The Flash and Deadman team up to stop The Miner – by killing him?
This is part two of a three-part arc that Brian Buccellato is writing solo after the end of the Manapul/Buccellato run. He mentions the Miner, a new character, in an interview last week.
Also: Steampunk Flash variant? I’m intrigued. We’ve featured an awesome steampunk Flash cosplay from 2011, as well as a set of custom action figures and a steamunk JLA cosplay group. I guess it depends on whether Chaykin goes for a neo-Victorian aesthetic or just random brass accessories.

Kid Flash’s true history and motivations are revealed as he goes to war with his former teammates in the future he plans to rule.
Wait, the future he plans to *rule*? If this were Impulse, it would be a pun and would make perfect sense, but in the New 52…?
JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000 #3

The Flash is defeated. Green Lantern is in the clutches of Locus, a psychotic teenaged girl with the powers of God. And Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have been banished to a planet wide penal colony!
Those covers are all amazing. Flash running up the building is great…
But that Rogues cover? GAWD why is that book not an ongoing? For a second I got excited thinking we were getting a New 52 incarnation of Double Down 🙁
I agree, with the way Brian is writing rogues they should get an ongoing. they’re such fun & relatable characters, the flash comics could center around them with Barry as a hero-antagonist and I would mind a bit … if Brian was writing.
I hope that even after Francis Manapul is gone that the Flash continues to be just as great. I’ve been really enjoying the series since the first issue.
