Flashpoint: Week Two (08/06/2011)

This is the week that Flashpoint gets interesting for me, with three mini-series premiering and the second issue of the main series hitting the stands.

Flashpoint #2

By: Geoff Johns, Andy Kubert, Sandra Hope


The world-changing minise
ries continues! Where are the World's Greatest Super Heroes? Barry Allen is on a mission to find out or die trying - and that may be what's happening as he tries to make lightning strike twice!

Meanwhile, around the submerged Paris, the pirate Deathstroke confronts Emperor Aquaman!


As if the cover isn't enough to get you excited, the solicitation promises Deathstroke vs. Emperor Aquman, something I'm looking forward to quite a bit.

NOTE: This issue is shipping with a free Flaspoint ring (the same quality as the Green Lantern ones, don't get too exicted). Still, enough to make non-believers pick up the second issue.

Emperor Aquaman #1

By: Tony Bedard, Ardian Syaf, Vicente Cifuentes

FLASH FACT! He will drown the world - then rule it!

This is probably the mini-series that I'm most looking forward to. Aquaman is a hard character to get the reader to take seriously, but adding this kind of militaristic quality to him might make it work.

Deathstroke and the Curse of the Ravager #1

By: Jimmy Palmiotti, Joe Bennett, John Dell

FLASH FACT! He will stop at nothing to find his lost treasure!

I'm not a usual reader of... whatever comic that Deathstroke is in? I know he's a master assassin/fighter type person, but the pirate angle has my interest. Mostly I'm reading this to see some more of the dynamic/battle between Deathstroke and Emperor Aquaman.

Citizen Cold #1

By: Scott Kolins

FLASH FACT! He loves someone he should not!

FLASH FACT! I'm only buying this for the pin! Still, could be interesting.

NOTE again: I should point out that all the Flashpoint mini-series coming out this month come with a free Flashpoint pin featuring the re-imagined logos of the core characters. To me that's a good enough reason to buy the first issue of any of them. Especially Citizen Cold!
