I'm still leading up to "The Return of Bruce Wayne" in my paperback reading, but I do have the full Flash series digitally ($0.99 sale!) so I might skip ahead, read that, and then Flashpoint. That will bring me up with The New 52 that I've been reading, and then I can go back to waiting on the Bruce Wayne/Brightest Day tie-in softcovers (I got the main BD series on another $0.99 sale).<br /><br />Hardest part for me now is not reading the new Green Lantern books because I'm probably a LONG way away for all the GL books (up through War of the Green Lanterns) to come out in softcover...D.

Looking forward to the Flashpoint review, although I generally just skim the start and end of your reviews of books that I haven't read yet, to see if it's a positive or negative (then go back and read them once I read the book). Because I'm reading the New 52 digitally, I was considering picking up the Flashpoint hardcover, rather than wait for the paperback, as it seems like some of this "alternate-reality" Flashpoint is in fact the new reality (like Green Arrow, I believe?), and I don't think skipping past Return of Bruce Wayne and Brightest Day will really come into play for Flashpoint. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Is Flashpoint largely self-contained, or is something like Brightest Day a recommended read for it?<br /><br />Regarding the Flash, I haven't read the new series yet (wanted to read this Geoff Johns series first), but I'm really hoping that it's a return to fine form for the Flash franchise.D.
