After the devastating loss of his mentor, Barry Allen, former sidekick Wally West must take up his idol's mantle as the Scarlet Speedster! But at only 20 years old, is Wally ready to drop the Kid and be the world's one and only Flash?

In his first year as the Flash, Wally must face the immortal super-villain Vandal Savage, tech terror Kilg%re, human black hole Chunk, and more, all while fearing he's not living up to his new title. Plus, a new speed-enhancing drug triggers a spree of super-speed robberies--but how can Wally stop the spread of Velocity 9 when all of his enemies are now just as fast as he is?

Writers Mike Baron (Nexus) and William Messner-Loebs (Wonder Woman) and artist Jackson Guice (Birds of Prey) kick off the adventures of Wally West as the Flash for the first time. The Flash: Savage Velocity collects stories from Flash #1-18 and Flash Annual #1.
