This Week: Flash #44, Season One DVD/Blu-Ray, Flashback Secrets

Flash #44 is out in stores today, continuing the story of Professor Zoom and his time-spanning team as they prepare to utterly destroy the Flash. Preview at Newsarama.

Season One of the new Flash TV series came out on DVD and Blu-Ray yesterday.

DC Comics’ digital backlist has added two more Flash comics from the 1970s:

Flash #204: Iris Allen finds herself compelled to reveal the Justice League’s secrets.

Flash #205: contains reprints of older stories, including the first appearance of Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash — a lost Jay Garrick adventure, “Journey into Danger” — Kid Flash in “Race to Thunder Hill” — and Johnny Quick in “Too Many Speed Kings.”

Flash Becomes the Black Racer in Justice League: Darkseid War

Newsarama has the scoop: the six Darkseid War tie-ins originally titled Justice League: Gods and Men are being renamed as Justice League: Darkseid War, which not only makes more sense, but is harder to confuse with Justice League: Gods and Monsters.

They also posted this piece by Jason Fabok from the upcoming Justice League #44, revealing just what the Flash will look like when he becomes a New God – specifically the Black Racer, avatar of death.

Update: The book is now scheduled for November 5.

Flash vs. a metahuman circus
King Shark vs. the Suicide Squad

…and several shorter stories, including a look back at how Captain Cold and Heat Wave first met, a nightmare out of Caitlin Snow’s past, a guest spot by Felicity Smoak, and a story in which Caitlin and Cisco deal with fallout from one of her old mentors.

This week’s digital flashbacks from the early 1970s include:

Flash #202 – Iris’ reporting gets her into trouble with a cult.

Flash #203 – Iris returns to her home era in the distant future. Wait, you didn’t think she was from the present, did you?
