This April DC Comics will return to the world of Flashpoint with a brand new story from original writer Geoff Johns and artist Eduardo Lisso. The new story will find Batman seeking the help of some unlikely allies as he tries to unravel a story involving a world that should not exist.
The publisher has released the first five pages of issue #0, also confirming they will be included as a backup in comics being released on March 29 and April 5.
Batman has some questions. “Why is Deathstroke not acting like Deathstroke?” and “What’s Beyond the Omniverse?” To help him find the answers, he turns to the two people that you never turn to for help, Mime and Marionette. The two fan favorite characters from Doomsday Clock return in a preview of the first five pages of Flashpoint Beyond #0, which will be available in all DC periodicals on March 29 and April 5. The 48-page Flashpoint Beyond #0, written by Geoff Johns (Doomsday Clock) and featuring artwork by Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets), kicks off the six issue Flashpoint Beyond event.
Take a look at the full preview below:
“Collaborating with Eduardo has been a dream my entire career,” said writer Geoff Johns. “The chance to work on a story with such an iconic and legendary artist, centered around the troubled Thomas Wayne, made returning to the world of Flashpoint and its vengeful Batman special. Our goal was to create an event that’s every bit as emotional as it is epic, not only revealing the how’s and why’s of Thomas Wayne’s returning timeline but what it means to the past, present and future of Bruce Wayne and DC. We hope readers enjoy the ride.”
After sacrificing everything to help The Flash put the universe back together and save Bruce Wayne’s life, Thomas Wayne wakes up in a world he thought was no more. Forced to don the cowl once again, Batman prowls the streets of Gotham City searching for answers to how this world still exists, but what he starts to uncover will send him hurtling around the globe. The hunt for the Clockwork Killer starts here!
“Embarking on a new journey with the caped crusader is always a challenge, but working with Geoff has made the whole process a true delight,” said artist Eduard Risso. “I’m certain that if audiences all around the world have as much fun reading it as I had drawing it, they’re in for one hell of a ride.”
The five page preview will be available in all DC periodicals releasing on March 39 and April 5. Flashpoint Beyond #0 will be available at local comic book stores and digital retailers on April 5, 2022. A new issue in the mini-series will come out every two weeks, starting with Flashpoint Beyond #1 on April 19.
Fans can read all of the issues of the original Flashpoint, including the comics that led to the timeline changing event (The Flashh #8-12), as part of their paid DC UNIVERSE INFINITE subscription.
