Value Highlights
-
Publication Details: Released June 8, 2016, this one-shot bridges DC Universe: Rebirth and The Flash Vol. 5 #1, reintroducing Barry Allen post-New 52 and teasing Godspeed’s debut (fully realized in The Flash #3). It’s a critical kickoff to the Rebirth relaunch.
-
Key Moments: Barry navigates a shifting DCU, with a Speed Force storm on the horizon and a one-panel Godspeed cameo sparking intrigue. It’s a concise, high-stakes setup that ties into Wally West’s return and Reverse-Flash’s looming threat.
-
Condition and Pricing: As of March 2025, raw near-mint (NM) copies range from $5–$10 on platforms like eBay and MyComicShop, reflecting strong demand for Rebirth one-shots. CGC 9.8 graded copies fetch $30–$50, with premiums for slabs tied to its foundational role.
-
Creative Team: Joshua Williamson’s punchy script, paired with Carmine Di Giandomenico’s sleek art and Karl Kerschl’s iconic cover, delivers a fast-paced entry that sets the tone for The Flash Vol. 5’s acclaimed run.
Market Trends
-
Rebirth Launch Fever: DC’s 2016 Rebirth relaunch remains a collector cornerstone, with one-shots like this driving value as entry points. The Flash Rebirth #1 has seen a 10–15% value uptick since 2024, fueled by its tie to the broader Rebirth narrative.
-
Godspeed Speculation: The Godspeed cameo (though not his full debut) adds speculative appeal, with his popularity from The Flash Vol. 5 #3 and CW teases boosting interest. A 5–10% value bump could hit if Godspeed resurfaces in 2025 media or comics.
-
Flash Franchise Power: Barry Allen’s starring role in comics and the CW’s The Flash series keeps his Rebirth issues hot. This one-shot’s connection to Wally West’s return and the Speed Force storm storyline enhances its long-term potential.
-
Condition Premium: NM and graded copies outperform lower grades, with Rebirth one-shots prized for preservation. Its status as a standalone launch issue keeps it in steady demand among completists.
Strike now with The Flash Vol. 5 #1 Rebirth One-Shot—a lightning-charged gateway to Barry Allen’s Rebirth saga! With its Godspeed tease, stellar art, and rising market buzz, this comic is a speedster’s dream for your 2025 collection—don’t let it flash by!
