Speedy superhero The Flash--or Barry Allen, as he's known to his supportive team of friends--faces magical mind-control (Hocus Pocus) and a backwards, Multiverse version of our world (Johnny Quick). The appropriately fast-paced series relies on classic superhero action while integrating some science concepts. These novel spin-offs of TV's The Flash should appeal to both casual readers and hardcore fans of the new DC canon. Review covers these titles: The Flash: Hocus Pocus and The Flash: Johnny Quick.
