The Flash Vol. 15
Tags
Summary
This is the 15th volume of the Flash series published during DC Comics' "New 52" era. The New 52 was a company-wide relaunch DC initiated in 2011 after the Flashpoint event: every title in the main DC universe had its numbering reset to issue #1, and The Flash was relaunched as well, with Barry Allen as the lead character and redesigned costume and worldbuilding. The early part of the series was created by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, and is known for bold layouts, a strong sense of speed in the artwork, and a visualized treatment of the Speed Force; it is regarded as one of the stronger titles of the New 52 period. The story centers on Barry Allen, a scientist with the Central City Police Department who gains super-speed in an accident and protects the city as the Flash, facing enemies such as the Rogues, Gorilla Grodd, and the Reverse-Flash, while constantly torn between his personal life and his heroic responsibilities. This is the 15th volume of the series and falls in the middle of its run; the exact issues and story arcs collected should be confirmed against the actual edition rather than assumed here. For Chinese-language readers, this volume works best as a continuation for those who have already followed several earlier volumes and wish to keep up with the main New 52 Flash storyline.
Editor's review
对新52时期的闪电侠来说,“速度”不只是设定,更是一整套视觉语言。曼纳普与布切拉托组合最被称道的地方,是把神速力画成流动的电光与残影,翻页时几乎能感到画面在往前冲;大跨页与连环分镜的运用,让超级英雄漫画重新找回了“爽感”。这一时期的巴里·艾伦被写得更年轻、更贴近普通人的生活,他在警局的工作、与身边人的关系,都与“最快的人也有追不上的东西”这一母题相互映照。敌人方面,无赖帮的“讲规矩”与古鲁德军团的蛮横形成对照,逆闪电的阴影则始终悬在头顶,使系列在打斗之外保有悬念。需要提醒的是,本册属于连载中段,并非独立成篇的故事,人物关系和前情铺垫较重,随手翻开容易“掉线”。若你正在系统收集新52闪电侠,或在补完DC重启前后的闪电侠谱系,这一册可以作为主线链条中的一环纳入书架。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 正在系统收集DC“新52”时期《闪电侠》连载的读者
- 喜欢速度型超级英雄与高动感漫画分镜的漫迷
- 读过《闪点》后想继续跟进巴里·艾伦主线的读者
- 对DC漫画重启史与刊物编号体系感兴趣的收藏者
Not a good fit for
- 希望从零开始入门闪电侠、需要完整起源故事的读者
- 偏好单本完结、不依赖前后文情的独立故事读者

Reading tips
- 建议先读完本系列前若干册,理清无赖帮、古鲁德与逆闪电三条线索,再进入本册
- 阅读时留意大跨页与分镜排布的节奏,速度感多靠版式而非台词传达
- 可在读完后对照DC“新52”出版年表,标注本册在整体时间线中的位置
- 若对中文版卷次对应关系不确定,先核对封底收录期数,避免与英文原版卷号混淆
FAQ
“新52”是什么意思,和闪电侠有什么关系?
新52是DC漫画2011年《闪点》大事件后启动的重启计划,主世界刊物刊号全部清零、从第1期重新出版,《闪电侠》也随之重新开篇,主角仍为巴里·艾伦,但造型与部分设定经过重新设计。该计划持续到2016年“DC重生”为止。
这一册的英文版对应哪一卷?
DC英文版《The Flash》第15卷为《Finish Line》,收录第756—762期,属于约书亚·威廉森主笔时期,而非新52阶段。若你的中文版标注为“新52”,两者并非同一卷,务必核对封底收录期数。
没读过前面几册能直接看吗?
不太建议。本书是连载中段,人物关系、反派动机和神速力设定都建立在前文之上,直接阅读容易对不上因果。若时间有限,至少先了解巴里·艾伦的身份、无赖帮的立场与逆闪电的宿怨。
中文版一共引进了几册新52闪电侠?
据公开书目信息,世界图书出版公司引进的新52《闪电侠》中文版主要有《勇往直前》《匪帮来袭》《猩战》等册,数量有限且部分已不易购得。更高卷次是否有官方中文版,需以出版社实际书目为准。
