  • All-new digital adventures in print for the first time!
  • In order to face Bart’s demons, Superman and Impulse confront a reluctant ally: the JSA’s Jay Garrick!

This marks the third print issue in a row to feature Impulse. I’m not 100% certain, but I believe the digital issues that will be collected in #9 should be hitting ComiXology this month.

A Glimpse of Impulse in Smallville: Season 11 #10

Impulse on the cover of Smallville Season 11 #10 by Scott KolinsWho’s that speedster on the cover of Smallville: Season 11 #10? Last month we got a hint that the Flash/Impulse would be returning to Smallville in January’s print issues (which I think line up with December’s digital issues). The text about an “old friend” was vague, and the figure running past Superman was blacked out so that we couldn’t see who he was, but the implication is clear.

DC’s February solicitations are out, teasing a story about “speed storms,” with a cover full of lightning and…what’s that? Someone moving at super-speed behind Clark!

Here’s a glimpse of Bart Allen’s new look for the Smallville digital-first comic book. What we can see of the outfit looks to be inspired more by Impulse than the Flash, though for some reason he seems to have died his hair blond.
