DC Comics has announced that the last issue in its 5-part Flashpoint miniseries will be the only DC title that will arrive in comic book stores on August 31st, 2011. The 40-page, $3.99 final issue of the key series in the mega-crossover will be DC’s only release that week “because of its impact on the DC Universe.”

Flashpoint #5 is a book I won't be ordering from DCBS.   I'm going to pick it up at the LCS, I have no desire to be dodging spoilers on the internet for the 6-days it takes my weekly-shipped books to make their way to me (let alone the delay for people with bi-weekly or monthly shipping).   Well worth the $1.60 discount I'll miss out on.

This is actually interesting. See if they can pay it off though.

I get all my event-type books at the LCS for just this reason.  I thought #1 was okay.  It really just drove home that I'm not very steeped in DC lore because I didn't appreciate how cool these alt-versions of the DCU characters were.  I just kind felt like I wasn't in on the joke.  And I thought the art was inconsistent (not terrible...it just varied from page to page).

Still....its only a 5 issue series, so that's a pretty low commitment if something neat might happen.

In related news, Marvel gets curious DC readers to try their books because DC only published one.
