flashpoint: deathstroke and the curse of the ravager

“If you don’t surrender, she will be killed immediately.”

When a mysterious metahuman named Jenny Blitz saves The Ravager and its crew from a fleet of enemy ships, Deathstroke takes her aboard. As the crew learns of their captain’s plans of splitting the treasure they’re looking for with Jenny, they decide to break out into mutiny. While Deathstroke and Jenny fight for their lives and control of The Ravager, they’ll also have to figure out how to get Deathstroke’s daughter, Rose, back from the clutches of The Caretaker. But when Jenny reveals more about her origins, Deathstroke realizes that he may have just found himself the perfect pawn to play in the lethal battle against his enemy.

FLASHPOINT: DEATHSTROKE AND THE CURSE OF THE RAVAGER #3 by Jimmy Palmiotti, Tony Shasteen and Alex Massacci, sails into stores next week.

FLASHPOINT FRIDAY: “We have to move from here as soon as we dignify our dead.”

While en route to an undisclosed location in Norway, The Ravager is attacked by Aquaman and his army. As his crew is brutally massacred before his eyes, Deathstroke must struggle to fight for his own life before continuing the hunt for his treasure. And with the influx of enemies continuing to roll in, Deathstroke might require a little help to get his mission back on track. But who will be the one providing it?

Written by Jimmy Palmiotti and featuring art by Joe Bennett, Tony Shasteen and The Hories, FLASHPOINT: DEATHSTROKE AND THE CURSE OF THE RAVAGER #2 sails into stores next week.

FLASHPOINT TUESDAY

(FLASHPOINT #3 variant cover by Ivan Reis and George Perez)

Regular readers of THE SOURCE have most likely noticed the absence of FLASHPOINT FRIDAYS over the course of the past two weeks, as we unveiled titles from the upcoming launch of the new DC Universe. Not to worry, FLASHPOINT FRIDAY returns this Friday as a regular, weekly feature on the blog and today we’ll have a special Tuesday edition, including previews of several of this Wednesday’s FLASHPOINT releases.

And if you haven’t already picked up some of the recently released FLASHPOINT mini series and are curious to get a sneak peek at them, check out these exclusive previews: Newsarama showed a first look at BOOSTER GOLD #45 and FLASHPOINT: CITIZEN COLD #1. MTV Geek previewed FLASHPOINT: DEATHSTROKE AND THE CURSE OF THE RAVAGER, along with an interview with Jimmy Palmiotti. Wired’s GEEKDAD debuted pages from FLASHPOINT: EMPEROR AQUAMAN #1, and iFANBOY had a sneak peek at FLASHPOINT: FRANKENSTEIN & THE CREATURES OF THE UNKNOWN #1.

And if you’re a digital reader, be sure to check out FLASHPOINT #1, now available as a digital comic, and find out for yourself why BLASTR calls the FLASHPOINT series, “shocking and compelling,” and “one of the best event series in recent memory.”

FLASHPOINT FRIDAY: A Map of the World of Flashpoint

In a world where everything you know will change in a flash, it might help to have a map. Luckily for us, thanks to writer Rex Ogle and artist Freddie E. Williams II, readers now have just that: a map of the world of FLASHPOINT.

The United Kingdom? That’s now New Themsycira, home base to the Amazons.

Pirate Trade Routes? You’ll see those explored in FLASHPOINT issue 2 and FLASHPOINT: DEATHSTROKE AND THE CURSE OF THE RAVAGER.

Inspired by this map, today’s edition of FLASHPOINT FRIDAY will provide a look at the world building of FLASHPOINT. Check back throughout the day for interviews about the global conflict at the heart of the story.

In the meantime, take another look at that map. Euro-Refugee Camps? A Nazi occupied Brazil? A World Without the World’s Greatest Superheroes certainly turned out differently.
