![]() ![]() – Sheridan and Adams had pitched an event to DC that they thought wouldn’t get OK’d, but that conversation led to talking about “Flashpoint.” Johns mentioned that Risso is one of the few artists that he’s wanted to work with, but hasn’t yet. ![]() – Risso is returning to Thomas Wayne after the “Batman: Knight of Vengeance” miniseries from the original “Flashpoint” event. The IGN piece has a number of quotes from the writers about the series, but some of the more interesting tidbits are: Whether this is a one-time return or if this will signal Johns having a more prominent place in the creative makeup of DC going forward remains to be seen. He had some short pieces and co-writes in the “Infinite Frontier” #0 story and a few of the “Dark Night: Death Metal” anthologies, but this is the first newly solicited Johns work in some time. ![]() Johns has been a somewhat absent figure at DC for some time now, most recently writing the “Stargirl Spring Break Special” last year and finishing up his much delayed “Doomsday Clock” and “Batman: Three Jokers” series in 20, respectively. “Flashpoint Beyond” is a direct sequel that deals with Thomas Wayne and a new villain called ‘the Clockwork Killer.’ The series will debut on April 5 with the #0 issue, with #1 hitting stores two weeks later. While Thomas Wayne, the “Flashpoint” Batman, has been around DC more or less consistently for the past five years, the original event concluded in 2011 with the birth of the New 52. ![]()
