DESCRIPTION (from Wikipedia):

"Flashpoint" is an American comic book crossover story arc published by
DC Comics. Consisting of an eponymous core limited series and a number
of tie-in titles, the storyline premiered in May 2011. The core
miniseries series was written by Geoff Johns and pencilled by Andy
Kubert. In its conclusion, the series radically changes the status quo
for DC Universe leading into the publisher's 2011 relaunch, The New 52.

The series details an altered DC Universe in which only Barry Allen, Kid
Flash and Booster Gold seem to be aware of significant differences
between the regular time-line and the altered one, including Cyborg's
place as the world's quintessential hero, Superman's detention by the
government and a Thomas Wayne version of Batman who spends "his days
running Wayne Casinos."

Consisting of a five-issue run, the series crossed over with Booster
Gold, sixteen separate three-issue miniseries, and a number of one-shots
beginning in June 2011. DC announced that Flash #12 would be the last in
the series; a thirteenth issue had been announced for sale on May 25,
2011, but was withdrawn.

SYNOPSIS:

Barry Allen wakes up to discover he is in an altered time-line in which
Citizen Cold is Central City's greatest hero; his mother Nora (deceased
in his own time-line) is alive; his father, Henry, died of a heart attack
three years ago (instead of in prison); and that the Flash, the Justice
League, and Superman do not exist. In Gotham City, Batman throws a
criminal off a building before being confronted by Cyborg. Cyborg and
Batman have a conference with a group of superheroes to discuss how the
battle between Aquaman's Atlanteans and Wonder Woman's Amazons has
caused massive death and destruction in Western Europe (sunk by the
Atlanteans, except for the British Isles, which were conquered by the
Amazons), with America similarly endangered. The heroes cannot cooperate
to find a solution, and the meeting is disbanded. Barry Allen drives to
the Batcave where Batman, who is revealed to be Thomas Wayne, attacks
him — his son, Bruce, has died in his and his wife's place in this
time-line.

In the flooded remains of Paris, Deathstroke captains a pirate ship in
search of his daughter. Emperor Aquaman appears, stabs Deathstroke in
the chest and attacks Deathstroke's crew (Sonar, Icicle, and Clayface).
Sonar is able to remove a piece of the trident from Deathstroke's chest
and heal him. Back at Wayne Manor, Barry tries to explain to Thomas
about his secret identity as the Flash and his relationship to Bruce
Wayne. Barry's memory begins to spontaneously realign itself to the
altered time-line and Barry realizes that the world of Flashpoint is not
an alternate dimension, but his own. Barry's ring ejects Professor
Eobard "Zoom" Thawne's Reverse-Flash costume and causes Barry to believe
that his enemy is responsible for changing history. Barry decides to
recreate the accident that gave him his powers in a bid to undo the
damage caused by Thawne, but his initial attempt leaves him badly
burned.

In London, Steve Trevor is waiting at a rendezvous for Lois Lane but is
attacked by Wonder Woman and the Amazons. Wonder Woman catches him by
the neck with her Lasso of Truth and begins interrogating him. He
explains that he was hired to extract Lane from New Themyscira because
she was sent to gather information on the Amazons for Cyborg. The U.S.
president informs Cyborg that Steve Trevor sent a signal to the
Resistance but was intercepted because of a traitor among the heroes
that Cyborg tried to recruit. Cyborg is relieved of duty as Element
Woman sneaks into the headquarters. Meanwhile in New Themyscira, Lane
encounters the Resistance.

A second attempt at recreating Allen's accident restores his powers and
health. He concludes that the Reverse-Flash changed history to prevent
the formation of the Justice League. He also learns that Kal-El was
taken by Project: Superman. Flash, Batman and Cyborg join the cause to
stop Wonder Woman and Aquaman. The three find a pale, weakened Superman
at the Project and realize that he may well have been in a containment
cell since he was a child—possibly never even seeing a human being
before. After being rescued, Superman flies off in seeming fright in the
midst of a battle with the guards, leaving the three in the sewers to be
rescued by Element Woman. Flash's memories continue to change.

