![]() ![]() That's not wrong, necessarily, but to be sure it singles out Flashpoint as something else - a different kind of event miniseries than Geoff Johns has delivered before.įlashpoint does present the first appearance of the DC New 52 costumes (and some characters), but the new continuity is not its focus. In contrast, Flash Barry Allen is powerless until the third issue of Flashpoint and spends most of those three issues in the Batcave talking to Batman - almost half the miniseries - and ultimately only engages in one or two action sequences in the entire book. Each of these stories were two-to-three issues longer than Flashpoint, and yet I believe those books had really started by the second issue (the Indio Tribe whisking away Green Lantern in Blackest Night, for instance). The body count rose equally quickly in Johns's Blackest Night. Flashpoint places an astounding focus on interaction rather than action it is perhaps the most accessible of all the great DC Comics events, one that may disappoint long-time fans even as it has the best chance of standing the test of time for new ones.īy the end of the first issue of writer Geoff Johns's Infinite Crisis, we'd already seen Bizarro beat the Human Bomb to death the number of deaths and decapitations would only rise before the story ended. ![]() ![]() With Flashpoint, the DC Universe begins again not with a whimper, but with a whisper. The DC Universe has restarted before, with a bang. ![]()
