Ok, so before the lights go out and DC relaunches all of their characters in a few weeks, they are giving us a great set of stories called "Flashpoint". It's sort of an alternate reality where Barry Allen(Flash) is the only one who notices that changes have been made to the universe. Of course, when I saw a Flashpoint for Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Superman I got a little overwhelmed and thought this was just a quick marketing ploy before DC relaunches and continuity is changed. I got to reading some Flashpoint and let me tell you, it's not cheap at all. What if Batman was Thomas Wayne and Bruce was the one who died in that alleyway on the fateful night? Hal Jordan never received the ring? Wonder Woman and Aquaman are at war? Some believe that some of what happens in Flashpoint will carry over into the relaunch. That remains to be seen. However, at this point, I love the storytelling and am anticipating the last issue in a few weeks. Great work DC! If you're a comic book fan, don't miss out on Flashpoint and the relaunch!!!
