Reprinting Flash: #183-191, Flash Secret Files

So the rogues have this huge network, an underground society that arms crooks, buy, sell and trading goes on, and the flash never knew, now the crap hits the fan, it's outed, the rogues are gunning for him like never before, an army of crooks, but that's not all, there is an old villain named goldface who has reformed and now runs a union in town, but is he really on the up and up? what's his connection to the underground network and their evil leader?

then the city across the bridge is infected by a living computer who plans to turn the world into his slaves, and caught in the middle? the flash can he save two cities, stop all hell from breaking loose on the world and save his wife and family?

Johns does yet again a great job with the writing, even the little characters like the cops gets you on the edge of your seat and you might even say "hey give me more of the cops" when they switch back to the flash, and all the villains are fleshed out, even the union leader is great, so many characters, and you still love them all, and none are wasted, none are just props.

if you love flash or just want a great story then get this, and the other geoff johns flash trades

This is one I can read over and over. Might help if you read the previous volumes. This is the book that got me hooked on Geoff Jones work.

Goeff Johns does more amazing work with the Flash! One of the best long running comincs in a long time, and this volume doesn't disappoint on any level. The art is cool/fantastic, the Rogues are better than ever, and Wally West grows up. Get all the Volumes of the life of Wally West-Flash III, and you'll probably never think of comics as just comics again.

A reasonably long trade, compiling 9 issues. The major storyline being that what everyone thought was a two way war for Keystone between Blacksmith, her Network, and the Rogues, versus The Flash, his allies and the police, is really three.

A new force, the Thinker, has turned up, and wants to use all of Keystone City in his own processing machine.

After this is over, James Jesse starts doing a little Rogue recruiting for the FBI, as does Captain Cold, for his own purposes.
