The Flash Giant (Volume 1) with a cover date of October, 2019. It was published on August 18, 2019.
Synopsis for "Fatal Finale"
The Flash states how despite his quick speed, he rarely ever gets a handle on what he plans to do, being late for both work and date. Similarly, he took too long to find out who was making the Rogues to attack him. Amazo kept him busy while he stole technology and abducted scientists, in addition to making android replicates of the Rogues. The only ally help he has now is the Weather Wizard, but isn't sure if he can count on him. Barry asks him if he's still going to him, but Mardon thinks it's best to stay out given how much the odds have turned against them.
Amazon stands back up and initially speaks in gibberish, but soon starts talking properly again and orders the androids to attack. Flash tells Mardon to stay behind him for his own good and starts remembering his school days, when he was constantly bullied and was poor at sports. He instead started devoting himself more to his studies and he determined that he won't ever let anyone else get bullied. As he evades the attacks of the android Rogues, Flash tells the Wizard to get all the scientists out and assures he has the capability to succeed.
As Flash is attacked by the androids, Mardon tells all the scientists that he's going to use a storm cloud to help them escape. Barry meanwhile finds that the androids are too fast and powerful for him to simply keep evading, realizing he needs another plan. After he is knocked to the ground by the Golden Glider android, he is told by Amazo that all of the robots were created so he may survive forever. Amazo knew only Flash could stop him, which is why he had the Rogues keep him busy while he appropriated their technology. He also lets him on to something no one else knows, he desires the eradication of humanity as he doesn't need them.
As Amazo gloats about the androids finding him if even he tried to flee, since they can track his speed, Barry uses this information to hatch a new plan and makes the androids accidentally hit each other while trying to hit him. The robots keep firing despite Amazo telling them to stand down and he grows despondent since Barry is destroying his key to eternity. All of the androids destroy each other while trying to attack the Flash, who states that every human deserves to live a happy life no matter who they are. Mardon soon returns and states he wanted to help fight against the androids after getting the scientists out.
Flash tells the Wizard that he still might become a good person someday, even if he himself may not believe so. Deciding to be positive about the future, Flash talks to Detective Ulski the next day and states that despite them disliking each other, they can still have mutual respect. He also states that his dad may be a convict, but he's shown determination of making his life better. Ulski realizes he may have been somewhat ignorantly harsh on him and commends him for his approach towards him. He realizes what he said about his father is true, since he helped him against Amazo regardless of any risk to his life, and goes to meet him in Iron Heights on his birthday.
Barry later decides to try to have another date with iris but this time, it's she who is late. Telling her to not worry about it, he hands her a bouquet of rises and states she doesn't come across as someone into candies and toys. Iris states she likes them and she'll understand if he only wants a quick bite, but Barry states it's better to instead just do things slow for now.

Synopsis for "Planet Heist, Part Seven"
This story is reprinted from Adam Strange (Volume 2) #7.
Adam Strange is reunited with his family, having at last found Rann. Sardath explains the mystery behind the planet's disappearance to Strange, the Omega Men and Vril Dox. After creating the Omega-Beam, Sardath realized how a resurrected Starbreaker might use it to destroy the universe. He decided to fake the destruction of Rann in order to hide the technology from Starbreaker and Sh'ri Valkyr. There wasn't time to tell Strange what was happening, and they were afraid that he was being watched by the Thanagarians.
At that moment, Valkyr's ship Zeta-beams in and begins to attack while Luciphage begins to consume Rann's stars for energy. Vril Dox beams himself off Rann, leaving the others behind to fight alone. They realize that they can trap Luciphage in this universe if they beam Rann out of it, but first they have to destroy the zeta-beam on Valkyr's ship.

Synopsis for "Planet Heist, Conclusion"
This story is reprinted from Adam Strange (Volume 2) #8.
Adam Strange and the Omega Men are battling the forces of Starbreaker and Sh'ri Valkyr. Vril Dox returns with a L.E.G.I.O.N. assault fleet and the intergalactic lawmen the Darkstars. Strange manages to destroy the Thanagarian battle cruiser and its zeta beam, while the Darkstars engage Starbreaker. The Rannians are preparing to use the Omega-Beam to teleport their planet, but Sh'ri Valkyr takes Alanna Strange hostage. In the ensuing scuffle, Valkyr manages to change the coordinates of where Rann is being sent before Alanna shoots and kills her. The Darkstars are all killed but they succeed in distracting Starbreaker long enough for the Omega-Beam to teleport Rann elsewhere, leaving the being stranded.
Rann arrives in the Polaris system. Valkyr teleported the planet there hoping the appearance would spark a war between Rann and Thanagar. A grenade that Valkyr drops as she dies destroys the Omega-Beam, leaving Rann stranded in its new location. The new planet's presence destabilizes the orbit of Thanagar, putting it on a trajectory towards the sun. The group prepares to help rescue as many Thanagarians as they can.
