Recently we reviewed the print version of THE FLASH SEASON ZERO, which contains the first two chapters of this digital-first series. Now, we pick back up with the digital chapters as each one is released. When we last left everyone, there was a zoo full of animals on the march in Central City! What could be behind this…and how can Barry save everyone without giving himself away as The Flash?
LIGHT SPOILERS ONLY
The premiere of the Flash television series debuts this week (on Tuesday, October 7), and several of us at Speed Force have written reviews of the pilot episode. There are some spoilers, of course, so you can decide if you’d rather read them before or after the episode airs.
Spoilers after the jump!
About a mile or two from the bus stop ad I saw last week. I can’t believe the Flash TV show actually starts tomorrow!
Jesse sent in this collection of Flash sightings, including two promotions for the Flash TV show (starting Tuesday!). Billboards and bus wraps — this is really happening!
I didn’t see a whole lot of Flash costumes at Long Beach Comic-Con last weekend — which was kind of surprising, seeing as how the TV show starts Tuesday! — but I did spot the Golden Age Flash couple who made a splash at SDCC, and a New 52-style Captain Cold. (Also: two or three Elsas and at least one Jack Frost. I hope they all ran into each other at some point.)
I also got to visit the S.T.A.R. Labs Mobile Research Unit promoting the TV show, which was fun, both for the exhibits and for the Allen case bulletin board. Check out Monday’s article for photos and a writeup of the exhibit.
Finally, Norm Rapmund was selling these prints by Brett Booth and himself, featuring the major players in the current story arc. He was selling a limited edition (as in 25 copies!) of the uncolored image, and I was tempted. It looked really striking in black and white as well, but it was also twice as much, and I liked the way the present/future Barrys split the image into red and blue.
Head over to K-Squared Ramblings for my full con writeup and photos!
MTV has a preview of the next digital chapter of Flash Season Zero, which goes online on Monday — just a day before the TV show begins!
The story takes place between episodes one and two of the new TV series, and the third chapter – hitting computers everywhere on October 6 – finds the now superpowered Barry Allen trying to stop a breakout from the Central City Zoo, all while trying to protect his secret love Iris West and not revealing his secret identity.
