New Flashpoint Paradox Clip

5 Replies

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is due out on July 30th (although it’ll be airing earlier at San Diego Comic-Con), but perhaps this clip will tide you over until then. There’s no Flash in it, but it does have cameos of Citizen Cold and the Pied Piper, the first confirmation that Piper is in the film. The clip mainly features Cyborg and Batman, and gives a bit of history of the Flashpoint world.

Check it out here:

First Look at Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion

MTV Geek has the cover and solicitation for the first issue of Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion, one of three tie-in miniseries to DC Comics’ first big New 52 event crossover.

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!

A few key bits from MTV’s interview with Brian Buccellato:

“Rogues Rebellion” is a stand-alone story that takes place after Flash #24. It ties into Forever Evil, but the two miniseries can be read independently. “Poor Flash is sitting this one out — probably for his own good.”

It focuses on “Captain Cold, Mirror master, Heatwave, Weather Wizard, and the Trickster. Glider and Turbine will also play a major role, but those first five guys are front and center.”

As far as the future of Brian Buccellato’s take on the Rogues? “I have a bazillion plans for them. Heck, I wanna do my own Rogues ongoing series! But I’m not sure that anyone at DC is buying into (or even knows) about my evil plans!”

Head over to MTV Geek for the whole interview, plus interviews with Matt Kindt on Forever Evil: A.R.G.U.S. and Peter J. Tomasi on Forever Evil: Arkham War.
