STARRING HEROES FROM CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS! Barry Allen lashes out against the heroes of the Tangent Universe as he tries to protect Gotham City from Convergence!

This extra-sized issue includes a sneak peek at what’s coming up in the DC Universe!

Well, that cover confirms that he’s fighting the Tangent Superman.

As mentioned in the Convergence: Speed Force post, the Flash appears to be coming back from the event relatively unchanged — or at the very least, the numbering in June is picking up where it left off in March.

FlashFans.org spotted a great piece of news: The US edition of the CW Flash TV Season 1 DVD and Blu-Ray sets are now available for pre-order on Amazon! No word yet on an actual release date. Both editions show a list price of roughly $60, with pre-order set around $42.

Who’s planning to get this? Or have you abandoned primitive laser technology and physical distribution in favor of digital streaming?

Wally West desperately tries to protect his children and his city from the brutal assault of the Flashpoint Wonder Woman as the next phase of Convergence begins!

For those of you who haven’t been following, Convergence is a two-month event in which fragments of various DC eras and alternate realities have been thrown together by Braniac. The whole DC line is going on hiatus for two months, to be replaced temporarily with two-parters focusing on some of these realities, such as this one set in the pre-Flashpoint DC Universe.

DC doesn’t appear to be rebooting after Convergence, but they are retooling their line. 25 ongoing series are picking up in June right where they left off, including The Flash, while DC launches 24 new series including solo books for Midnighter, Black Canary, Cyborg and Starfire, retooled Justice League of America and Constantine: Hellblazer, and a lot more.

Flash Vol 6: Out of Time

DC has solicited the next Flash collection:

In these tales from THE FLASH #30-35, THE FLASH ANNUAL #3 and THE FLASH: FUTURES END #1, the fastest man alive is a broken man. His powers have failed him time and again at great cost to him and the city he has sworn to protect. Now he’s coming back to the current time to stop the one event that destroyed his life. And in the present, Barry Allen must contend with thieves trying to capitalize on the devastation of FOREVER EVIL. It’s a tale of two timelines that ushers in one of The New 52’s most anticipated character debuts!

It’s a bit different from the original announcement, which was for a trade paperback that stopped at Flash #34. I’m guessing the format was changed based on either sales or an editorial decision to keep the hardcovers going, and the inclusion of Future’s End: The Flash and The Flash #35 happened when someone pointed out that the main story didn’t actually end in #34!
