Justice League: War is adapted from the opening arc of the New 52 Justice League series, written by Geoff Johns.  It is currently set for an early 2014 release.

Speed Force Photo Group on Flickr

Speed Force Flickr Group Thumbs

I keep meaning to plug this on the blog: We’ve got a Speed Force photo pool on Flickr. Unlike Instagram, where we’re posting our own con photos, on Flickr we’re providing a space to highlight everyone’s *ahem* Flash photography. Photographers can contribute their pictures of Flash, Rogues and other speedster cosplayers, collectibles, and sightings.

It’s fun to see the variations people come up with, from costume designs and poses to photo composition. (I like to think I’m a passable photographer, but looking at some of these shots reminds me that my convention photos tend to be a lot more snapshot than art.) Update: Check out this awesome photo shoot from NYCC featuring the female Jay Garrick in this gallery and a Wally West cosplayer.

Check it out, and if you’re on Flickr yourself, feel free to join the group!

This Week – Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #1 & Impulse vs White Lightning

The Rogues call no man boss, but a new evil threat might not leave them much choice! Will they fall in line, or refuse and risk certain death? The answer will tear the Rogues apart! Brian Buccellato, Patrick Zircher, Scott Hepburn. Preview at IGN.

Digital backissues: Impulse #80 wraps up the White Lightning story that’s been running through the last few issues, weaving from foreground to background and back, and Bart makes a decision about his future.
