Artist Stanley “Artgerm” Lau has posted the art for his Flash #8 variant cover featuring the Flash vs. the Reverse Flash. The Flash #8 focuses on the scarlet speedster’s nemesis, and is scheduled to arrive in stores on December 8.
Oddly enough, I don’t think I’ve seen the Flash #7 variant anywhere. We’re missing one…
(Thanks to @SpeedsterSite for spotting this!)
Karl Kerschl (The Flash in Wednesday Comics) has posted the artwork from his upcoming Teen Titans #90 variant cover, focusing on a certain yellow-clad teen speedster. Click through to the artist’s blog for a larger view.
Last week, web cartoonist David Willis posted the final design for a statue of Robin DeSanto, the sugar-powered hyperactive speedster from It’s Walky! and Shortpacked!
Robin initially used her super-powers in a top-secret alien-fighting squad (the main story of It’s Walky!). In the years since the alien invasion was thwarted, she has become a simple retail clerk at a toy store (Shortpacked!)…when she’s not moonlighting as a United States Congresswoman.
The statue is available for pre-order now.
And the Dragon*Con costume photos continue! After the first set, here’s a round-up of more Flashes (and one other speedster) spotted on Flickr.
Stephen Lesnik caught the beginning of a Superman/Flash Race:
But wait, something’s missing. What else does every Superman/Flash race need? Read the rest of this entry »
In addition to Flash #10, here are a few other items spotted on DC’s January solicitations:
Flash guest-stars in Batman: The Brave and the Bold #3
Kid Flash guest-stars in Superboy #3.
Young Justice #0 launches, starring the young heroes of the new cartoon series (in DC continuity as Earth-16).
Jay Garrick is front and center on the Justice Society of America cover.
Flash is front and center on the Super Friends cover.
Kid Flash & Jesse Quick continue to appear in Teen Titans and Justice League of America.
And then there’s this:

There are a couple of changes coming up that are going to impact my blogging activity.
The first is that I’m starting a new job on Monday. I’ll be focused on getting up to speed (pun not intended), and the longer commute will leave me with less free time. And depending on their policy on personal internet use, I probably won’t be checking comics news on my breaks.
As for the second change, I’ve mentioned my wife from time to time, such as our Comic-Con costumes, her homemade Flash cupcakes, etc. I’ve been keeping quiet about something…well, here’s a recent photo: Read the rest of this entry »
I received an odd email yesterday on the webmaster account for Hyperborea.org:
My name is [removed] and i will like to purchase one of your product in your company. I need to order a Tread Mill and i wanted to know the price for one then i will be able to know the number i can order. You can also email me back with your website for me to choose from the one that suite my requirement. I will be hoping to hear from you soon.
It took me a second to realize it wasn’t just ordinary nonsense spam, but probably triggered by a search matching the writeup on the Cosmic Treadmill, the Flash’s time travel (and dimension travel) device!
Sorry, I don’t have one of those for sale…
Sorry this is a bit late, but for those who don’t already know DC Direct showed off pics of a slick White Lantern Barry Allen last week at New York Comic-Con 2010:

My first impression of it was “Wally West!” and then I quickly remembered that Wally had nothing to do with Brightest Day and that we haven’t even really seen him (except for the one-off appearances in Magog and Secret Origins) since Flash Rebirth ended. My reaction obviously had to do with the belt and the way it’s been designed.
Brightest Day solicitations are up at The Source, including…
