and is expected to begin publication on March 4, 2025, as part of DC's Absolute Universe (AU) imprint. It is the fourth title from the Absolute Universe, and the first title of the second wave of Absolute comics released in 2025.

Premise

A young Wally West must understand and train with his powers. Unlike most interpretations of the Flash, there is no Speed Force or Flash family.[1]

Publication history

In July 2024, it was reported that Jeff Lemire would be writing a comic in the as of then rumored Absolute Universe.[2] In San-Diego Comic Con, it was revealed that Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles would be the creative team for Absolute Flash, and that it would begin publication in March 2025.[3]

Lemire chose to write Flash because of a lack of a teenage perspective from the original catalog, having a much more light tone than the rest of the Absolute Universe titles, as well as Lemire having grown with Wally and favoring him.[4]
