SPOILERS AHEAD!
DC has posted their full complement of solicitations for May 2024, and here are all the ones relating to the Flash. It’s a bit of a quiet month for Flash fans, as it seems the Speed Force series is not continuing, and there’s no hint of Wally West in the Titans solicitation. But Si Spurrier’s solo Flash series continues, and there are plenty of reprints to read, including the surprise inclusion of James Robinson’s JSA: The Golden Age.
You can read the solicitations in their entirety at Adventures In Poor Taste.
