New issues of Earth 2 (Jay Garrick) and Justice League 3000 (a new future Flash) arrive this week.
Additionally, DC is adding three more backissues to the digital collection: Flash #241-243 (Wally West), concluding the six-part “Fast Money.” I’m really not sure what DC is doing with this release schedule, since they skipped right over the second half of Geoff Johns’ run on the book to pick up the Peyer/Williams story. That leaves just four issues to go at the end of the series…plus a giant gap with only scattered issues between 201-225. (And for some reason a four-issue gap in the early 100s as well.)
Crave Online has a preview of Justice League 3000 #8, out this week. “In this exclusive preview from Justice League 3000 # 8, writers J.M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen continue their collaboration with artist Howard Porter as the future League is rocked once again by a betrayal within their ranks. But according to the cover, there’s a new Flash on the way… and she’s pissed!” Cover by
On Saturday, July 26, Warner Bros. will have a massive 3-hour event at Comic-Con International featuring the screenings of both the Gotham and Flash pilot episodes, scenes from Constantine, and cast/crew appearances.
Sadly, this means I won’t be able to attend the event, as I don’t have Saturday tickets. On the plus side, I also don’t have to worry about spending 4 hours waiting in line and getting shut out, so that’s 7 more hours of convention I can actually go to. Now that I think about it, I might be getting a better deal.
