I'd have to pull out my Impulse books to tell you exactly which ones though. He was a part of the very good "Titans East" storyline in Teen Titans #43-46. From there he enacted his evil plans to kill Bart in the "Flash: The Fastest Man Alive" series which ran 13 issues(and was collected in two trades)and of course there is "Final Crisis: Rogues' Revenge".<br /><br />If you really want to read up on Inertia, I'd skip the early Impulse stuff and try to grab the Titans East story, the Fastest Man Alive trades and the Rogues' Revenge. I definitely enjoyed all of 'em.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-4052639056818698792009-10-02T15:32:23.388-04:002009-10-02T15:32:23.388-04:00I read the scans on the Pic site about how Wally r...I read the scans on the Pic site about how Wally reacted and froze Inertia in time, that was so awesome and powerful I felt like reading up on Inertia.

I won't even read any advanced solicits from DC or Marvel, because I don't want to know what's going to happen in a comic until I read it.<br /><br />Back during Final Crisis, I didn't watch any news channels or go online after FC #6 was released until I got my hands on that issue.
