DC Comics reveals “Generation Zero” for Free Comic Book Day 2020

The future of the DC Universe’s new timeline will be explored even further when Free Comic Book Day arrives this May, as DC Comics has revealed via Newsarama that a new one-shot called “Generation Zero” will be released on that day to celebrate and promote the hobby of comic book reading.

As the article states, the lead story of the one-shot will be an epilogue to the Wally West starring “Flash Forward” miniseries, in which the time-displaced Flash and speedster will inherit the powers of Doctor Manhattan via the Mobius Chair. What exactly Wally will do with those powers is anyone’s guess - but it looks like the story teases that he’ll be pulling off a “Zero Hour” (DC fans will know what this means), as the cover to the one shot drawn by artist Francis Manapul shows. DC has constantly teased there will be major changes - and this looks like the start of things following the events of DC Rebirth, Heroes In Crisis, and Doomsday Clock.

The “Generation Zero” one-shot with the Flash Forward epilogue and reprinted story from Wonder Woman #750 will be released on Free Comic Book Day on May 2nd.

Taking a break next week due to the US Elections and setting the stage for more adventures to come in the wake of "Flashpoint", The CW (via SpoilerTV and Comic Book Movie) has released a brand new promotional poster for "The Flash" Season 3 that sees Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) suited up and running with a determined look, with the words "Feel The Rush" just above the title logo.

The Flash: First look of Keiynan Lonsdale as "Kid Flash" for Season 3

With just a week away until San Diego Comic Con and filming for the show already commencing by this point, Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, and The CW have officially revealed the first look at actor Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West... Who is now fully suited up as Kid Flash! Those who remember the latter episodes of Season 2 will know full well that Wally was exposed to energies from the second particle accelerator explosion that Barry Allen tried using to restore his powers... And while that didn't work out, this is most likely the reveal we're going to get once Season 3 pops in.

On the other hand, Barry went to the past at the end of Season 2 and started the whole "Flahspoint" thing which is the title of the first episode of Season 3, so whether Wally comes into the picture later or is a result of any alterations in the timeline is anyone's guess. We'll find out soon enough when The Flash returns this October... For now, read more on the scoop via Entertainment Weekly.

The Flash: Meet your New 52 Wally West... In costume

More of the covers for the September 2014 solicitations for DC Comics titles have gone up online, and one of them reveals for the very first time The New 52 version of Wally West... In full costume!

As part of the new "Future's End" crossover event that sees events within the new DC Universe seeing drastic changes and Batman Beyond coming from the future to change the wrongs of the past, this is just one of the many new reveling covers that shows something fans have been longing for... Wally back and with speed powers anew, though sporting a new costume that is... Different alright.

However, this is a new version of the former Pre-New 52 DC Legacy hero, now an African-American teenager bearing some ties to the Scarlet Speedster's pseudo-love interest, Iris West. Since his official debut in The Flash #30 and his full origin told in The Flash Annual #3, he hasn't exhibited powers... YET. That may all soon change once the months build up to the issue where his new costume s revealed.

Honestly, I still miss the old classic duds... And Wally in Pre-New 52 time.
