Right now I am reading The Flash: Rebirth (2016). The events take place after the result of the DC universe reboot, this is a way DC restarts their universe and all their heroes.

Barry Allen is a CSI at the Central City Police department – the CCPD – but he also is the bearer of a great secret, he is the Flash. The Flash can harness a power called the speed force, this allows him to move at a much faster rate than anything else. Because of his speed he regenerates faster than usual and ages slower. He is the only speedster alive until an explosion happens at the place the speed force can be contained. The explosion causes many people to be able to harness the speed force and Barry must try to stop some of these people going rogue.

However not all comply with Barry, one of these goes by the name of Godspeed. Barry must overcome this evil speedster but this time he may not be fast enough.
