    WRITTEN BY GEOFF JOHNS; ART BY SCOTT KOLINS AND DOUG HAZLEWOOD; COVER BY KOLINS "Blitz," Part 1 of 4, leading up to THE FLASH #200! Professor Zoom returns in a story that reveals the secrets behind his origin! But what's his strange goal? It's not what you'd think! NOTE: The first part of the powerful four-part story "Blitz" has sold out at the publisher (less than a week after its release) and DC has no plans to go back to press on at this time. "I'm really excited that 'Blitz' is starting off so strong, but really the roller coaster has only gone over the first hill we haven't even hit the loops yet," says writer Geoff Johns. "I've said it before and I'll say it again: Issue #200 will change the world of the Flash and Zoom forever. We're just getting out of the gate here, and I'm glad so many are along for the ride." FC, 32 PG. $2.25 Cover price $2.25.
