With the general popularity of the Flash TV series and the potential for a lot more exposure in the next few years with a standalone Flash film in the works with a different cast, your average person is getting a lot of material thrown at them regarding a slate of characters that have been around for quite a few decades. And because there is so much material there’s a lot of stories that even many fans have never read or forgotten about. I didn’t start reading Flash books until after Crisis on Infinite Earths, where the silver age Flash had perished and made way for Wally West, which was the Flash that I essentially spent most of my time reading. I’ve had a lot of back issues since then and reading material after that as well.
DC Comics has put together a pretty fun four-minute piece that digs into a number of other stories that aren’t the most well-known that are ones that should be read. The Firing Line story is one that definitely interests me with its use of the Blackhawks.
Now, if only DC Comics worked with their ComiXology titles to offer these up in bundles when these kinds of lists come out so fans can grab them easily and do a little extra marketing.
