Variant cover by DARWYN COOKE
On sale DECEMBER 24 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED TBehold the all-new, all-murderous Flash!
I understand this is editorial or PR trying to avoid spoiling the end of the big epic story, but…may I just say this isn’t what I look for in a Flash comic? It’s also strikingly at odds with the gorgeously optimistic Darwyn Cooke variant:
Also, it’s odd to see the Future Flash on that cover, since I thought that story was wrapping up in Flash #36.
THE FLASH SEASON ZERO #3

On sale DECEMBER 3 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T • DIGITAL FIRSTThe origin of Mr. Bliss is revealed! What plans does this terrible telepath have for Central City? And what can The Flash do to stop him when he can’t even control his own mind?!
I have a feeling the “Future Flash” storyline still has some legs on it especially with “Flash 36” seemingly has Flash trapped in the past. I bet he’s the murderous Flash posing as “now” Flash (since he’s been shown to be willing to kill). It is too soon to jump to conclusions (unless, of course, you have a jump to conclusions mat).
He won’t stay “all-murderous”, doubt he’ll become some sort of villain. But I think it’s interesting when characters get pushed to the brink and put in situations they never imagined before. Plus, it’s very possible it’s just Future Flash in disguise.
For a very odd moment I thought that one pic was Barry racing the Mach 5 (Speed Racer.)
Sounds like Future Flash is basically a version of Walter West.
Ok, normally I can atleast guess what the cover is eluding to, but not this cover. Golden see though hands drawing some sort of energy from the future flash’s symbol (keep in mind “will a flash die?”). Does our current flash die with future flash taking his place, and future flash somehow fix the skewed timeline which produced the future flash to begin with..thus, nullifying a future flash to begin with?!?!?!?! Buckle up fans buckle up!
