The Flash by Joshua Williamson Omnibus Vol. 1

Superstar writer Joshua Williamson, along with artists Carmine Di Giandomenico and Howard Porter, sends Barry Allen--a.k.a. the Flash--on some of the wildest adventures of the modern age in this series spinning out of the DC Rebirth event.

In a changed DC Universe, the Flash must face off against threats like he's never encountered before. His legendary Rogues Gallery of villains--Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, and Heat Wave--have new surprises in store for him, while enemies old and new threaten at every turn.

This first volume in a new omnibus series collects The Flash: Rebirth #1, The Flash #1-35, Batman #21-22, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32, Justice League #32-33, and a story from DC Holiday Special 2017 #1 and features an introduction from Williamson and dozens of pages of behind-the scenes development art.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
