There's more to DC's new Absolute Universe than just the big three of Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman. 

At DC's Absolute Power panel here at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, a new Absolute Flash ongoing series was announced. Sweet Tooth's Jeff Lemire is writing the series, with the amazing Nick Robles set as the primary artist.

Back in 2007, Lemire wrote of the Flash on his blog, saying "When I think of the Silver Age I always think immediately of The Flash by Infantino. To me no other stories better epitomize that great blend of sci-fi and super-heroics of the 50's and 60's. And The Flash's costume design is hands down the best ever...simple, iconic and bright!"

DC's Absolute Universe is an Ultimate style take on DC's heroes, with the characters you love but without the decades of continuity and stories - offering creators a new platform to explore these characters.
