DOOM has gripped the Earth, and the Book Club Bois have trekked through the snowy streets of Central City to discuss Volume 13 of THE FLASH REBIRTH!

As the world finds itself under the control of Apex Lex and Perpetua, Central City has only one master: Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold. Now calling himself KING Cold, Snart rules over the city and its inhabitants with an iron fist – but a rebellion is stirring.
