The CW has released the extended trailer for next week’s episode of The Flash, titled “King Shark”.
The show’s really having a blast with the whole Jaws schtick, so hopefully the episode itself will be a lot of fun!
Excited for another mini-crossover between The Flash and Arrow? What do you hope to see in the episode? Let us know your thoughts!
When we left the last episode of THE FLASH, Barry had been captured by Zoom on Earth-2 while Geomancer was literally tearing up the landscape on Earth-1. Time is running out for Barry to get away and for the “away” team of Barry, Cisco and Harry to return to Earth-1…but the bigger question is whether they will survive long enough to worry about that. That brings us to “Escape from Earth-2”, Episode 2.14 of THE FLASH!
SOME SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP
From DC’s May Solicitations:
THE FLASH #52
Written by ROBERT VENDITTI and VAN JENSEN
Art by JESUS MERINO
Cover by IVAN REIS and JOE PRADO
New 52 Tribute Variant cover by JESUS MERINO
On sale MAY 25 • 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US • RATED TThe Riddler has seized control of Central City. If The Flash moves, he’ll put everyone he loves in mortal danger. To save the city—and himself—he’ll need help from the unlikeliest of allies.
A few things come to mind in relation to recent rumors and hints from DC. We know that Van Jensen is leaving the book (no response yet from Venditti), though it was suggested that he was leaving after #51. It looks like #52 is his actual final issue.
Speaking of final issues, contrary to rumors that “Rebirth” might be another line-wide renumbering, none of DC’s main books is marked as “final issue” in the solicitations. That’s not proof of anything, of course, given that we know at least Starfire is ending (Conner and Palmiotti have said that they’ve wrapped up a 12-issue plan and the book is ending with it), and a lot of the summaries sound like they could be either finales or epilogues.
Then again, there are several miniseries that aren’t quite done, and Teen Titans #20 promises that a “game-changing epic begins.”
We still don’t know exactly what “Rebirth” — excuse me, #Rebirth — is, so even if it does turn out to be another reboot, relaunch or renumbering, it looks like it won’t be quite so hard a line as Flashpoint/New 52 or even Convergence/DC You.
Monitor Earth-Prime has scanned a full set of kids’ Valentines from the 1990 Flash TV show. They’re as full of puns as you’d expect, from “fast friends” to “speeding by” to “Let’s fast-forward together!”
The CW has released a multi-episode teaser (that is to say, it has scenes from several episodes) titled “Zoom’s Coming”. I think we’re supposed to get revelations about his identity within the next few weeks.
We also get our first look at new antagonist Trajectory (Allison Paige) in this trailer; she’s the woman in red.
More behind the jump.
The remaining series from the New 52 launch are coming up on issue #52, and DC Comics is celebrating with a set of variant covers homaging the #1 issues from the launch. Here’s Jesus Merino’s tribute to Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato’s cover to Flash #1:
