About this series
Flashpoint is DC Comics' 2011 event, written by Geoff Johns with art by Andy Kubert: the Flash wakes up in an alternate reality where his mother is alive but the world he knew is unrecognizable — heroes are missing or transformed, and a war between Amazons and Atlanteans is tearing the world apart. This entry collects the core miniseries; the companion "World of Flashpoint" volumes explore how individual heroes fare in the altered timeline, and Flashpoint Beyond (2022) is a later sequel.
