HeroClix Flash Duo

Check this out!

WizK!ds has posted a “News Flash”…about a certain Scarlet Speedster. Or rather, a certain pair of Scarlet Speedsters.

Yes, the upcoming The Brave and The Bold expansion for DC HeroClix will include a Two Flashes figure featuring the team of Barry Allen and Wally West!

The link has a full write-up of the figure’s powers, a side view, and scans of the card and dial.

I’m guessing this piece has been in the works for a while now, since it looks like they have Wally’s previous costume. It’s hard to tell in the photos they’ve posted, but it looks like both masks have open eyes.

Thanks to @LegionOmnicom for the link!

News

Incoming Justice League writer James Robinson will include a speedster on the roster.

Yes. I’m talking to Geoff [Johns] about which one it will be. I just have to make sure that everyone at DC is happy with the choice. But there’s a definitely one I have in mind, and I think you’ll all find it an interesting choice.

High Five! Comics has invented the world’s fastest drink: the Scarlet Speedster. In true Flash fashion, though, it’s not the first drink to ride the lightning! They’ve also put together a list of the top 10 “Most Ridiculous Villains We Could Think Of”. Two Flash villains — the Turtle and Double Down — make the cut alongside such classics as Starro the Conqueror, Polka Dot Man, and Turner D. Century. (I am not making this up.)
