FLASHPOINT FRIDAY: First Look at DC Direct FLASHPOINT Action Figures

fridaylogo

From IDENTITY CRISIS and INFINITE CRISIS through BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY, DC Direct has created action figures based on the DC Universe’s biggest events.

Today, we’re unveiling FLASHPOINT action figures based on DC Comics’ superhero publishing event of the summer. DC Direct’s Jim Fletcher, Shawn Knapp, Evan Metcalf, John Santagada, Brian Walters and Bryon Webster have worked closely with FLASHPOINT writer Geoff Johns’ concepts and artist Andy Kubert’s designs to bring you four awesome figures based on characters central to the FLASHPOINT story.

Sculptors Derek Miller (Wonder Woman), Karen Palinko (Batman and Flash) and Jonathan Matthews (Cyborg) have captured the energy and excitement that drives FLASHPOINT. But you don’t have to take my word for it: here’s the exclusive first look at DC Direct’s FLASHPOINT figures.

This Just Happened: One Way or Another, These Things Come to Pass

WARNING: if you hate spoilers, stop reading now.

Remember the scribblings on the blackboard in 52? Well, they're back and in a major way in the final pages of TIME MASTERS: VANISHING POINT issue 6, on sale today.

How important might these mysterious scribblings be?

They lead into the pages of BOOSTER GOLD issue 44... And a comic book we call FLASHPOINT issue 1.

A look at the Blackboard is after the jump. This is your last chance to look away.

Flashpoint Friday: “This isn’t a parallel Earth or a mirror world. This is home.”

flashpoint_fri_white

FLASHPOINT spans the DC Universe from the dark streets of Gotham to the ruins of Big Ben. It’s an international tale of action and intrigue that impacts an entire universe.

Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert and Sandra Hope are creating an epic five issue series, one with a scope so big and ambitious that there will be fifteen mini series expanding on the events, along with several important one shots.

This afternoon we’ll be announcing fourteen mini series’ titles  - and leaving one a mystery for now, along with the one-shots.

This isn’t a parallel Earth.

This isn’t a mirror world.

This is home.

Every year the comic book industry celebrates Free Comic Book Day on the first Saturday of May. Many stores host parties and signings. It's a terrific day for stores to do something special with the fans who shop at comic book stores week in and week out, as well as to reach out to new readers who hear about FCBD. This annual event creates a national stage for all of us, (professionals, creators, retailers and fans), to spread our collective enthusiasm for comic books out into the world at large.

This year, DC will be releasing GREEN LANTERN / FLASHPOINT FCBD 2011 SPECIAL EDITION, a book that most definitely has something for our die hard fans and new readers alike. Without further ado, here's the official solicitation copy:

This is the perfect jumping-on point for new readers who can’t wait to see the “Green Lantern” major motion picture from Warner Bros.! Discover how and why Hal received the power ring that changed his life forever with this reprinting of GREEN LANTERN #30, a pivotal chapter of the Green Lantern: Secret Origin graphic novel.

Headline: Welcome to FLASHPOINT Fridays

Flash Fact: Come back each and every Friday as we build towards the release of FLASHPOINT #1, and for the latest on the DC Universe event of 2011. This story is as ambitious and big as any event in DC history, and there’s much to tell in the weeks and months to come.

We’ll have one more tease for you this morning, then ask you all to come back next Friday.

Since this is an event centered on The Flash, it’s easy to run ahead at full speed in our excitement for the project. Because we have so much to say, we’ll be slowing down the news cycle here for a while.

We know there’s a lot of anticipation and clamoring for art and we can tell you now that Andy Kubert’s work on FLASHPOINT is spectacular, as you’ll see in the weeks to come.

FLASHPOINT #1 goes on sale this May. Can lightning strike twice?
