Deadman and the Flying Graysons covers

I'd just like to take a moment and say how much I am in love with the covers for the "Flashpoint" tie-in "Deadman and the Flying Graysons". Cliff Chiang is the man responsible for these masterpieces, with Mikel Janin doing interior art.

The three issue mini-series is written by J.T. Krul, who is currently writing "Green Arrow" for DC. The tie-in focusses on Deadman (presumably still alive as Boston Brand) and Dick Grayson (with alive parents?) performing in their travelling circus and supporting the resistance against the Amazons. I'll be getting every issue of this mini for sure.

Flashpoint: Week Three (15/06/2011)

Week three of June brings us Deadman and Dick Grayson, Wonder Woman and Gorilla Grodd.

Deadman and the Flying Graysons #1

By: J.T. Krul, Mikel Janin, Cliff Chiang

FLASH FACT! For their last performance - an escape act!

The covers for this mini-series are all done like old fashioned circus posters, and they all look fantastic so far. It'll be interesting to see how Dick grew up with his parents, as well as the not-dead Deadman.

Wonder Woman and the Furies #1

By: Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, Ed Benes, Scott Clark, David Beaty

FLASH FACT! If she can't have the world - no one will!

Alongside Emperor Aquaman, we've got extra Amazonian Wonder Woman. And it looks like she'll be teaming up with Hawkgirl and a few of the other premier DC women. Should be interesting.

Grodd of War #1 (one-shot)

By: Sean Ryan, Ig Guara, Francis Manapul

FLASH FACT! Africa belongs to him!

The first of the four one-shots for June, with a cover by the fantastic Francis Manapul. I'm not a fan of Gorilla Grodd, but if it's just a one-shot, why not get it?

NOTE: 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.
