Justice League: The Flashpoint ParadoxJustice League: The Flashpoint Paradox hit stores yesterday. The animated film is based on the 2011 miniseries Flashpoint by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert, and tells the story of what happens after the Flash wakes up, powerless, in a nightmarish alternate reality. The Justice League is gone, and the world sits on the brink of destruction as the Amazons and Atlantis prepare for war.

Flash #151 joins ComiXology’s digital back-issues: “A flashback tale from the early days of Wally West’s career when he and a pal from his neighborhood head off an attempted Gorilla City invasion of America. Guest-starring Robin and Aqualad!”

Speaking of Comixology and Flashpoint, the digital storefront is holding a Flashpoint sale this week, with all issues of the 2011 event (including tie-in miniseries, Booster Gold and the four “Road to Flashpoint” issues of Flash) available for 99 cents each.

Flash Annual #2 First Look

DC has a preview of its July annuals, including Flash Annual #2, shipping July 31. The main story by Brian Buccellato and Sami Basri guest-stars Green Lantern, looking back at the first meeting (in new 52 continuity) of Hal Jordan and Barry Allen. Judging by the preview page, they don’t start off very well. (Do two heroes ever meet for the first time and start by, you know, working together?)

On a related note, last week Newsarama interviewed Nicole Dubuc about her back-up story in the book, about “a man who has lost his wife in a fire — and he blames the Flash for not saving her.”

DC has a spotlight article and a preview of the issue.

Flash #111As far as back issues go, ComiXology is releasing Flash #110-111 and Impulse #12. This concludes the “Dead Heat” crossover started last week. The Flash and his allies have tracked Savitar to his lair, but can one Flash and a team of powerless speedsters stand against an army of super-speed ninjas? And how can Wally West defeat someone who has dedicated his life to studying the speed force?

In the aftermath, time-lost Legionnaire Jenni Ognats (XS) joins her cousin Bart Allen trying to fit in as a 20th-century teenager.
