DC has posted their full complement of solicitations for October 2026, and here is everything related to the Flash. It’s a fairly low-key month for the Flash side of the universe, but DC is introducing several new series such as The Demon and Jonah Hex for those who are interested. Plus, North and Guidry’s Flash series and Lemire’s Absolute Flash continue with new issues.
You can see the solicitations in their entirety at Adventures In Poor Taste.

Somehow, Wally West’s visions of the future failed to foresee the destruction of three separate bridges in three separate cities, but he’s determined not to let this interfere with the good work he’s doing.
But the rest of the League is less interested in letting him experiment on such a scale, especially when the costs are so high and people are getting hurt. But the Flash still wants to do good and doesn’t see a setback as a reason to abandon the entire thing. And besides, there’s not much anyone can do to stop the Flash…

It’s the dawn of a new age. Superheroes—like Superman in Metropolis and Gotham’s mysterious Batman—are new and frightening to the world at large. But when a series of strange attacks unleashes an otherworldly threat on Earth, these heroes will have to stand together…if they can stand each other!
Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. Green Lantern. The Flash. Aquaman. Cyborg. Though young and inexperienced, brash and overconfident, each one alone is a powerful force in the battle of good against evil. Together, they may be the only thing on Earth that can stop the alien warlord Darkseid from claiming our planet as his own. Together…they will become the Justice League!
Justice League: Origin (collecting Justice League #1-6) unites superstar creators Geoff Johns (Green Lantern) and Jim Lee (Batman: Hush) to deliver the most talked-about comic book of the new millennium…and reimagine the DC Universe as never before!
This is one of the most fun issues of THE FLASH I’ve read in a while – and given the current volume by Ryan North, that’s really saying something. There are definite hints of the Wally West we’ve seen in the JLU cartoons (and that’s a very good thing). But beneath all of that, there is a more serious notion that I think we’ll continue to see develop over the coming issues. Can a hero really save everyone, all the time? This old fan who has been reading THE FLASH for over 60 years is absolutely enjoying this storyline – so let’s talk about it. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
I’ve been reading comics for over 60 years (and yes, I am really that old)…but I don’t know that I have EVER been affected as much as I was at the end of this issue. This ending hit me where I live. No, I’m not going to spoil the ending – only mild spoilers for you today. But if you wanna know a little more? Follow us after the jump!
Ryan North continues this volume of THE FLASH by exploring Wally’s new “Flashes of Insight”. This time, Wally predicts…an invasion by Grodd! How will this new ability help? How does it work in the first place? And can anything stop Grodd when he is ready to fight? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
