Series: The Flash (New 52)

Summary

This is issue #48 of DC Comics' The Flash during the New 52 era (The Flash Vol. 4, 2011–2016). Its original title is "Public Enemy," and it was published on February 10, 2016, written by Robert Venditti and Van Jensen with Jesús Merino as lead artist. In the aftermath of the confrontation with Zoom, Barry Allen's father Henry Allen is freed, but the Flash is now seen by Central City as its number one threat: the police issue a warrant for his arrest, and the mayor even "temporarily appoints" Rogues such as Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, Trickster, and Golden Glider as law enforcement tasked specifically with hunting the Flash. More ironic still, as a forensic scientist with the CCPD, Barry himself is assigned to the manhunt, and must pursue "himself" while continuing to save people at disaster scenes. In this issue, a chemical plant leak forces the Flash to appear, and the Rogues corner him with drones; meanwhile, Wally West discovers that his hands have begun vibrating at abnormal speed, hinting that a new speedster is about to emerge. As the opening chapter of The Flash Vol. 9: Full Stop (collecting issues #48–52), this issue lays out both the dilemma of "the hero becomes public enemy" and new clues about the Speed Force, making it an important link between the late New 52 era and DC Rebirth.

Editor's review

这一期的看点不在大场面，而在“身份错位”造成的荒诞张力：被全城通缉的闪电侠，白天还得坐在警局里帮忙分析追捕自己的证据，晚上再戴上面具去救人。文迪蒂与范·詹森把“公众背弃英雄”的老套母题写出了几分黑色幽默——市长请来一群职业罪犯当警察，这种设定本身就是对体制的不信任宣言。赫苏斯·梅里诺的画风干净利落，灾难现场的调度与速度线处理都相当耐看，为这段略显压抑的剧情保住了一贯的动感。对新52闪电侠的长期读者来说，本期还有两处不容错过：一是亨利·艾伦获释后父子之间那顿匆匆结束的晚餐，二是沃利·韦斯特手掌的异常振动——它为后来“谁是闪电侠”的争论埋下了伏笔。需要提醒的是，这是单期刊物而非合订本，篇幅有限、情节推进偏快，建议与后续第49—52期连读，才能完整体会这段“全面停摆”的收束感。

FAQ

这一期是单本漫画还是一整套合集？

是单期刊物（The Flash Vol.4 #48），共32页。它属于《闪电侠》新52连载，同时也是合订本《The Flash Vol.9: Full Stop》收录的第一期，该卷收录第48—52期。

第48期的故事讲了什么？

与极速一战后，闪电侠被中央城市视为公敌，市长任命无赖帮成员协助警方追捕他；巴里作为警局鉴证员也被派去“抓自己”。化工厂事故中他现身救人，却遭无赖帮围堵，同时沃利·韦斯特开始显现异常速度。

编剧和画师分别是谁？

编剧为罗伯特·文迪蒂（Robert Venditti）与范·詹森（Van Jensen），主笔为赫苏斯·梅里诺（Jesús Merino），封面由伊万·雷斯（Ivan Reis）与乔·普拉多（Joe Prado）绘制。

没读过新52其他期能直接看这一期吗？

可以勉强读懂，但会缺少对极速之战、亨利·艾伦入狱及无赖帮立场转变的背景认识，理解人物动机时会打折扣，建议至少先读第41—47期。

这一期有中文正式出版版吗？

詹森 Author

Janson is an author whose credited information is relatively limited; no clear records are available regarding nationality, dates of birth and death, or English name. The library holds three works under this name, including The Old Man and the Sea, The Moon and Sixpence, and Selected Works of Maugham (4 volumes), commonly classified as foreign literature. Judging from these titles, the content relates to works by renowned foreign authors such as Hemingway and Maugham, presented mostly in the form of classic translations or compilations, with themes centered on foreign literary fiction and prose. Because verifiable background information about the author is insufficient, it is difficult to further describe their life experience or writing style; readers may regard the name as a compiler or translator credit for foreign literature titles.
