FLASHPOINT FRIDAY: “Unite and follow me as one great force and the whole of Calcutta can be ours.”

Michael Desai is as ruthless in his personal life as he is in the business world. A look back into his origins shows how he took over the crime scene in India and set up the power base he has today. But when Teth-Adam launches an attack to get rid of him, Michael will have to eliminate his nemesis. Can The Outsider’s powers overrule Shazam’s? And even if he does win his battle, will it truly be over?

FLASHPOINT: THE OUTSIDER #2 comes from the creative team of James Robinson, Javi Fernandez and The Hories, and arrives in stores next week.

FLASHPOINT FRIDAY: Introducing Michael Desai

flashpoint-logo_whiteMichael Desai is a little bit of everything. He’s corporate. He’s elegant. He’s ruthless. He’s a survivor. He’s more dangerous than anyone knows. He is The Outsider.

We caught up with the miniseries’ writer, James Robinson about what it was like to create this new and multi-layered character:

“It's exciting to be working on one of the Flashpoint books, especially one featuring Michael Desai, the Outsider -- businessman, meta-human and villain combined -- who's a never-before-seen character that I hope readers enjoy meeting for the first time. It's definitely fun to write a character with no morals and a love of tea and tailored suits. In all those regards he reminds me of myself.”

Head over to COMIC BOOK RESOURCES to view exclusive preview pages. THE OUTSIDER #1, written by James Robinson and with art by Javi Fernandez, hits stores next week.
