Flash Season Zero Chapter 3

MTV has a preview of the next digital chapter of Flash Season Zero, which goes online on Monday — just a day before the TV show begins!

The story takes place between episodes one and two of the new TV series, and the third chapter – hitting computers everywhere on October 6 – finds the now superpowered Barry Allen trying to stop a breakout from the Central City Zoo, all while trying to protect his secret love Iris West and not revealing his secret identity.

Written by Andrew Kreisberg
Script by Brooke Eikmeier & Katherine Walczak

You can read chapters one and two at DC’s various outlets (ComiXology, Google Play, Kindle, etc.) right now, or head down to your local comic shop for the print edition of Flash Season Zero #1, which collects the first two chapters of the series.

Flash TV Updates: Latest Trailers, More Scripts Ordered

Leave a reply

Over the weekend, the CW released two more trailers for the Flash TV series, The Future Begins (above) and Discover (after the cut). With two weeks to go, buzz for the show continues to be very positive. The CW is confident enough that they’ve already started ordering more scripts for the second half of the season.

They’ve also released a lot of interview clips and official cast photos over the last couple of weeks — and an official description of the first episode, “City of Heroes.” (Lucky for them that title’s not being used anymore, huh?) We’ve gotten a little behind on our TV coverage here at Speed Force, focusing mainly on casting news, but you can catch up at Flash TV News or Flash Fans.org.

Flash: Futures End Preview on Uproxx

Flash Futures End 1Next week DC releases Flash: Futures End #1. Like the rest of DC’s New 52 line this September, the issue jumps ahead five years. Of course, the current storyline with the Flash of twenty years from now has him coming back in time to undo mistakes, particularly one that will cost Wally West his life…five years from today! Like last year’s Reverse Flash one-shot for Villains Month, the Flash team has managed to work the event theme into their main story instead of going off on a tangent for a month.

Check out a preview at Uproxx Gamma Squad, revealing just why Barry Allen was late (this time), and showing a new look for Reverse Flash Daniel West.

Flash: Seazon Zero #1 Hits Monday – Preview Up Now

Flash Season Zero Chapter 1 CoverDC has released a preview of Flash: Season Zero #1 through USA Today, along with an extensive article about the digital-first comic set in the TV series continuity.

The first arc features a group of circus performers turned supervillains by the particle accelerator incident (it sounds like a lot of villains get their powers this way). They’ll be taking advantage of the comic book format to do more elaborate visuals and “outlandish villains” that they’d never be able to get away with on a TV budget. There will also be hints about the TV show sprinkled throughout the series.

The circus troupe is apparently inspired by a group from Starman. “The few times especially on Arrow where we’ve tried to create our own villains, it hasn’t always worked out the best for us,” Kreisberg remarked, going on to say that even the smallest connection to an existing comic book character gives them something more solid to build from.

Flash: Season Zero will release a new digital chapter biweekly on Mondays, alternating with Arrow: Season 2.5. Print editions will follow the next month, with issue #1 hitting the shelves October 1, a week before the TV show debuts.

DC Comics’ website has a preview of The Flash #34, out this Wednesday. The preview and cover both focus on the present-day part of the story, which has also been showing us the future Flash as he travels back in time, righting wrongs as he goes just in case he fails to fix the key point in his own past.

In THE FLASH #34, time is getting closer as Future Flash reaches the point that broke his spirit – Wally West’s death. And Barry Allen gets one step closer to the Mashup Killer, but is the Mashup Killer still a step ahead?
