The Flash
fan ofThe Flash , prepare yourselves : because another DC speedster is about to die . At least , that ’s what writer Tom King is teasing as part of his larger , heartfelt , and universe - change event , Heroes in Crisis .
The upshot had previously been announce by DC as a fresh kind of " Crisis " than the planet - smashing , persistence condensing , cosmic catastrophes of old event bearing the same name . But as apropos and relevant as thisHeroes in Crisismay be , King reassert that it just would n’t be a Crisis without a Flash falling .
That cruel tease came during a DC press event concentrate on theHeroesseries , featuring Tom King and artists Clay Mann and Mitch Gerads hosting a real - public edition of Sanctuary , the superhero therapy centre at the nerve of the story . King warn that he was n’t supposed to give so separate a tease , but went ahead and did it anyway ( there ’s clearly more to this book than even a drained Flash ) . He refer back to theInfinite Crisisera of DC ’s recent history , when Wally West was absorbed into the Speed Force like Barry Allen had been , but with his married woman refusing to let him impart without her or their Gemini .
moment later , it was Bart Allen ’s turn to go in the Speed Force like his granddaddy , Barry ( Bart would return and , again , be absorb duringFlashpoint ) . Quoting news from DC Co - Publisher Dan DiDio at the time that he could never block , King teased," … you ca n’t have a Crisis without a numb Flash . "
So far , King ’s run lead to Batman ’s wedding party , as well as hisshort Superman story in Action Comics # 1000have excelled when grapple with those same ideas , and his employment in humanizing the coldest hero in DC ’s roll have all been leading to Heroes in Crisis . Still , DC sports fan have been heartbroken and assault by the dying of a Flash before .
Here ’s hoping the report demand " a dead Flash " micturate it a worthy sacrifice . So who do you think is most likely to go ?
hero in Crisis # 1will start on September 26th , 2018 .
