The Flash #76 will hit stores from DC Comics next week, by Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter, kicking off the new story arc, Death of the Speed Force. And over the next few days, DC Comics will provide EX-X-XCLUSIVE previews of The Flash and all their other comics to compliant media partner websites. Bleeding Cool, unfortunately, is neither compliant nor a partner. Some might argue we're hardly even media.

But we do have 3 pages from The Flash #76 ahead of its EX-X-XCLUSIVE debut, courtesy of a Mysterious Benefactor, in which we find the titular Flash back in the present after his Year One storyline, speeding around the globe to join a battle in progress in Central City…

It seems The Flash is determined to bring hope back to the world…

But pride goeth before a fall, and we know DC is planning to kill off the very force that gives all these Flashes their power… it's right in the title of the story.

The Flash #76 is in stores next Wednesday.

"Death of the Speed Force" begins! With renewed resolve following the events of "The Flash Year One," the Flash is back with a new mission, a new outlook and a brand-new speedster HQ. But the Fastest Man Alive is slowing down-and there's only one explanation: the Speed Force is dying. Plus, the Year of the Villain heats up as Captain Cold uses Lex Luthor's offer to boost Heat Wave to the next level!
