This Week in Flash Comics: Convergence Speed Force, Digital Flash Annuals of the 1980s, Season Zero

A new chapter in Flash Season Zero featuring King Shark and the Suicide Squad came out on Monday.

Tuesday of course saw “Grodd Lives” on the TV show.

Today, the conclusion of the two-part Convergence: Speed Force is out. Pre-Rebirth Wally West and the twins — plus the Zoo Crew’s Fastback — face off against Flashpoint’s Wonder Woman. Gamma Squad has a preview of the issue.

DC has finally gotten back to adding Flash comics to the digital backlist. This week they’ve added the 1987 and 1988 Flash Annual #1 and Annual #2 from Wally West’s series. The first places Wally in a Kung Fu style adventure where he must learn to control the “death touch.” The second has him dealing with his father, recently outed as a Manhunter agent, as he takes on a shady job as a private detective. (Plus: Wally wears a Devo T-shirt, if that’s the sort of thing you find interesting.)

“Rogue Air” Promo

Here’s the thirty-second trailer for next week’s episode of The Flash, titled “Rogue Air”. As you may expect, the promo’s quite spoilery. It’ll be the second-last episode of the season, so I imagine a lot will be happening.

And just for fun, here’s a poor-quality copy of the Canadian (CTV) promo. It’s fairly different. CTV trailers are always available on their site, but apparently people outside Canada can’t view them.

Flashfans.org has a deleted scene from this week’s episode, which finally answers the question of how the prisoners are fed on the Pipeline.

First Look At the Cast Of Suicide Squad

CEHeJU3WAAA5H0S Many sites, including People Magazine, posted a photo of the Suicide Squad cast on Sunday. The image comes courtesy of director David Ayer, who first posted it on Twitter. Anyway, the image may be of some interest to Flash fans because of Captain Boomerang, who’s played by Australian actor Jai Courtney.

The film recently started production in Toronto, and will be out in theatres in August 2016. What do you think of the villains and their new looks?

New “Grodd Lives” Trailer

The CW has released a one-minute trailer for next week’s episode, titled “Grodd Lives”. The previous promo was only thirty seconds long, so this one has a lot of new footage. It’s quite spoilery, so be warned, but looks pretty exciting!
