Flash #39 Preview is Up!

The 13th Dimension has a preview of Flash #39, out in stores next week. We learn a little more about Overload, the top-hat-wearing buggy driver who’s been complaining about buzzing over the last few issues, and reporter Iris West meets with her source in the Central City Police Department to investigate just what’s changed about the Flash.

“Fallout” – Review of Episode 114 of THE FLASH

Last episode ended with a bang…or rather a nuclear explosion as Firestorm blew up while Barry and Caitlin sped away just ahead of the blast wave. Could that really have been the end of Firestorm? Not a chance! That’s where we pick up in Episode 114 of THE FLASH, “Fallout”!

SOME SPOILERS AHEAD

This Week’s Flash: Fallout, False Green Lanterns and the Menace of the Man-Missile

Tonight’s episode of the Flash features the *ahem* “Fallout” from last week’s “The Nuclear Man.” Watch the preview.

GENERAL EILING TARGETS FIRESTORM — After the nuclear explosion separates Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell) and Dr. Stein (guest star Victor Garber), Barry (Grant Gustin) and the team believe both men are safe. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) is thrilled to have her fiancé back and prepares to resume their life together while Dr. Stein returns to his wife. However, when General Eiling (guest star Clancy Brown) targets Firestorm, Ronnie and Dr. Stein must decide if they are safer together or apart. Meanwhile, Mason Bridge (guest star Roger Hayworth) tells Iris (Candice Patton) that there is something secretive going on at S.T.A.R. Labs and Dr. Stein gives Barry some important information about time travel. Steve Surjik directed the episode written by Keto Shimizu & Ben Sokolowski.

New on DC’s digital backlist this Wednesday: Flash #143 and #144 from 1964, featuring “Trail of the False Green Lanterns” (guest-starring Hal Jordan) and “Menace of the Man-Missile.” If I remember correctly, that story features a human nuclear bomb, which makes for an interesting bit of timing. There’s also a Kid Flash solo story, “Lesson for a Star Athlete.” Gardner Fox writes, with art by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella, and covers by Infantino and Murphy Anderson.
