Absolute Flash #17 Introduces New Powers and Crossover Event

Absolute Flash #17 is bringing some serious changes to the table, with Jeff Lemire and artist Haining rolling out new powers and a fresh character name for the Flash in this universe. A new crossover is also being teased, which suggests DC's Absolute line is starting to interconnect in interesting ways. The issue apparently has some spoiler-worthy moments that'll shake up how fans see this version of the character going forward. For what it's worth, the Absolute line continues to be one of DC's most ambitious modernizations.
