No, it’s not your imagination. It’s only been two weeks since the last Flash comic book, and here we have another one! Blackest Night: The Flash is starting before Flash: Rebirth finishes.

I’ve gotten conflicting information about whether new comics are arriving on Wednesday as usual or on Thursday due to last week’s holiday. DC’s website and whoever answered the phone at my local comic shop on Monday said December 2. IGN’s Blackest Night: Flash preview lists December 3…as does Diamond’s shipping list. If it is Thursday, it’s going to cut into my review-writing time. Wednesday night is clear. Thursday night, it looks like stuff might finally happen in FlashForward.

Anyway, onto the comics!

Blackest Night: The Flash #1 of 3

Written by Geoff Johns
Art and cover by Scott Kolins
Variant cover by Francis Manapul

The Flashes of Two Cities – Barry Allen and Wally West – battle the undead Rogues. Will the legendary speedsters be able to handle the Black Lantern Rogues’ revenge?

Plus, witness the resurrection of Barry’s greatest enemy, the Reverse Flash in this hyper-speed miniseries event reuniting the fan-favorite Flash creative team of Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins!

This issue will ship with two covers. For every 25 copies of the Standard Edition (with a cover by Scott Kolins), retailers may order one copy of the Variant Edition (with a cover by Francis Manapul).
