This is a very exciting season and I’m impatient to get back to the main plot, but this episode went a long way to overcome that. In fact, it may be one of the greatest single episodes in ther series’ history.

Spoilers then, now and later.

DC Comics’ big summer crossover, Flashpoint, began today and out of the gate it’s showing a lot of potential. There’s an element of mystery to go along with the strange new world we’re seeing and some intriguing redesigns for DC’s heroes. After the disappointing finish to Brightest Day, having this book on the shelf is a welcome sight as creators Geoff Johns, Andy Kubert and Sandra Hope are off to a strong start.

We’re going to spoil plot points for the issue and series here.
