Warning! I will tell you all now that there are spoilers ahead, so if you're a Flash fan and have no idea what Full Throttle is about, all I'm going to say is pick it up.
Anyway, did anyone else really think that Bart Allen's tenure as the Flash would be so short? Full Throttle collects the last issues of Flash: The Fastest Man Alive before the title shifted back to it's old numbering with Wally West at the helm. Full Throttle picks up with Bart Allen relocating to Los Angeles to find himself as he is fully accepting his place as the new Flash, all of which comes shattering down when his old foe Inertia enlists all of the major old Flash rogues (Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Heat Wave; c'mon, you know the list) in a plot to rob Bart of his speed, and put an end to his new life as the Flash in the process. Marc Guggenheim (Wolverine, Blade) scripts a majority of the story here, in which Bart's life comes to a tragic, albeit very well done, end; and legendary Flash scribe Mark Waid provides the bookend in which Wally West returns seeking revenge, and sets up new adventures for the scarlet speedster. The various artwork, mainly by Tony Daniel and Ron Adrian, is quite good, and while I was actually enjoying seeing Bart Allen as the Flash (and as morbid as this may sound), it is good to have Wally back for the forseeable future at least. All in all, Full Throttle is worth picking up for Flash fans, as the events that transpire are a new and important part of the Flash mythos, and it's one of the best recent Flash stories you'll read that isn't written by Geoff Johns.
