2011's big DC Crossover Event - Flashpoint (starring The Flash)
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 5:09 pm
Flashpoint is a huge event, spanning 65 issues in all, and completely changing the DCU. The substantiated rumor is that Flashpoint is the in-story cause of the relaunch / reboot of the entire DC line coming in September. But for now, it's just good reads.
In a nutshell, The Flash and Booster Gold separately find themselves in a completely different world...only to discover that it's not a different world...it's the same world with a completely different history. I don't want to spoil it too much, but it has a bit of the flavor of AoA...only better, IMO.
A few enticing tidbits:
Bruce Wayne was killed. Thomas Wayne survived.
There never was a Flash. At all.
Hal Jordan never got the ring.
Aquaman and Wonder Woman are at war...and have destroyed most of Europe.
Superman is...absent.
Captain Cold is the hero of Central City.
Anyone reading it?
