This Week’s Digital Backissues: Flash Annual #10 & Flash #159-160

DC has added one more Wally West annual and two more Barry Allen issues to their digital backlist this week.

Flash Annual #10 (1997): Part of the “Pulp Heroes” theme, in this case focusing on romance. Wally West is consulting on a movie being made about the Flash, and the actress playing “Lindy” Park has a more than healthy interest in him. And then there’s Rainbow Raider… Plus a backup story, “Sound and Fury” starring Pied Piper.

Flash #159 (1966)- “The Flash’s Final Fling” – has the scarlet speedster hung up his boots for good?

Flash #160 (1966) 80-Page giant featuring reprints of classic Silver Age stories, plus the Golden-Age “Duet of Danger” featurng the first appearance of the Fiddler.

Is Every Door Really Open After Convergence?

6 Replies

A few months ago, Dan Didio said that “we’re leaving every door open” after Convergence. It’s easy to read that as suggesting that all those old versions of the characters are now officially out there somewhere in the multiverse….

…except they aren’t. Not according to Convergence #8 anyway.

Flash: Divergence Sneak Peek

flash-divergence-preview-splashpageDC has an eight page preview of the post-Convergence direction of the Flash in which we see Barry Allen’s new costume, his new living situation (with a surprise roommate), plus a reminder of his family history…which looks like it may be important, now that Professor Zoom (the Reverse Flash) is back — and the Professor has brought his students along.

I’m not sure if this is part of the upcoming The Flash #41 or if it’s an independent preview.

According to Brett Booth on Twitter, this is a stand-alone preview that is not part of The Flash #41.
