Flashpoint #[nn]

The Scarlet Speedster surges forward in a burst of electric lightning on Andy Kubert and Sandra Hope's striking cover, while a lineup of imposing, shadowed figures looms ominously behind him — setting a tone that's equal parts urgent and unsettling. Geoff Johns, Kubert, and Sandra Hope bring their considerable talents to this 2011 DC event, with "Chapter One" promising a world where something has gone very wrong for Barry Allen and the heroes he knows. If you're looking for a superhero story with genuine stakes and bold, kinetic visuals, Flashpoint announces itself with real confidence right from the opening chapter.
