When you’re the fastest hero around, it becomes second nature to outrun everything that tries to kill you. Mercenaries sent by your ex’s dad, extra-dimensional beings, and superpowered organized criminals just can’t keep up. However, Daniel Dos Santos is learning the hard way that not every problem can be left in the dust. When your own body starts attacking you, there’s no avoiding it!

Or do even superheroes have to face their own mortality?
