DC’s October 2025 Solicitations

DC has posted their full complement of solicitations for October 2025, and here is everything related to the Flash. It’s an interesting month: Simon Spurrier is off the solo Flash title, having ended his stint on the book with “Bad Moon Rising”. But the title continues, and in October it ties in with the new DC K.O. event. Plus, the villainous masterminds of the Absolute universe pool their resources together for their own benefit, which surely doesn’t bode well for young Wally West or the other heroes.

You can see the solicitations in their entirety at Adventures In Poor Taste.
