About a mile or two from the bus stop ad I saw last week. I can’t believe the Flash TV show actually starts tomorrow!

Jesse sent in this collection of Flash sightings, including two promotions for the Flash TV show (starting Tuesday!). Billboards and bus wraps — this is really happening!


A Flash TV poster at a bus stop in LA. It somehow seems more real when you see the ads out “in the wild” and not just online or at a comic convention.

A few months back, I saw this iPad billboard out of the corner of my eye and thought of this Jay Garrick/Golden Age Flash statue.
Apple has since rolled out a summer version of the same ad, which gives you an idea of how long it took me to post this.
Posted last week on Speed Force’s Instagram page.
DC has started running a series of ads for Converse shoes featuring different versions of their characters from the Golden Age through the upcoming September relaunch, under the slogan, “Classic Heroes. Classic Shoes.” The Flash ad, seen in pictures at Bleeding Cool, gives us another look at the new Flash costume, and our first view of his boots. [UPDATE: Here’s a better scan that I made from Flashpoint: Legion of Doom]
Personally, I think the new boot design (like all the seams on the costume) is a bit busy, but I’ve seen far worse.
The poses are so similar that I’m pretty sure they’re all new art, but whoever did these drawings did a great job mimicking the styles of particular artists over the decades.
Update: We have an explanation for the boots! (Sort of.)
