Digital “Flash 101″ Sale This Weekend

Category: Flash News — By Kelson @ 8:34 am

DC Comics has announced a “Flash 101″ sale on digital comics. All listed Flash titles will be only 99 cents for 48 hours starting August 13. They don’t say where, but I think it’s safe to assume it’s at ComiXology, because they’re DC’s exclusive online vendor at this point.

And they’ve added a lot more issues.

Up to this point, ComiXology has had everything from Flash: Rebirth onward. Over the last few days, readers have spotted early issues from Wally West’s series, the beginning of Impulse, and a few scattered issues from the Bronze Age. Check out the full list of titles on sale after the jump:

The 101 issued do include the entire Rebirth era, a number of classic Silver Age Barry Allen issues, the Trial of the Flash (though not the build-up, which you’ll have to get in the Showcase Presents…TPB for now), two major Wally West stories by Mark Waid, one by Grant Morrison & Mark Millar, and almost half of Geoff Johns’ Wally West run (with the curious omission of Crossfire)
