DC’s January 2019 Solicitations

DC has released the full complement of solicitations for January 2019, and here are all the ones relating to the Flash. It’ll be an interesting month for Flash fans, as there are four issues of The Flash solo series due out: three regular issues, plus an annual. There will also be two issues of Heroes In Crisis, and certainly the cover to #4 is notable for obvious reasons. And January is when the Young Justice series begins, which co-stars Impulse.

You can see the full list of solicits at CBR.

And when Godspeed immediately races off to attack Kid Flash Wallace West, Barry must hunt his former friend and check in on his fellow speedsters. What is Godspeed planning and what does he want with the rest of the Flash Family? Can Barry protect everyone after he couldn’t save Wally?

    Still have hope Wally isn’t really dead. I dunno. Heroes in Crisis is a real weird story. Not sure what to think. We’ll see…

      It is pretty weird. Things clearly aren’t as they seem, but whether there’s an outcome which makes Flash fans happy remains to be seen.
