Sneak Peek At Flash #23 Solicitation

DC’s full solicitations for May won’t be out for a while, but Newsarama has a preview of several issues, and one of them is Flash #23. You may recall that we’ve already seen solicits for Flash #22, which is the issue due out in the first half of May.

THE FLASH #23

This seems to suggest that we will indeed be seeing Professor Zoom during the Flash-Batman crossover, so it’s interesting to get a bit more information about that.

Early April DC Solicitations

April solicitations aren’t due out until next Monday, though for some reason Bleeding Cool has most of them up already. Trades aren’t listed, so it’s possible there will be a Waid or Johns TPB announced that day. But until then, here are the Flash-related solicitations for April. Spoilers, naturally!

Some interesting-sounding issues that month, and a couple of cool collections/trades. “The Return of Barry Allen” is always a popular story, so it’s good to see it released in another trade. And, as I noted a few days ago when we saw the sneak peek at the Flash solicitation, it’s nice to have Captain Boomerang officially back as part of the Flashverse.

Anything you’re looking forward to in March? Share your thoughts!
