Preview Monday: THE FLASH #17 and THE UNWRITTEN #46

Welcome back for another installment of Preview Monday! This week we’re giving you exclusive first looks at THE FLASH #17 and THE UNWRITTEN #46.

After the exciting events of last issue, The Flash has transported himself and Gorilla Grodd into the Speed Force for a final showdown! This month, Barry Allen’s battle with Grodd comes to its bone-crunching conclusion in the finale of “Gorilla Warfare”. Will The Flash be able to defeat Grodd, who now shares the power of the Speed Force? And can Central City survive without the help of the Scarlet Speedster?  Find out in THE FLASH #17, which also features the introduction of one of The Flash’s greatest foes! In stores this Wednesday, THE FLASH #17 comes to you from the creative team of Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue.

Also this week, in the conclusion of “The Corpse Harvest Reiteration,” Richie the Vampire continues to help Detective Didge Patterson in her investigation of a young boy with a wicked imagination. Known as the Corpse Harvest Killer, little Jason Ponticello has created horrifying stories that have real world repercussions. Madame Rausch has a surefire plan to stop the rising body count, but at what price? Find out in THE UNWRITTEN #46, in stores this Wednesday, written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Peter Gross and Dean Ormston. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue.

From the editor's desk: Shelly Bond

Hey! Lucky you. You’re just in time for a Tuesday Tonic! The definition may vary from week to week, but you can be sure that at the very least, it will be “ An invigorating, refreshing, or restorative agent or influence.” and/or “The first note of a diatonic scale; the keynote.” If you stopped by yesterday, you know the official drill. Each Vertigo editor is assigned one day per week to post the most sordid, scandalous, sanctimonious scraps of ephemera that best exploit the inner mechanics of his/her own comic book arena. In other words: If it’s in my proverbial clutches, it’s fair game. HELLBLAZER – New Storyline/New colorist -- Another Season in Hell Exciting news on the HB front. Colorist extraordinaire Brian Buccellato joins the monthly team and brings a verdant grit to the series as writer Milligan and artists Camuncoli, Landini and Bisley drag a none-too-enthusiastic John Constantine down under for “Another Season in Hell.” Check out the double-page spread from issue #287 and tell me that you don’t pity our poor old mage. IZOMBIE #24 – cover sensationalist! Dead President Kennedy takes a walk on the wild side circa the 1970s in this solo adventure. It’s her first job as a zombie secret agent and it’s obvious that cover artist Mike Allred, frontman of the mod rock band, THE GEAR, can wield a Windsor and Newton series 7 #1 ink brush and a 12-string Rickenbacker 360 with equal aplomb! (or a plain old Sharpie and a Gretsch Superaxe with a bigsby whammy in a pinch!) And finally, here’s a note to my loyal, favorite freelancers: If you tried to get me fired, forgot to buy me a birthday present, or missed a deadline (ANY deadline), you had it coming. Shelly Bond Editor--FABLES, HELLBLAZER, iZOMBIE, FAIREST etc, etc.
