Not a dream, not an imaginary story, not an elseworld. This is Flash Fact: When Barry Allen wakes at his desk, he discovers the world has changed. Family is alive, loved ones are strangers and close friends are different, gone or worse. It's a world on the brink of a cataclysmic war--but where are Earth's Greatest Heroes to stop it?

It's a place where America's last hope is Cyborg, who intends to gather the forces of the Outsider, the Secret 7, Shazam, Citizen Cold and other new and familiar—yet altered--faces! It's a world that could be running out of time, if the Flash can't find the villain who altered the timeline! Collects FLASHPOINT #1-5.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Geoff Johns is an award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, film and television producer, showrunner, and entrepreneur known for re-imagining superheroes and other iconic mythologies, past and present. Johns is best known for his work on properties such as Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash, Superman, Batman, Justice Society of America, and most recently, the creator-owned hit series Geiger, currently being adapted for television at Paramount.

Since the beginning of his creative career, Johns' hallmark has been writing heroic and inclusive characters, including teenage hero Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl, inspired by his real-life late sister; the Shazam Family, which he re-imagined into a diverse modern family of today; and the first Arab-American Green Lantern, Simon Baz, as well as the explosive multi-colored Lantern mythology that defined his decade-long bestselling Green Lantern run, among many, many others.

Johns’ most recognized work in television is the critically acclaimed Stargirl series which he created and ran. Some of his film credits include Wonder Woman (executive producer), Wonder Woman 1984 (also co-writer), Aquaman (also story) and Shazam! (executive producer), based on his graphic novel with longtime collaborator and modern legendary artist Gary Frank.

In 2023, Johns co-founded Ghost Machine, the first-of-its-kind creator-owned company. This groundbreaking collective includes some of the industry’s most legendary writers and artists, disrupting the old industry model by giving ownership to its creators, and paving the way for them to retain creative control and financial participation.

Born in Detroit to a Lebanese father, Johns was honored with his own permanent section at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

Snapped my humerus in half and needed surgery. I didn't want to watch TV the whole time so I decided to catch up on some reading. I live in the middle of no where and there isn't a comic shop anywhere. I was a comic addict before I got married. I guess this means I fell off the wagon. Oh well. Funny and great story. The book arrived quickly and in great condition. It helped while I was on the mend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brave New World
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

In 2011, every DC Comics fan was told of a major event happening in that a massive reboot of the entire DC Universe was going to occur and that it would all be in part to the a storyline guided by the character of Barry Allen/The Flash.

With the last major story having been the Blackest Night and the Brightest Day, Flashpoint would be the last actual story of the Post-Crisis DC Universe. All in part to the machinations of the Flash.

Barry Allen finds the world that he had known before has changed from how had remembered. With Barry Allen having been dead for years and then resurrected his memories become muddled. For he is not just risen but also his futuristic rival Eobard Thawne/The Reverse Flash. Barry realizes that his power in tapping the speed force has it so that he cannot change the past, Eobard's power with the negative speed force is different in that change has happened. With Eobard having harmed Barry's own family. This in turn causes Barry to try his hardest to change it back. Unfortunately he wakes up to a world far worse than he could have known.

A world in which he would have saved the life of his family but his friends either fail to become heroes or become villains. As this story goes on for Barry attempting to change back the world to the way it was before it was changed, he races against time as the rest of the world goes on to its eventual destruction.

Barry wakes up to a world in which he never became the Flash and the Justice League doesn't exist. The change in the timeline caused Superman's spaceship to veer off course and destroy Metropolis. While Abin Sur wasn't overcome by fear and had survived, while Hal Jordan continued to remain an ordinary pilot. Aquaman and Wonder Woman had become the respective monarchs of their kingdom only to have a torrid affair that would make the Trojan War look like a seedy talk-show special as the world plunges into war that will lead to its annihilation. Basically only three heroes dominate in this world. Shazam's power is not in the hands of a sole participant but in five children who become the mighty Captain Thunder, basically its Captain Marvel only as a hive mind, with Billy Batson, Mary Batson, Freddy Freeman, etc. Victor Stone/Cyborg who is more noble and courageous than he ever was as a Teen Titan. And Batman, only not Bruce Wayne but Thomas Wayne, because this is a world in which Joe Chill's bullets hit Bruce Wayne and not Thomas and Martha.

Barry knows the world is in danger and no matter how great it is to have his family whole he knows that whatever must be done to restore the timeline is what matter. So he finds Thomas Wayne/Batman as they unite to turn Barry into the Flash and attempt to save the world.

I must say this truly was a great story and I have to admit its great, but the problem with it is that its too good. So much of this alternate timeline is a great read that I want to know more about it. Thankfully DC knows how popular this story was an created a 'World of Flashpoint' miniseries. I also have to say that I'm almost ashamed of Barry's actions leading up to Flashpoint. But I am glad he sees the error of his ways. Without a doubt one of the best things is Thomas Wayne as Batman. I would love it so much if he were depicted like this one day.

Plus for better or worse, this story gives birth to a fresh new direction into DC Comics... The New 52 Universe. Thank You Mr. Geoff Johns. A

Man, what happened?

I know that makes my review appear to be negative, but it isn't. I loved Andy's artwork since he took over X-Men from Jim Lee in the 90's. That's when I was first introduced to him. At first, I refused to buy anymore X-Men after Jim Lee left, but after looking at the cover by Andy, his style eventually started to peak my interest. So I caved in and got an issue and couldn't stop. He has such a distinct drawing style that I always knew it was him right from the comic book cover alone. I didn't even need to see his initials. His drawing of people's faces and hands were always special. Anyways, my reason for the question relates to his drawing style. It appears to have changed over the years and I feel I can no longer spot comic book covers drawn by him as I previously did.

Comic book artists and their unique style is always ever evolving. It's understandable to try new things, new techniques, new facial expressions etc. Those are great things to experiment with. I love this trade paperback and his artwork is truly beautiful, but it's missing that certain something that made me fall in love with his earlier pieces of art. There are certain characters in this book such as female characters and I'm shocked by the way he draws them compared to his X-Men days. Granted, the female characters in the book aren't superheroes, but that doesn't mean they should be drawn with less detail and beauty as if they are irrelevant. Not everyone can be Jean Grey, Storm, or Rogue. I like the way he draws female characters and I miss that about him and thought I could find more of that here, but it's not here. Regardless, the book is great. I brought it for his artwork so I can't comment on the plot and honestly I could care less about the plot. Only got this for pure Andy. Thank god he draws the entire book and there aren't any guest artists cause I would have been even more LIVID!!!! Now I can spend all day admiring his technique and talent.
