DC has posted their full complement of solicitations for April 2024, and here are all the ones relating to the Flash. That month sees the debut of a William Messner-Loebs Flash Omnibus, a reprinted collection many people have wanted for a long time. It seems like it may be the first of two volumes. Plus, Speed Force and Wally West’s solo series continue that month, and there’s also a Flash annual as well.
