Summary
This volume is The Flash Vol. 2 #65, the final chapter of the four-part "The Flash: Year One — Born to Run" arc written by Mark Waid, titled "Running Scared... Dying Young!" The story unfolds through Wally West's recollections: he remembers his superhero origins as Kid Flash — his adolescent body could not withstand the Speed Force, his powers threatened his life, and he was forced to give up his heroic identity and say goodbye to his beloved Aunt Iris, returning to his parents' home in Blue Valley. The sting of no longer being able to serve as Kid Flash never healed, and the already strained relationship with his parents worsened. On a stormy night, Wally runs away from home; his father Rudy West is pinned by a falling tree while trying to save him, and a tornado closes in. To save his father, Wally pushes past his limits, cancels out the tornado, and unexpectedly resolves the problem of his powers endangering his body — more importantly, he truly understands what family means to him. This issue, together with #62–64, forms Wally West's post-Crisis origin story, the opening arc of Mark Waid's run on the series, and is collected in The Flash: Born to Run and The Flash by Mark Waid Vol. 1.
Editor's review
第65册是整个「生来奔跑」四章故事的收束篇，也是马克·韦德闪电侠时代的收尾与起点。这一册把镜头对准少年沃利最狼狈的时刻：能力会杀死自己，英雄梦被迫中止，家庭关系一触即溃。暴风雨之夜的那场救援，既是动作高潮，也是情感高潮——父亲被大树压住、龙卷风逼近，沃利在极限中突破，才真正学会「速度」意味着什么。格雷格·拉罗克的画风干净利落，配合小何塞·马尔桑的墨线，把九十年代DC的叙事节奏表现得相当扎实。对于想从源头理解沃利·韦斯特、理解后来「神速力」设定由来的读者，这一册是绕不开的一块拼图；单独阅读也能成立，但若能连着62—64册一起看，情绪会更完整。
