DC Comics has announced that the last issue in its 5-part Flashpoint miniseries will be the only DC title that will arrive in comic book stores on August 31st, 2011. The 40-page, $3.99 final issue of the key series in the mega-crossover will be DC’s only release that week “because of its impact on the DC Universe.”

 

As DC put it on its The Source blog, “The war between the Amazons and the Atlantians has arrived. The battles between Diana of Themsycira and Emperor Aquaman will tear the world apart--unless The Flash can fix it.”

 

Flashpoint #5 is written by Geoff Johns with art by Andy Kubert and Sandra Hope. Kubert and Hope are both providing covers and DC will release a 1:25 Black and White Variant of Cover A by Kubert along with an additional variant cover by Rags Morales.

 

The penultimate book in the series, Flashpoint #4, will ship on August 3rd. It should be noted that there will be four ship days in August in addition to August 31st and four in September as well.
