DC has posted their full complement of solicitations for October 2025, and here is everything related to the Flash. It’s an interesting month: Simon Spurrier is off the solo Flash title, having ended his stint on the book with “Bad Moon Rising”. But the title continues, and in October it ties in with the new DC K.O. event. Plus, the villainous masterminds of the Absolute universe pool their resources together for their own benefit, which surely doesn’t bode well for young Wally West or the other heroes.
You can see the solicitations in their entirety at Adventures In Poor Taste.

Check it out at the link!
This series is just getting better by the issue. ABSOLUTE FLASH takes familiar names and places, and turns the entire old narrative on its ear. Long-time FLASH fans can enjoy all the Easter Eggs as they appear, and new fans have a fantastic story to follow. Wally has found his way to Iron Heights, but don’t worry. It’s not the Iron Heights you remember. And before this issue is over, you’ll find some more familiar names showing up in new and unusual ways. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
