Robot 6 spotted the cover in, of all places, the Wall Street Journal’s article on DC Comics’ 52-issue sellout. The CBR blog notes that artist Greg Capullo (Batman) is also providing variant covers for Green Lantern #1, Justice League #3 and Action Comics #4.
The Flash #1 goes on sale tomorrow. The Flash #2 arrives on October 26.
I think I love that speedometer.
The Flash: Zero to OMG in .000000000001 seconds.
No chin strap!!! (fingers crossed)
As much as I agree with you on whether the chin strap should be there, I figure it’s just like the V-belt we saw on some of the variants for the last series: a design change that the guest artist missed.
I wondered if I was seeing things with that ‘OMG’…
Seriously? Does DC not produce posters anymore?
Say what you will about this relaunch, about it being Barry, but these cover shots are worthy of being posters. This image is splendid.
I guess I’m the only one who’s unimpressed. The excessive and oddly angled lightning effects are…unappealing, to me. His face looks too Jay Leno-inspired and the cool speedometer seems out-of-place, under his feet.
