DC has released their full list of solicitations for July 2018, and here all the ones relating to the Flash. As you can see, they’re surprisingly sparse: Wally West is apparently no longer in the Titans book, and there’s no issue of New Super-Man And The Justice League of China. But “Flash War” is continuing this month, and young Wally is in Teen Titans. Read on below, and you can see the full complement of solicits at Newsarama.

New plan of action: recruit a new Teen Titans. Kid Flash, Red Arrow and newbies Roundhouse, D’jinn and…wait, Lobo has a daughter? That’ll end well. And then build something in secret deep beneath the new Teen Titans HQ. Secret from his teammates, secret from even Batman. It’s a secret that will change the way you look at Robin forever!
