NEW SERIES ARTIST TONY DANIEL PENCILS THE FLASH: THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE #11

Acclaimed artist Tony Daniel (TEEN TITANS) steps in to
pencil THE FLASH: THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE #11 (FEB070274), written by
Marc Guggenheim and inked by Art Thibert. Daniel will remain on THE
FLASH as the new series penciller.

In this story, called “Full Throttle,” the top Rogues are united by one voice to take down the Flash - but who is it?

“I’m looking forward to working on THE FLASH with Marc Guggenheim, who
I think is a very gifted and unique up-and-coming writer destined for
big success,” says Daniel. “I’ve always been a huge Bart Allen fan and
The Flash is one of the most recognized DC icons. ‘A’ game, here I
come!”

Also, DC Comics has added a variant cover by Daniel to issue #11, which
retailers will receive in a split of approximately 50/50 with the
solicited cover by Ethan Van Sciver.

THE FLASH: THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE #11 (FEB070274) is solicited in the
February Previews (Volume XVII #2) and is scheduled to arrive in stores
on April 18. Retailers may adjust their orders on this issue through
its Final Order Cutoff date of March 29.

Busiek, with art by Mike Manley & Bret Blevins and a cover by James
Fry & Rodney Ramos. This issue looks at someone who’s popped in and

than time itself! This issue is scheduled to arrive in stores on March
28. Retailers may adjust orders on it through the Final Order Cutoff

NEAL ADAMS TEAMS WITH FRANK MILLER FOR BATMAN - NEWSARAMA

NEAL ADAMS TEAMS WITH FRANK MILLER FOR BATMAN

---

In
talking with ComicMix’s Mike Raub, Neal Adams confirmed not only that
he is working with Frank Miller on a Batman project, but moreso, the
title of the miniseries is Batman: Odyssey, and will run,
according to Adams, between six and eight issues. Adams created, plots,
and pencils (and inks issues #1-#2), while Miller is scripting. Adams
reportedly had the full pencils and inks on display at the New York
Comic Con.

“Essentially, it’s sort of an epic story of Batman,” Adams said on the ComicMix podcast
(at roughly 2:00 in). “Frank Miller has agreed to dialogue it for me,
and I’m probably going to ink a couple of the books, but we’re going to
get some other inkers to do it who’ve sort of been champing at the bit
to ink my stuff over the years, and now they’re going to get their shot.

“In my mind, it was going to be six issues, but I really can’t make it
less than eight issues, so I’m going to do eight issues, even if I have
to do two for free – I’m just kidding.”

When asked for more information on, or a confirmation of the series by Newsarama, DC declined comment.

Miller and Adams had long been rumored to be working together on some Batman project, though speculation most recently ran towards Adams penciling the second arc of All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder.
