For those of you who haven’t been following, Convergence is a two-month event in which fragments of various DC eras and alternate realities have been thrown together by Braniac. The whole DC line is going on hiatus for two months, to be replaced temporarily with two-parters focusing on some of these realities, such as this one set in the pre-Flashpoint DC Universe.
DC doesn’t appear to be rebooting after Convergence, but they are retooling their line. 25 ongoing series are picking up in June right where they left off, including The Flash, while DC launches 24 new series including solo books for Midnighter, Black Canary, Cyborg and Starfire, retooled Justice League of America and Constantine: Hellblazer, and a lot more.
Episode 113 may be titled, “The Nuclear Man,” but there are other story threads that also take significant steps forward in one of the stronger episodes of this excellent series. More after the jump…
SOME SPOILERS AHEAD
Here’s the twenty-second trailer for next week’s Flash episode, titled “Fallout”. It’s obviously pretty spoilery, particularly if you haven’t watched tonight’s episode yet. Even the still image on the video is spoilery, so it’s all behind a jump.
Firestorm appears on tonight’s episode of the Flash TV series, “The Nuclear Man.” Preview here.
King Shark menaces Central City in the latest chapter of the digital comic book Flash Season Zero, released on Monday.
Two more Silver Age back-issues arrive in DC’s digital catalog on Wednesday: Flash #141 and Flash #142, featuring the Top in “The Mystery of the Flash’s Third Identity” (the first appearance of the Rogues’ tailor, Paul Gambi) and the Trickster in “The Perilous Pursuit of the Trickster.” (Hey, you didn’t think it was going to be Captain Cold in that title, right?)
The CW posted some clips from this week’s Flash episode “The Nuclear Man”, along with some commentary from showrunner Andrew Kreisberg. They give a few details of what we’ll see in the episode, so consider it spoilery.
