Because I don’t follow Arrow spoilers too closely, I missed this little tidbit which may be of interest to Flash fans. Spoilers for next week’s episode behind the jump.
Massive Flash 500 Sale at ComiXology
To celebrate the Flash’s 75th Anniversary, DC and ComiXology are holding a gigantic sale with ~500 digital comics at 99¢ each — including many that are new to the digital backlist!
- Flash (New 52 series) starring Barry Allen: complete including annuals, zero, etc.
- Flash (1959) starring Barry Allen: 74 issues including #105-155 and scattered issues later in the run, 21 of which are newly digitized this week.
- Flash (1987) starring Wally West: complete run (they’ve finally filled in the missing 5 issues from #226-230), not including annuals
- Flash (2010) starring Barry Allen: complete run.
- Flash: Rebirth
- Flash: The Fastest Man Alive starring Bart Allen complete run (first time online)
- Flashpoint, Citizen Cold, Kid Flash Lost and Reverse Flash.
- Crisis on Infinite Earths
- Flash: Season Zero set in the TV continuity (which, to be honest, is already 99¢ an issue)
- JLA: Year One
- Flash/Green Lantern: Brave and the Bold starring Barry Allen and Hal Jordan (new online)
- Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion
- Final Crisis: Rogues Revenge (new online)
- Blackest Night: The Flash
Plus scattered single issues, some of them newly available digitally, including:
- Flash Comics #1 (first appearance of Jay Garrick)
- Showcase #4 (first appearance of Barry Allen)
- All the Superman/Flash races
- The “Dead Heat” crossover issues of Impulse
- Flash Plus Nightwing
- The first arc of the New 52 Justice League
- The Legends of the DC Universe 3-parter starring Barry Allen (a great melding of the CSI and superhero sides of his life)
- Secret Origins issues featuring the Rogues and the Flash
- Speed Force
- Flash Spectacular 1978
- Team-up issues of DC Comics Presents, Brave and the Bold, and Booster Gold (including the issue that IIRC is the source of the Rainbow Raider “I believe in me!” panel).
There’s so much stuff here, and so much new stuff, that I can’t get too upset at them for not adding more Golden Age comics even though the Flash whose 75th anniversary is being celebrated is Jay Garrick. (They did at least make a point of including some of his guest spots in the Silver Age collection.)
The sale runs through March 16. Check it out – if you want to read some classic (or recent) Flash comics, now’s a good time to look.
Update: ComicsAlliance has a list of recommendations, since you probably don’t have a spare $495 lying around to buy the full set. Though somehow they left out Flash #54, “Nobody Dies.”
New Flash Trailer And More
People.com (among other sources) has a new promo clip covering the next three episodes of The Flash. It gives us our first look at some new Rogues, but it’s pretty spoilery! Spoilers behind the jump.
75 Flashes
It’s been 75 years since the Flash first appeared, and DC has put together a fun video featuring a picture of the Flash from each year from 1940 to the present, including Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, plus a few alternate reality and future Flashes for good measure.
Don’t worry if you’re short on time; it goes by fast. 😉
“Rogue Time” Official Synopsis, And More
The CW has listed the official synopsis for upcoming episode “Rogue Time”, due to air March 24th. That isn’t the next episode, but rather two episodes from now. Spoilers behind the jump.
Official Stills From “Out Of Time”
We’re all waiting impatiently for the next episode of The Flash, which doesn’t air until March 17th. But maybe this will tide you over for now. Flashfans.org has posted official still images from the next episode, titled “Out Of Time”.
