Hey Speed Readers,
Just wanted to let you all know (if you didn’t already) that DC Collectibles New 52 Flash is now available at the DC Collectibles website, Comic Book & Collectible Shops and various online dealers. Oddly enough DC Collectibles website is only taking preorders for October 31st, 2012 at the moment while the figure has already been released worldwide.

DC has released a preview of The Flash #0 on Facebook. The issue, retelling Barry Allen’s origin, arrives in stores on Wednesday.
DC has released the final covers for next week’s Zero issues over at The Source, including Francis Manapul’s the cover for The Flash #0 featuring the origin of Barry Allen.
This week’s digital backissues at ComiXology include Flash #56-57 and Impulse #17-18.
Flash #56-57 feature a classic murder mystery, as it’s revealed that the Golden Age villain, the Icicle, had a rather large (legitimate) fortune when he died, and his will left a large amount to…the Flash? Wally West and his friends visit the Makhent mansion for the reading of the well, and one of the other heirs is found murdered in the middle of a snowstorm.
Impulse #17-18 take a break from the seriousness of the Max Mercury flashback with a pair of done-in ones. First: Bart Allen teams up with Zatanna. Do you really need to know anything else? And second, what do hyperactive speedsters dream about? Bart is trapped in a series of virtual reality scenarios.
In addition to the solicitation and cover for issue #15, today brings a new interview with Flash scribes Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato at Comic Book Resources. Looking back at the past year on the title, which climaxed in last month’s Flash #12 and Flash Annual #1, the duo discuss the many-faced challenges of ushering in and keeping pace with the Fastest Man Alive.
