QUOTE:
"If you think you're going to make me do all the paperwork, forget it. You
know how many extra forms they're making us do on these metahuman cases? Ten
alone on Tar Pit. I studied to be a homicide detective, not get involved with
superhero lowlifes. No offense, Flash." —Detective Jared Morillo |

SUMMARY: After leaving a Central City playhouse one quiet
evening, Connie Noleski and fiancé Chester Runk — the human black hole
known as Chunk, and a longtime friend of Wally West — are mugged on the
street by a pair of ill-fated thugs. As Chunk uses his internalized
singularity to immediately dispense with the robbers' guns, however, a
shot is fired from far away by an unseen sniper. The Chunk is hit, and
the bullet exposes his singularity to the outside world. At an
ever-increasing rate, the entire city is being sucked inside of Chunk's
body! The Flash is soon summoned by a helpless Central City Police
Department, but can even the fastest man alive restore Chunk's
singularity to stability and save reality from collapse? Even as part of
Central City is being destroyed, the Mirror Master is appearing
ominously to his fellow Rogues in a variety of reflective surfaces,
making connections and laying out long-term plans. Though Wally West
does not suspect it, Chunk is just the latest of his friends to become a
target. The Rogues are eliminating the Flash's allies one by one, but
who is the mysterious figure responsible for these elaborate
machinations?
