FLASH FACT: Central City’s greatest hero’s darkest secret will be exposed.

Thoughts: Flashpoint #1 suggests that Citizen Cold isn’t the perfect hero he claims to be, and in fact the police suspect him of murder.

Also, the Rogues on here, for those who might not be familiar with all of them, include Fallout and Tar Pit alongside more familiar faces like Trickster, Mirror Master and Weather Wizard.

In yesterday’s Newsarama interview, Geoff Johns revealed that he and Andy Kubert are almost finished with the final issue of Flashpoint, and that DC would be shipping both Flashpoint #4 and Flashpoint #5 in August. Today, DC released the solicitation for both issues on The Source, along with the cover for #4.

FLASH FACT: The war between the Amazons and the Atlantians has arrived. The battles between Diana of Themsycira and Emperor Aquaman will tear this world apart – unless The Flash can fix it!

DC is really pushing the “big changes ahead” theme, aren’t they?

Keep an eye on The Source today. DC’s releasing the solicits for all of August’s Flashpoint issues, one by one.

Flash #12 New Cover and Preview

11 Replies

DC has posted a one-page preview (yes, just one page) of this week’s The Flash #12, the final issue of the current series and of “The Road to Flashpoint.” They also confirm that Scott Kolins is the second artist joining Francis Manapul (not that there was much doubt), and released an entirely new Francis Manapul cover for the book. The variant cover is the Francis Portela cover released two weeks ago.

Barry Allen is having a tough time balancing his life. Not only is he faced with his job as a CSI, his family, and being a super hero, but he’s struggling with a past that still haunts him.

In the conclusion of THE FLASH (on sale tomorrow), written by superstar writer Geoff Johns and drawn by the amazing artists Scott Kolins and Francis Manapul, emotions are running high and Barry needs to make a change…fast.

THE ROAD TO FLASHPOINT storyline ends here and then everything you know will change in a Flash.

Flashpoint #1 Cover

The Aquaman Shrine posted this image of the full cover for Flashpoint #1, with full logo and credits.

Flashpoint #1 ships next week, along with Flash #12, the “final” issue of the series. (We’ll just have to see see how DC relaunches it afterward.) A preview will also appear in DC’s Green Lantern special for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday.

In related news, USA Today writes about Flashpoint, “Not the DC heroes you know,” interviewing Dan Didio, editor Eddie Berganza, artist Andy Kubert, and comics retailer Brian Hibbs. Kubert talks about redesigning Wonder Woman and Batman, and Didio talks about the way DC is trying to combat event fatigue.

New Variant Cover for Flash #10 by Ed Benes

DC has released a preview of this week’s issue, labeling it as the “Secret Origin of Hot Pursuit.” Although DC previously identified a piece by Yildiray Cinar as the variant cover for #10, the final version features a cover by Ed Benes which looks quite similar to the standard cover by Francis Manapul, minus the other Flashes.
