There’s no episode of The Flash next week, but these two clips may tide you over for now. They’re both extremely spoilery, especially if you haven’t watched tonight’s episode yet. Be sure to watch that first.
More behind the jump.
Flash: A Celebration of 75 Years arrives in stores on Wednesday. The $40, 480-page hardcover* collection features stories of all the major Flashes, from Jay Garrick to Barry Allen to Wally West to Bart Allen and back to Barry again, from the Golden Age through the New 52.
We looked at the stories included a few weeks ago — feel free to check out the list, our commentary, and join in on the discussion.
Update: To clear up a little confusion that came up on the Facebook thread, the book ships to comic stores this Wednesday. Bookstores get new releases on Tuesdays, so Amazon and other stores that get it on the bookstore schedule will have it next Tuesday.
*DC’s website says softcover, but Previews World and Amazon both say hardcover, and given the page count, I’m inclined to believe the latter until I see a copy.
This week marks the return of Mark Hamill as the Trickster in The Flash series, and the CW has a sneak peek at the episode with commentary by showrunner Andrew Kreisberg. There are spoilers, naturally.

Spoilers behind the jump.
Among DC’s Joker variant covers for June, including Flash #41 by Eddy Barrows and Marcelo Maiolo.
This issue is titled, “The End of the Road”…but while the Future Flash story line IS wrapped up here we get some major developments that begin a whole new chapter in the life of Barry Allen. This is an issue you WILL want to read more than once, one of the best issues in the Venditti-Jensen-Booth era of our favorite speedster!
SOME SPOILERS AHEAD
The CW has released the official synopsis for the episode to air on April 14th, titled “All Star Team Up” (there’ll be a one-week break between “Tricksters” and this episode).
“All Star Team Up” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)
ARROW’S FELICITY SMOAK (EMILY BETT RICKARDS) AND RAY PALMER (BRANDON ROUTH) ARRIVE IN CENTRAL CITY; EMILY KINNEY (“The Walking Dead”) GUETS STARS AS BRIE LARVIN — Barry (Grant Gustin) is surprised when Felicity Smoak (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) arrives from Starling City along with her boyfriend, Ray Palmer (guest star Brandon Routh), who flies in as the Atom. They’ve come to visit S.T.A.R. Labs as Ray needs help with his suit. Their timing turns out to be fortuitous because it’s all hands on deck after a meta human named Brie Larvin (guest star Emily Kinney) unleashes hundreds of robotic bees to attack and kill her former co-workers, including Dr. Tina McGee (guest star Amanda Pays). A group dinner with Barry, Felicity, Ray, Iris (Candice Patton) and Eddie (Rick Cosnett) turns into a disaster. Kevin Tancharoen directed the episode written by Grainne Godfree & Kai Yu Wu (#118). Original airdate 4/14/2015
Seeing a Rule 63 version of the Bug-Eyed Bandit will definitely be something. It’ll be interesting to see how it’s done.
