DC has posted their full complement of solicitations for December 2022, and here are all the ones relating to the Flash. There are two issues of the Flash solo series listed this month, although the second is actually due out in early January. And a couple of issues solicited last month are in the same boat: though listed in the November solicits, they are due out in December and appear here as well. It’s not clear why DC is doing this. Plus, December sees the finale of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.
You can see the solicitations in full at Newsarama.
