Flash: Rebirth #6 Variant Cover (And Still Due Feb. 24!)

Over at The Source, DC has posted the variant cover for Flash: Rebirth #6 by Ethan Van Sciver.

More importantly, they’ve listed the release date…and it’s still February 24, 2010…just three weeks away!

We still haven’t seen the full standard cover yet. The one used in solicitations is clearly modified to hide the background and/or other characters. Most likely it’ll appear sometime in the next few weeks, when DC posts a preview of the issue.

HeroClix Flash Duo

Check this out!

WizK!ds has posted a “News Flash”…about a certain Scarlet Speedster. Or rather, a certain pair of Scarlet Speedsters.

Yes, the upcoming The Brave and The Bold expansion for DC HeroClix will include a Two Flashes figure featuring the team of Barry Allen and Wally West!

The link has a full write-up of the figure’s powers, a side view, and scans of the card and dial.

I’m guessing this piece has been in the works for a while now, since it looks like they have Wally’s previous costume. It’s hard to tell in the photos they’ve posted, but it looks like both masks have open eyes.

Thanks to @LegionOmnicom for the link!

Can You Solve the DC Challenge?

In the spirit of Crisis on Earth-Blog and the Super-Powers 25th Anniversary, over 20 blogs have gotten together to create…The DC Challenge.

The name comes from a 12-part miniseries that DC Comics produced in the 1980s, in which each issue had a new creative team that had to pick up from where the previous team left off, round-robin style. This DC Challenge is a set of games, puzzles and trivia questions linked across nearly two dozen super-hero blogs. Speed Force isn’t involved this time, but the Flash is well-represented by Crimson Lightning.

So, step up to the DC Challenge with The Flash at Crimson Lightning, or any of these characters:

Can you solve it?
