We caught up with Francis Manapul at HeroesCon 2015 for an interview on behalf of both TMStash and Speedforce.org. Manapul gave us the story behind the “5 O’Clock Shadow” look of Batman, the rise of Harvey Bullock as an A-List character in Detective, his favorite moments from THE FLASH and DETECTIVE, and more! Thanks to Francis Manapul for taking time from a very busy HeroesCon schedule to speak with us!
We caught up with Robert Venditti at HeroesCon 2015 for both TMStash and Speedforce.org, to talk about his current volume of THE FLASH, his ongoing work with GREEN LANTERN, his plans for X-O MANOWAR, and more! Thanks to Robert Venditti for taking the time out from a very busy HeroesCon to speak with us!
So we all heard recently that there was a casting call for “Wendy” and “John Clark“. Cue the rumour mill, as amateur sleuths hunt for details about their identities. Possible spoilers behind the jump.
DC has released a preview of Flash #41, out next week.

Professor Zoom is back, and he’s not alone! Who’s along for the ride to kill the fastest man alive? Find out here!
We get to see just how much faster Professor Zoom is than Barry Allen, plus Barry doesn’t get along with his new roommate’s pet rat. Pet rat? Well, after breaking up with Patty, he’s rooming with Hartley Rathaway, aka the Pied Piper. Confused? Check out last month’s Divergence sneak peek for a little more info on how things have changed for the Flash of Earth-Zero while we were off reading about the Convergence.

A new chapter in the digital-first Flash Season Zero is out, featuring the first meeting of the men who would become Captain Cold and Heat Wave.
DC has also added three more classic Flash comics to their digital backlist:
Flash Annual #11 (1998): Part of the “Ghosts” theme. Wally West is haunted by the spirit of Johnny Quick. I wrote about this one a few years back on Halloween.
Flash #161 (1966): Mirror Master invents a mirror that allows him to see 20 seconds into the future. Plus a really bizarre story with a talking costume based on the cover from the previous issue.
Flash #162 (1966): Flash vs. the Ornitho-Men from a zillion B.C. at the haunted amusement park. (No sign of Scooby-Doo.)
