Then, in Flash vol. 4 #25, by Francis Manapul, Brian Buccellato, Chris Sprouse, Karl Story, Keith Champagne, Carlos M. Mangual, Brian Cunningham, Harvey Richards, and Will Moss. In "Starting Line," Barry Allen, before he became the Flash, comes to Gotham as a rookie cop from Central City eager to help out with the growing crisis of Zero Year. Teaming up with Harvey, Barry must confront a new drug sweeping the city that gives people superpowers - a sinister substance called Icarus!
After that, we turn to Green Arrow vol. 5 #25, by Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, Marcelo Maiolo, Rob Leigh, Cunningham, Moss, and Richards. "The Prodigal" features Oliver Queen returning to America after years stranded on an island.
