Flash #42 by Robert Venditti, Van Jensen, Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund and Andrew Dalhouse arrives in stores next week.

Professor Zoom is back, and he’s not alone! Who’s along for the ride to kill the fastest man alive? Find out here!
We get to see just how much faster Professor Zoom is than Barry Allen, plus Barry doesn’t get along with his new roommate’s pet rat. Pet rat? Well, after breaking up with Patty, he’s rooming with Hartley Rathaway, aka the Pied Piper. Confused? Check out last month’s Divergence sneak peek for a little more info on how things have changed for the Flash of Earth-Zero while we were off reading about the Convergence.
DC has an eight page preview of the post-Convergence direction of the Flash in which we see Barry Allen’s new costume, his new living situation (with a surprise roommate), plus a reminder of his family history…which looks like it may be important, now that Professor Zoom (the Reverse Flash) is back — and the Professor has brought his students along.
I’m not sure if this is part of the upcoming The Flash #41 or if it’s an independent preview.
According to Brett Booth on Twitter, this is a stand-alone preview that is not part of The Flash #41.
ComicBook.com has the preview for Convergence: The Flash #2, out in stores tomorrow. Barry Allen of Earth-One (1980s, pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths) meets the Superman of the Tangent Universe, and in these preview pages, they discuss the contrived nature of the combat set before them. (I’m pleasantly surprised to see that acknowledged in the text.)

Check out the Reverse Flash in the teaser for tomorrow’s Flash TV Show season finale…
A new chapter in Flash Season Zero featuring King Shark and the Suicide Squad came out on Monday.
Tuesday of course saw “Grodd Lives” on the TV show.
Today, the conclusion of the two-part Convergence: Speed Force is out. Pre-Rebirth Wally West and the twins — plus the Zoo Crew’s Fastback — face off against Flashpoint’s Wonder Woman. Gamma Squad has a preview of the issue.
DC has finally gotten back to adding Flash comics to the digital backlist. This week they’ve added the 1987 and 1988 Flash Annual #1 and Annual #2 from Wally West’s series. The first places Wally in a Kung Fu style adventure where he must learn to control the “death touch.” The second has him dealing with his father, recently outed as a Manhunter agent, as he takes on a shady job as a private detective. (Plus: Wally wears a Devo T-shirt, if that’s the sort of thing you find interesting.)
