Flash #2 Solicited

6 Replies

DC has posted May’s Brightest Day solicitations, including The Flash #2:

The Flash #2

On sale MAY 12 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
Written by GEOFF JOHNS
Art and cover by FRANCIS MANAPUL
1:10 variant cover by RYAN SOOK

BRIGHTEST DAY shines its light on the continuing saga of Barry Allen – The Fastest Man Alive! The Flash continues his investigation into the “Dastardly Death of the Rogues” as the case takes a dramatic turn and Barry corners a suspect…and can’t believe who it is!

Judging by all the snow in May, either Captain Cold or Weather Wizard is probably involved. Or Central City has been transported to the southern hemisphere. 🙂

On one hand, I hope they stop with the variant covers soon. On the other hand, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing Ryan Sook’s take on the Flash.

Also, it looks like Jay Garrick is guest-starring in Justice League of America.

Update: Artist Francis Manapul has posted a scan of the original art for the cover. Continue reading →

Retailers please note: This issue will ship with two covers. Please see the Previews Order Form for more information.

Some Thoughts:

  • After a year of reshuffling the series’ concept, we finally have an official launch date for The Flash.
  • Now we know what happened to the cover Tony Harris was working on for Flash Secret Files.
  • I wonder how long they’ll keep doing variant covers.
  • It’s kind of funny that they dropped the backup stories in order to keep the price point at $2.99, but they’re starting with an oversized $3.99 first issue.

Some Flash news broke over the weekend. In case you missed the original posts…

Second, the Flash Secret Files 2010 solicitation is up. It’s due March 24.

I’ll be back this evening with a run-down of likely Flash appearances in the full March solicitations.
