DC has released their full list of solicitations for August 2018, and here are all the ones relating to the Flash.

You can see the full complement of solicits at CBR.

    I’m still not used to how quickly even the big stories go these days with double-shipping. Flash War hasn’t even started and we already have solicitations for the next arc.

    Great to see the Waid/Ramos Impulse collection!

    Amused that DC is releasing “Titans Apart” and “Titans Together Forever” the same month.

    That’s… That isn’t Barry. I mean, I know what it says and I know why they’re doing that (they can’t spoil their big reveal) but consider:

    1) New-52 Barry’s outfit is basically pre-52 Wally’s (see #48 flashback with Jai and Irey);

    2) Barry’s been occasionally wearing his original pre-52 belt lately, there’s no way he’d stick with Wally’s belt what with the suggested bad blood between them (that’d be sociopathic, frankly);

    3) Barry is generally black & white in very specific ways, working with prior foes is much more of a Wally thing;

    4) Actually really look at the facial expression, there.

    I could definitely be wrong but I feel somewhat confident so I’m calling it now — that’s Wally. That’s the big twist they’ll be revealing.
