The only thing standing in his way – the Flash, or rather all the Flashes.

Metamorpho the Element Man #6 – Al Ewing, Writer; Steve Lieber, Artist; Lee Loughridge, ColoristRay: Al Ewing has always been a writer who does larger-than-life adventures, but none of his books have ever been as gleefully bizarre as this gonzo sci-fi tribute to the Silver Age. This is unfortunately the final issue (for now), but he’s saved the craziest for last.
