Flashpoint #5

The thunderous conclusion to DC's 2011 event series arrives with a cover that crackles with raw energy — The Flash and the Reverse-Flash grip each other in a lightning-charged struggle while a battered, bloodied Batman looms in the foreground beneath them. Andy Kubert and Sandra Hope's cover composition sells the weight of the moment beautifully, with electricity tearing across a bruised purple sky and the bold tagline "It All Changes Here!" leaving little doubt that this fifth and final chapter carries real consequence. Written by Geoff Johns with interior art by Kubert, inked by Sandra Hope and Jesse Delperdang, this is the payoff issue the entire Flashpoint saga has been building toward.
