FLASH FACT: He never got the ring! The Flashpoint mini-series continue with a universe where fighter pilot Hal Jordan never inherited the Green Lantern ring. Something tells us he’s still fearless. Written by Adam Schlagman. Art by Ben Oliver.

Also this week, don’t miss Flashpoint: Project Superman#1, and the one-shots Green Arrow Industries and The Canterbury Cricket.

Flash Fact: Our favorite Oklahoma comic writer is back.

OU grad Sterling Gates is writing two new series for DC since ending his celebrated run on Supergirl!

This week: Kid Flash Lost #1

Where is Kid Flash? Or should we say when?

Sterling revealed to Newsarama that Kid Flash, aka Bart Allen, is one of just a few characters in the arc who realize something is wrong with the timeline, making this book stand out among the Flashpoint titles.

Read the full interview here AND get a sneak peek here!

This fall: Hawk and Dove #1

Sterling teams with his childhood icon Rob Liefeld to launch this new ongoing series! It hits stands Sept. 7, and Rob has pledges he will be on time!

See Rob’s video pledge here AND read about it on Matt’s Nerdage blog here!

Reading Jack Kirby comics is like comfort food. Kirby was a pioneer of the art form, and whether you realize it or not, if you’ve ever read a comic book, Kirby’s influence was all over it!

With Kirby: Genesis #0, we baked you chocolate chip cookies. We had so much fun, a new batch of warm, gooey cookies goes into the oven to celebrate Kirby: Genesis #1!

Race in to Speeding Bullet today get your free, fresh comfort food to honor Jack Kirby, while supplies last. Like the cookies, we expect Kirby: Genesis #1 will go fast!

About the issue: A message to space has been heard and answered, but what has come to Earth isn’t what anyone would expect! As cosmic visitors begin to be revealed to the world, a deadly battle begins — and three ordinary people are caught up in it.
