Major Relaunch (Again) Set for Summer 2012?

[xBarryxAllenx]

At ECCC, Dan Didio and Jim Lee made a major announcement regarding this summer's "Big Event". Pandora DOES play a major part in the storyline, which resets the entire DC Universe yet again. "When the Pandora Effect hits the heroes of the Multiverse, everything as you know it is at risk...including the lives of every character we have".

According to rumors sweeping the convention floor, Barry Allen will be permanently hobbled during the event, able only to access the speed force in terms of his "advance cognition" ability. Jay Garrick will cross over from Earth 2 and take on the mantle of The Flash for the Gem Cities, only to meet his demise at the hands of a new and re-imagined Reverse Flash.

This brings the return of....Max Mercury! And, what is (for now) being termed the New 52 (a)!

Yes, Max is coming back and by Fall 2012 will become the Flash of the New 52(a) Earth. As for Wally? Dan still refuses to recognize this question, only saying "I never heard of him. Is that a question?".

More developments to be announced soon.......as in the fact that this post is being written on April Fool's Day (and yes, everything is fake except for Dan's attitude toward Wally)...

You scamp ;D

You know, I rarely have anyone pay a lot of attention to my Tumblr...but when I posted this story over there I had more reblogs for that one post than all my other posts combined. That was a LOT of fun...though I promise no more fake posts....at least until NEXT April Fool's Day.

I hear that, sometimes I'm really surprised by what interests people and what they reblog. It was a joke that was just weird enough to be confusing and just grounded enough in reality to be somewhat believable, so it worked!

.....I was getting so depressed I almost starting crying.....of course I'm only 16 days behind April Fools Day and I didn't notice the date!

What's great is that with all the stuff that DC is/has done with their Universe.....I would believe they would try all of that!
