Some weekend linkblogging as we race toward Flashpoint.

Flash Art.

• Flash sketch by Mike Bowden, artist of DC RetroActive: The Flash – 90s
• Francis Manapul draws Kid Flash, XS and Captain Boomerang, Jr.. I agree: This needs to happen in Flashpoint!
• I remember readers talking about the “Flashcredibles” a few years back. I don’t think this Incredibles Flash is what they had in mind.

Flash and Flashpoint.

• That F’ing Monkey: Captain Cold, Television Star
• Comics Nexus spots a stealth Flashpoint tie-in starring XS in Adventure Comics #526. They also have several pages from the FCBD Flashpoint Preview.
