DC released the official five-page preview for this week’s Flash issue yesterday, and you can see the entire thing at CBR. It features a quick glimpse of Captain Cold up to no good with Shrapnel, and Barry learning to cope with his new Negative-Flash powers…which aren’t exactly going well for him.
Flash #28 will be in stores this Wednesday!
We’ve already seen these Dark Nights: Metal solicitations for September, but DC had only released placeholder images to go with them. So Bleeding Cool recently posted two Flash-related covers to go along with the solicits, which you can see here. They’re both drawn by artist Jason Fabok, and the issues will be out in late September.
BATMAN THE RED DEATH #1
(W) Joshua Williamson (A) Carmine Di Giandomenico (CA) Jason Fabok
As the events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL rock the DC Universe, the creatures of the Dark Multiverse stand ready to invade our world! How can even the World’s Greatest Heroes stop a horde of deadly beings that appear to be powerful, nightmare versions of familiar figures? Find out in these special tie-in issues!

BATMAN THE MURDER MACHINE #1

This isn’t our first look at the speedster called Red Death, who also appears on the Flash #33 cover in October. But perhaps this issue will introduce him so we’ll know something about him by the time he fights Barry the following month.
Today the CW announced the casting of Hartley Sawyer as the Elongated Man in The Flash TV series. As reported by Variety, Sawyer’s most recent work is also from the CW, as part of the web series Saving The Human Race. And on The Flash, Ralph the detective will apparently be joining forces with Team Flash to solve one of Central City’s greatest mysteries.
Looking forward to seeing Elongated Man this season? What do you hope to see done with him on the show? Share your thoughts!
Bleeding Cool posted some DC covers for August, and among them is the primary cover for Flash #29. It shows Barry fighting Shrapnel, who’s mentioned in the solicitation for that issue.
And while we’re here, CBR did an interview with Flash writer Joshua Williamson about his most recent story arc on the book, and specifically about how he sees Eobard Thawne. There he offers some insight into Thawne’s troubled psychology and the development of the story. Check it out, you may find it interesting.
Plus, here’s a look at Barry’s daughter Nora Allen in Justice League #26, courtesy of Comicosity. The two Green Lantern kids are described as having the Allen surname as well, so it’ll be interesting to see what their deal is and how they may be related to Barry. This will presumably be another alternate future, since we were just treated to a glimpse of the potential future Dawn and Don Allen in the Flash series; perhaps history will be changed so Nora and these other kids are never born. We will have to see.
You want action? You’ve got it! You want a stunning conclusion? It’s right here! Joshua Williamson has made Eobard Thawne more menacing than ever…more sinister and yet more pathetic an individual, more dangerous and yet more lost. It’s a great conclusion to this arc, setting in motion some intriguing possibilities for future issues. I have some minor qualms, an we’ll get to those, but overall this is an outstanding conclusion to “Running Scared”. Want to know more? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
DC has released the five-page preview for this week’s Flash #27 issue, featuring the full debut of Barry as the Negative-Flash. Plus, it’s the finale of the big story arc with Eobard Thawne.
You can see all the pages at Freaksugar, and the issue will be out this Wednesday.
