Upcoming: The Flash #14

DC Comics has announced their line-up for the month of July. Apparently, The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #14 is going to be big! The issue, featuring a beautiful cover by Joshua Middleton, represents the second of two special issues seemingly designed to attract readers to the revitalized title. The solicitation reveals that DC is expecting high demand for the book, and the publishing hype has prompted Newsarama to ask, "So just what is going on in The Flash in June and July?"

DC Comics announces the second month of a special Flash promotion as the Fastest Man Alive's world changes forever! Retailers: please check your Previews order form for a special incentive designed to help you meet the demand for this story. Fans: remind your retailer early and often to order you a copy! DC Universe. 32pg. Color. $2.99 US. On Sale July 18, 2007.

I have to agree, Kelson. Thus far they've told us absolutely nothing about the story that will be featured in The Flash #13 and The Flash #14. I'm not certain whether I should be excited or worried. We'll just have to wait and see.

As for Flash: The Greatest Stories Ever Told, I'm saving that for another entry...

I've got a different take, since this reminds me of the whole death of Captain America thing.

Retailers were pissed because they didn't know demand would be high and spoilerphobic fans like me would've been bothered if we'd been told "Cap croaks."

I, for one, would like to see us return to a time when readers don't know so much that's going to happen waaaaay before it ever does. For me, that kinda defeats the point.

You raise a good point, West! We are living in a time when it's hard to keep a plot twist secret, particularly on the internet. I'll do my best to remain cautiously optimistic, then. In the end, we just might be pleasantly surprised!