The president announces Cyborg's failure to unite the world's
superheroes and the U.S. entry into the Atlantean/Amazon war. Flash,
Batman, Cyborg and Element Woman break down the door in need of the
Marvel Family's help and Batman asks Billy to use his lightning to
prevent Flash's memories from changing even further. The group hears of
the failed air assault on England due to the Amazons' Invisible Plane
air force. Hal Jordan is the first casualty, and a giant
Atlantean-generated tidal wave threatens the rest of New Themyscira.
Flash tells Batman that if he fails to stop Thawne, the world will
destroy itself. Despite reservations, Batman joins Flash as the group
heads off to New Themyscira. Enchantress joins them en route. Wonder
Woman and Aquaman are fighting one-on-one until Flash and his team
arrive.

The Marvel Family transform into Captain Thunder, also transforming
Tawky Tawny. Captain Thunder attacks Wonder Woman and appears to be
winning until Enchantress reveals herself as the Amazon spy in the
Resistance and uses her magic to restore the Marvel Family to their
mortal forms. Penthesilea (who was secretly one of the conspirators of
the Atlanteans-Amazons war, along with Orm) kills Billy Batson, causing
a massive explosion that cripples the opposing forces.

In the wake of the devastation, Thawne appears in front of Flash. The
Reverse-Flash reveals to Allen that he himself inadvertently created the
Flashpoint time-line after he travelled back in time to stop the former
from killing his mother. Barry pulled the entire Speed Force into
himself to stop Thawne, transforming the time-line by shattering the
history of his allies. Thawne resets Barry's internal vibrations,
enabling him to remember this. According to Thawne, these actions
transformed him into a living paradox, no longer requiring Barry to
exist and allowing him to kill the Flash without erasing his own
existence. Thawne continues to taunt Barry with this knowledge until
Batman kills him. As the fight continues, Superman arrives and begins to
aid the heroes, first by landing hard enough to crush the Enchantress
under his feet. Thomas insists that Barry put history back to normal to
undo the millions of deaths. Meanwhile Cyborg detects seismic activity
which he claims could destroy the world and waves start to approach. Now
knowing the point of divergence, the Flash restores the time-line. As he
enters the time-stream, a dying Thomas thanks him for giving his son a
second chance and gives Barry a letter addressed to Bruce. Barry then
meets with his mother and bids a tearful farewell to her.

Travelling back in time, Barry merges with his younger counterpart during
the attempt to stop Thawne. While travelling through time, Barry realizes
he can see three different time-lines — DC, Vertigo, and Wildstorm. A
mysterious hooded figure (later reveals to be a cursed immortal Pandora)
tells him that the world was split into three to weaken them for an
impending threat, and must now be reunited to combat it. The DC,
Vertigo, and Wildstorm universes are then merged, creating a brand new
DC Universe. Barry then wakes up in a similar manner to the beginning of
Flashpoint, also retaining all his memories from the alternate time-line.
Believing that everything is over, Barry remembers Thomas' letter and
gives it to Bruce, who is still the Batman in this time-line. Bruce,
deeply touched by his father's sacrifice to ensure his son's life, tears
up after reading the letter and expresses gratitude to Barry for
informing him of the events that transpired before the time-line was
reset.



This collection has been painstakingly recreated from existing torrents
that were broken, had missing parts, pages, or other forms of
corruption. All files in this torrent have been personally verified, and
renamed by scraping for accuracy against the Comic Vine online database.
All archives have been recreated from scratch in the CBZ file format
using 7-Zip and the newest zip compression technologies for the smallest
file sizes available at the time of creation. I have also removed
unnecessary sub-folders within the archives that did nothing but make
the archives needlessly larger. The only thing I have added per-CBZ is
this document, and a ComicInfo.xml of scraped metadata from.

I have spent hours tracing through the story-arcs to verify proper
reading- order for the core storyline, any related tie-ins, and
crossovers. Story arcs have been specially numbered according to the
chart listed below.

I have not removed any release group or scanner advertisements, but I
have made certain that none are forced as cover-pages in any of my
releases. Advertisements were renamed when necessary so that they would
be displayed last.

These comics are best displayed in a program like ComicRack, so that you
can take advantage of the metadata that has already been scraped - but
they can be be displayed in any other comic readers.

I take personal pride in my thoroughness. If you find any problems with
my releases, please contact me for corrections:
