Flashpoint (Single Issues) #Companion
Flashpoint Companion
When Barry Allen wakes at his desk, he discovers the world has changed. Family is alive, loved ones are strangers, and close friends are different, gone or worse. It's a world on the brink of a cataclysmic war - but where are Earth's Greatest Heroes to stop it? It's a place where America's last hope is Cyborg, who hopes to gather the forces of The Outsider, The Secret 7, SHAZAM!, Citizen Cold and other new and familiar-yet-altered faces! It's a world that could be running out of time, if The Flash can't find the villain who altered the time line!

Ok. Well, I see why DC was giving this one away.
I've had it sitting on my Kindle for a while now, but I never bothered to look at it till last night when I needed something to go with my chips 'n salsa.
I mean, I knew it would be short, but this was ridiculous.
Maybe 5 or six pages of 'story' in this thing?
And then a whole bunch of covers.
Basically, it just gives a Super-Fast (*chortle*) origin story for Barry.
Believe me, nobody loves free shit more than I do, but this isn't worth downloading, in my opinion.

What do expect when it's FREE
I know this was just a preview of the story... A short really. But there was no story there. Just tells you a little bit about how Barry became the Flash & then a bunch of pictures afterward. But I guess that's what you get when you get something for free.

A collection of covers
Not much to this - very slight introduction (couple of pages) to Flashpoint and the Flash, along with a bunch of covers from Flashpoint and the tie-ins. The covers look good, though!

Art is pretty, but I'm not sure how this is a companion as opposed to an advertisement.

The art was nice but there was only 2 pages of text and none of it added anything I didn’t already know.

Not a real comic book - a series of pictures about the Flash and his world.

Superhero Flash Art Work
Does not have a story line, but a lot of art work. Many of the art pieces are very good.

Not what is advertised
I am a big fan of the flashpoint story and concept, so seeing a "flashpoint companion" really excited me. Now luckily this book is free, but this is not at all a companion to flashpoint. This is 2 pages of Barry Allen and who the flash is, the only thing that it has to do with Flashpoint is that after the 2 pages is a bunch of various comic covers from the flashpoint story line (I.e. superman, batman, joker, green arrow...etc.). This book (if you would call it that) is for those who don't know who the flash is and wants to see a bunch of covers (I'd who those people are but there may be a few). I'm so glad this was free because I would have been very upset if I had paid for this.

Very little to review
It is essentially a gallery of covers with a splash page advertising the 'Flashpoint' event and a two page primer on who The Flash is. Hey, it's free.
