Today TeeFury has two Flash-themed designs available.
Central City Running Club by alecxpstees seems to be a lot more popular than Speed by PandaBacon. Only about 5 hours left as of this writing — if you want one, hurry over to TeeFury.
Hat tip to the Fastest Fan Alive!
The podcast Flash TV Talk is running a fan contest. Read on for more details:
While we all anxiously await the new CW Flash series, the Flash TV Talk podcast has been getting hyped with Flash Fan events and contests like the #SpeedsterShowdown, #RoguesRumble, and the “Race To 50″ drawing.
Its time to go BIG!
It’s simple. Have a friend record a video of you running across the screen (left to right) in your favorite Flash Gear! Could be a shirt, hat, or even a full fledged costume! Bonus points to Flash Fans who are able to record the run in front of a local monument or attraction (Mt Rushmore, The Eiffel Tower, Sydney Opera House, etc.)
Select video entries will be compiled into one super sketch that will be broadcast to the world wide Flash Fan community on Youtube and sent to the show’s creators, CW, and DC Comics!
Send the video as well as your twitter handle and city/state/country to Contest@FlashTVTalk.com
What’s the give away!? Every entry will be added to a drawing to win the Comixology collected edition of The Flash (2011-) Vol. 1: Move Forward
Be sure to snap a picture with the hash-tag #RunToTheFlash and tweet us to let the world know we aren’t going to sit still until the Flash gets here!
All Entries must be in by July 31st
The current Weekend Hashtag Project on Instagram is #WHPtakebackflash. The idea is to use the flash on your phone camera…but the double meaning was too good to pass up.
Flash TV Talk is hosting a tournament for Flash villains, to be voted on by fans! And if you successfully predicted the winners, you could win a digital copy of Flashpoint from Comixology. Full details (including the voting schedule) can be found on their Facebook page, but the basics are as follows:
-Fill out your bracket and send it to FLASH@podastery.com by midnight CST on April 26th, 2014.
-To vote, you must follow Flash TV Talk on Twitter.
-Three rounds of voting will take place each weekday, via RT or Fav.
-Daily voting will close at approximately 9PM CST.
-The winner will be announced on the May 24th episode of the Flash TV Talk podcast.
The brackets (which list the characters who will be participating in the tourney) can be seen here. Good luck!
Hey Speed Readers,
You all may remember Nick Kuilder from our Fifth Anniversary Contest we held back in June. We asked everyone “Why They Loved The Flash” and we all found Nick’s answer to be both inspiring and heartwarming. Now Nick is back with a fun little piece of work we like to call, Nick Kuilder’s Adventures of Barry Allen Part One featuring DC Collectibles New 52 Flash! Check it out after the break!
Gorilla Warfare, Reverse Flash, Villains Month/Forever Evil — plus guest spots in Smallville, Justice League Beyond, and of course the Arrow TV show. What was your favorite Flash story of the year?
Update: The survey is closed — here are the results!
| Gorilla Warfare (Flash #13-#17) | 2% | (2 Votes) |
| Flash vs. Trickster (Flash #18-19) | 1% | (1 Votes) |
| Reverse Flash Saga (Flash #20-24) | 15% | (18 Votes) |
| Flash #25: Zero Year | 31% | (38 Votes) |
| Flash #26: Flash out of Water | ||
| Villains Month: Reverse Flash | 1% | (1 Votes) |
| Villains Month: Grodd | 1% | (1 Votes) |

| Injustice: Gods Among Us Chapter 13 (Flash spotlight) | 2% | (2 Votes) |
| Arrow: The Scientist / Three Ghosts | 16% | (19 Votes) |
| Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox | 12% | (15 Votes) |
| My collection of back-issues | 9% | (11 Votes) |
There’s a clear winner, and a sharp division between the top five and the rest:
Two choices pulled in no votes at all: Flash #26, which hit stores during the second day of the survey — no surprise, since most people hadn’t had a chance to read it by the time the survey closed, and I actually considered leaving it off because of that. Smallville Season 11: Haunted, a digital-first comic now available in print that focused on Bart Allen and introduced the Smallville universe’s Jay Garrick. Maybe Flash fans are just tired of characters getting killed off.
One problem with the survey: I had to relaunch it after it had been up for about an hour and a half because I realized I’d forgotten to include Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. (Seriously, how did I do that?) I had to decide whether it was better to relaunch the poll and lose about 40 votes, hoping most of them would see the notice and resubmit their votes, or leave out the Flash’s premiere animated movie. I’m still not sure I made the right call, but it’s a thoroughly unscientific survey.
