DC has just announced a couple of hardcovers at The Source, including the first collection from The Flash vol.3:
The Flash: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues HC
Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Francis Manapul*
In stores: February 2011
Collects THE FLASH #1-7 and material from The Flash Secret Files and Origins 2010
$19.99 US, 208 pages
What I find interesting is the length of the material collected. Six issues is a pretty typical story length these days, but it looks like the arc that just started may be seven issues — or it could be six followed by a one-shot, with the next big arc picking up with Flash #8.
*The blog post at the source actually lists two artists: Francis Manapul and Francis Manapul. I’m guessing they just exported the credits from a database through a template that expects a penciller and an inker.

Manapul doesn’t actually ink his work/have an inker on his work, doesn’t he? Isn’t it all watercolor?
You mean Manapul hasn’t cloned himself in an effort to speed up the process?

I suspect DC would be quite happy to clone Geoff Johns so that he can write more books.
