Skip this if you’ve already decided to ignore Flashpoint. You made the right choice. Now that we know the whole DCU is being tossed like a salad come September, there seems to be no reason to give DC your money for this crossover event. It won’t explain or give us hints as to the new status quo come September. (I wish I could get my money back for Final Crisis, the first and last “crisis” event I ever bought. STILL BITTER.)
This comes a bit late as Flashpoint started last month. But I had considered reading some of the tie-ins or skimming the main story, and I won’t be doing that now!
Trigger warnings for sexual violence, genocide and misogyny up the wazoo. I mean really. It’s like they thought Amazons Attack was a cool idea that needed expanding. I only got through half of it myself.
