Upcoming: The Flash #233

DC Comics has revealed their solicitations for the month of October. Among them is The Flash #233. Mark Waid is joined on the issue by John Rogers. As Wally West's adventures in superhero parenthood continue, it seems as if readers will get some long-awaited answers concerning the West family's leave of absence from the DC Universe proper; the forthcoming issue will launch an all-new back-up feature--"The Fast Life"--chronicling the scarlet speedster's experiences during Infinite Crisis. Doug Braithwaite's cover for the issue also offers us our first glimpse of the costumes that will be worn by the fastest-father-alive's junior speedsters!

Written by Mark Waid & John Rogers; Art by Daniel Acuña and Doug Braithwaite; Cover by Doug Braithwaite. The Justice League steps up to take away the Flash's loved ones in the name of the law! Also in this issue: "The Fast Life" begins! This backup feature by Waid, Rogers (Blue Beetle) and Doug Braithwaite (Justice) picks up from Infinite Crisis and reveals the secrets behind the West Family’s otherworldly exile! DC Universe. 32pg. Color. $2.99 US. On Sale October 24, 2007.

Indeed, it will be good to find out what has happened to the Wests since we last saw them. I'm interested to see how the back-up feature is going to work.

There have been some "Tales of the Sinestro Corps" backup stories in the main Green Lantern title over the last few months as well.

Interesting note: Mark Waid mentioned in an interview a while back that the twins would not have superspeed, but that their powers were "side effects" of speed powers. Not quite sure how that will work out, but we'll see.

Also, the Newsarama preview for All-Flash #1 has Wally telling Superman that the twins are named "Iris" and "Jai". Yes, Jai with an "i" as opposed to a "y". Probably to reflect Linda's Korean heritage, but I'm not sure.
