As part of the current “Dawn of DC” era, Jeremy Adams’ Flash title will end at #800 and be relaunched with new creative team Si Spurrier and Mike Deodato Jr. The new series will be renumbered and have a distinctly horror-themed bent, and begins in September. Here’s the descriptive blurb from DC:
Wally West has never been quicker, more fulfilled, more heroic. His loving family is around him. And yet something is off. Very off. His evolving understanding of his powers has opened Wally to new avenues of sci-fi adventure, and attuned his senses to strange new ideas. Something whispers from the dark vibrations beyond the Speed Force, and as Wally experiments with creative new approaches to his powers he encounters new realms, mysterious allies and mind-shattering terrors. Starting with a prelude in the soon-to-be-legendary The Flash #800, the chronicles of the Fastest Man Alive take an action-packed turn towards cosmic horror.
But the news also comes with the announcement of Flash #800, which will include a smorgasbord of past Flash writers and artists such as Adams, Mark Waid, Geoff Johns, Scott Kolins, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and more. As noted above, it will be the final issue of the current series and will lead into the new one. It’ll likely be out in June, but the new series won’t relaunch until September.

Have I told you that this is an AWESOME arc? I think so…still, this is getting better by the page. THE FLASH 793 delivers outstanding action with a huge emotional punch. We are in the middle of this storyline…and there are serious questions as to who, if anyone, will make it through unscathed. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
