In 1990, Mark Waid’s legendary writing career began when he scripted his first issue of THE FLASH. Waid continued to work on Wally West for nearly a decade, building a world that would keep the character running for years after Waid’s departure to other titles. Under his keen pen, Wally West gained a new depth of character that changed THE FLASH for good.
 
In this book, Wally is dealing with the aftermath of Professor Zoom’s return only to have his friends from the Teen Titans, Nightwing and Starfire, show up in Central City. He’s only just getting his feet back under him when his world is turned upside down again, this time with lawsuit from a woman who claimed the Flash failed to save her due to negligence. What is a superhero to do when faced with public scrutiny? Was the Flash at fault, or was there something more nefarious at work?
 
This third volume of THE FLASH BY MARK WAID series collects THE FLASH #80-94.

Born in Hueytown, Alabama, Mark Waid has earned his living as a lounge singer, a magician, a disc jockey, an accountant and in many other ways, but none of them as eclectic--or fun--as scripting comic books. Waid has written for every major comics publisher, including Marvel Comics, Archie (where he served briefly as their cover-gag editor), Dark Horse, Image, DC Comics and Top Cow. His credits include X-MEN, FLASH, JLA, RUSE, FANTASTIC FOUR, the best-seller KINGDOM COME, his creator-owned series EMPIRE and the Top Cow breakout hit HUNTER-KILLER.
