DC First: Flash/Superman #1

Part of a series of one-shots in the early 2000s, DC First: Flash/Superman #1 is a story that partly retells the original race from the 1960s between the two superheroes. With this comic, however, Superman races against the original Flash, Jay Garrick rather than Barry Allen, to save the current Flash, Wally West. After the futuristic magician, Abra Kadabra, escapes from prison he places a curse on the three heroes in which Superman and Jay have to race against each other to save Wally who is aging at a rapid rate. The race, caused by their powers, causes them to travel into the future wherein they manage to fix the curse and capture Abra. This one-shot's story isn't entirely unique or does anything that's truly remarkable, but Geoff Johns's writing is still well told and the dialogue is good and kept at a minimum so that the artwork can also tell the story. Speaking of the artwork, it's pretty much expected from a comic book of 2002, but with great lighting and detail. That work by Rick Burchett as well as the coloring and shading from Prints Rollins, James Sinclair, and Digital Chameleon also add to the good art. The art and writing both work together to give us a fun story that isn't afraid to tackle some of the sillier aspects of superhero stories while still having a lot of serious moments. Not every comic everyone reads needs to be expected to be something huge and important, some just need to be fun and well written as DC First: Flash/Superman #1 is. Over all: 100%
