The Flash Issue 3

The Flash comes across his first super-powered enemy. A new journalist arrives in Central City.

Synopsis
It has been almost a month since The Flash's first sighting and Barry has been working since then trying to do as much good as he can with the help of Reed, who also created a fan-page/blog for The Flash to help raise awareness for the new Hero.

Lois Lane, a young journalist from New York tries to get a job at Picture News, but is turned down by Henry Evans - the chief editor. Lois sets out to prove she is worth the job.

Barry arrives at a robbery in Eaglewood and comes face to face with a drifter. Barry tries to stop him but is met by the man's strong bone like nails which cut Barry's leg. The man escapes, being shot several times, but not paying much mind.

Reed suggests that Barry's speed should give him the edge and suggests tiring the other man out, also suggesting he might be hiding out in New Brighton. Barry goes to investigate. Lois also gets word of the showdown and steals a police radio while chasing the story.

Barry moves in and fights the man in a run-down warehouse. Barry is able to throw a number of heavy weights at the man, finally forcing him off balance to fall through the floor, allowing Barry to knock him unconscious. Unbeknownst to him, Lois takes pictures of the fight.

Lois gives the pictures to Henry, and not only gets a job but also the front cover for her article "The Flash vs Sabretooth".
