In that case, I don't really like the idea. I don't know if it's good or not though...

What's it about?

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 penciled by Andy Kubert.
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 timeline and the altered one, including Cyborg's place as the quintessential hero, Superman's apparent detention by the government, and a Thomas Wayne version of Batman who spends "his days running Wayne Casinos."[1]
Consisting of a five-issue run, the series also crossed over with Booster Gold, sixteen three-issue miniseries, and a number of one-shots beginning in June 2011.[2] DC also announced that Flash #12 would be the last in the series; a thirteenth issue had been announced for sale on May 25, 2011, but had since been withdrawn

Wikipedia: there's no problem with posting this in a forum, is there?

Anyway, it feels like a good idea to me at first, but I don't know. It doesn't sound that good when I think about it.

I don't think there's a problem with posting things from Wikipedia.

And I feel the same way about the comic.

I've only read the Traci 13 ones.

Just curious...is there any place online were you can read comics?

Yeah, it was. It was his first and only post though .

As far as I know, there's no place for that. Not for free at least.

You can download some of them from torrent sites, and use comicbookreader to read them.

You could always go to your local comic book store, so you can read the comics LEGALLY. Just a suggestion.

Did you think that maybe...just maybe there's no such thing as "local comic book store" around here?Comics aren't that big of a deal in my country.Not at all in fact.

Thanks.I'll probably start during the weekend.
Do have any suggestion with what comic I should start with?

There aren't any comic stores here either. There's a book store that happens to also sell graphic novels but no comic store. Comics aren't a big deal at all here either.

It depends on your taste but Watchmen's pretty good.

I have been thinking of V for Vendetta and some Milestone ones.

V for Vendetta and Watchmen, both by Alan Moore, are brilliant. I've heard his other works are good too, like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell and Batman: The Killing Joke.

Yeah,I know about the common writer.
I'm sort-of a half-fan.Haven't read his stuff but I like most of it.

Same . I've only read a few of his stuff.

I try to avoid events. All though I have jumped on a few titles in dc's new 52.

I downloaded some of the new Batman's just now after hearing so much praise for it. Scott Snyder did a great job, it's actually really good. It's up there in my favorite Batman stories.

I might even read Snyder's other stuff too. I hear the next story will be about Joker so that should be good.

I've heard of it
Flashpoint
sounds really good
another multiverse is it?
