Flash on Smallville This Week

Well, Impulse, anyway. Be sure to tune in to Smallville this week as Bart Allen (Kyle Gallner) returns for the season finale, “Doomsday.”

Bart previously appeared in the fourth-season episode, “Run,” for which he was billed as the Flash, and the sixth-season “Justice” (alongside Green Arrow, Cyborg, and Aquaman), where he was given the name Impulse. This time, Justice League members include Black Canary and Green Arrow.

On Friday, Ethan Van Sciver posted two covers to the Jinxworld Forums. One was the cover to Flash: Rebirth #5 which was also released through The Source. The other? Check it out:

Flash: Rebirth #3? Variant

EVS doesn’t say which issue the cover is for, but judging by the end of issue #2, it’s almost certainly the variant for Flash: Rebirth #3.

Update (May 11): DC has posted a slightly larger image at The Source, and confirmed that it’s the variant cover to Flash: Rebirth #3.

Flash: Rebirth #5 Cover Revealed

DC’s The Source spotlights seven August Covers, including the cover for Flash: Rebirth#5.

Flash: Rebirth #5

It’s the latest homage to the classic “Flash of Two Worlds” cover from Flash v.1 #123, the first meeting of Barry Allen and Jay Garrick — only this time it’s Barry Allen vs. the Black Flash, and the poor hapless construction worker has been crushed by the falling beam.

There are actually two visual references to this famous cover in Flash: Rebirth #1 as well — a parade float, and then a side view in Jay Garrick’s reminiscences.

Also of interest is the cover to Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape, in which it looks like Nemesis is running on the Cosmic Treadmill.

Edit: Does anyone else remember the Wonder Woman Plus Jesse Quick one-shot? In it, Savitar’s former acolyte, Christina, sought revenge against him by trying to “rob him of his victory” and pull him out of the speed force against his will.

Flash: Rebirth to be Extended?

Leave a reply

Flash: Rebirth artist Ethan Van Sciver has been answering questions over at the Green Lantern Corps Message Board, where he left this response to confusion about the length of Flash: Rebirth:

It was always going to be 5, but we’re probably going to add a 6th issue.

This actually would better explain the artist’s remarks that the series might not be done by September, but that it would be “a good thing.”
