Flashpoint Frenzy

On Friday, DC announced the titles that will be included in the upcoming event, Flashpoint.  Paul and I agree that while it has a similar theme to Elseworlds (blech!), Flashpoint has a lot of potential.  The most recent Flash comic was actually a a rebirth issue about Reverse Flash and gave me a huge new appreciation for the character.  The story details Eobard Thawne’s life, but every time he plays second fiddle to another person, he goes back in time and gets rid of them.  Sometimes this method works to secure his future and sometimes it doesn’t and he has to go back again to make further changes.  This issue is the basis for Flashpoint and instead of doing one-shots, DC is going to do three issue mini-arcs.  All of the titles included pique my interest, but the three that jump out immediately are: Deadman and the Flying Graysons, The Secret Seven, and Deathstroke and the Curse of the Ravager. 

Flashpoint itself will be a five issue arc while the titles of the of the mini-arcs include:
