Hey nerds! ibpimpin here and I’m coming to you with the first edition of “What You Should Be Reading Wednesdays”. Today we take a look at Flashpoint. The summer DC blockbuster that’s going to transform the entire DC universe. Literally. They’re gonna start everything over with a new #1, de-age some characters and change some origins. But that’s a subject for another edition.<\/p>\n

In Flashpoint, Geoff (everything I touch turns to gold)\u00a0Johns of Green Lantern fame and Andy Kubert weave an elseworld tale both exciting and visually titillating (see what I did there).\u00a0Geoff never misses a beat with his fluid and compelling story telling, and with just two issues in he has set up a cast of intriguing versions of classic DC characters. All the while giving a jaw dropping ending to both issues. That’s not all, Super star artist Andy Kubert has once again shown why he’s one of the best. His ability to show so much action in every panel is only surpassed by his attention to detail. Seeing his art makes one realize that’s how you’re suppose to draw superheros.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How about the story?\u00a0 What’s it about?\u00a0 Well think\u00a0of it\u00a0as Back to the Future\u00a0with\u00a0The Flash as\u00a0Marty McFly and Batman as Doc. That should make you\u00a0feel\u00a0a lil’ nerdy.\u00a0Seemingly it\u00a0isn’t these plot elements that make it so bad ass. It’s the elseworld theme that\u00a0does it. In it\u00a0you have Emperor Aqua Man who has sunk half of\u00a0Europe in attempts to win a war against Wonder Woman and the Amazons.\u00a0All the while, a band of heroes and villains try to recruit Batman in an attempt to save the world from both of them. Only it isn’t Bruce Wayne (you figure out\u00a0who it is), he died that night in Crime alley. This is the world\u00a0The Flash has awaken to. He’s gonna need the help from Batman to get his\u00a0powers back and change the world back to\u00a0the way it was.<\/p>\n

So far it’s a solid book from end to end. But “everything can change in a flash” and will when the series is over. If you wanna know how everything at DC changed (or will change in Sept.) then this is the story. And that is why you should be reading it Wednesdays.
