The Flash TV show returns tonight, and it’s double trouble for the Flash with Captain Cold and Heat Wave!
DC adds three more Silver Age issues from 1962 to their digital backlist (ComiXology and other platforms) on Wednesday: The Flash #131, 132 and #133. Stories include a team-up with Green Lantern and the infamous Abra Kadabra story, “Plight of the Puppet-Flash”
CW has released a new promo for next week’s new Flash TV episode featuring Heat Wave and Captain Cold.
Additionally, we now know who will play Axel Walker, the younger Trickster. Dexter’s Devon Graye will play Axel. Last month, CW announced that veteran Flash actor Mark Hamill plays the older James Jesse, with Allen and Det. West seeking him out him in prison to learn how to stop the copycat villain.

Finally, here’s a look at Firestorm’s costume, or more likely part of it, at Firestorm Fan.
The Flash #37 is out next week, and CBR has a preview of the issue. Present-day Barry Allen meets more people trapped in the timeless world of the speed force, while back on Earth Iris West’s investigative reporting uncovers a shocking surprise. And that doesn’t even get to the “all-new, all-murderous Flash” promised by the solicitation text.
Story by Robert Venditti and Van Jensen, art by Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund and Andrew Dalhouse. Cover by Booth/Rapmund/Dalhouse, variant cover by Darwyn Cooke. Speaking of which…
Two new Flash stories are out in comic shops this week!
AICN has a preview of Flash #36 by Venditti, Jensen, Booth, Coelho, Rapmund, and Dalhouse. There’s also a LEGO variant cover. “Out of time! The Flash is trapped in a bizarre, lost land terrorized by castaways from the past, present, and future. But that leaves Central City without a hero…or does it?”
At Comicosity, read the beginning of Secret Origins #7, featuring the origin of Barry Allen (New 52 edition) as written by Robert Venditti and Van Jensen with art by Andre Coehlo.
Update: As Wayne points out in the comments, DC has also released a digital edition of DC Special Series #11 from 1978, featuring an 80-page Flash story starring Barry Allen, Wally West, Jay Garrick, and Johnny Quick.
And finally, there’s a single-page comic book preview of tonight’s Flash TV show episode, “Blackout.”

The Flash #35 comes out next week and concludes the storyline that began back in #30 and Flash Annual #3. The Future Flash has arrived in the present, but based on what we’ve seen so far, his plans for present-day Barry Allen aren’t too friendly!
