The Flash: Season Zero

The Flash: Season Zero, also known as The Flash: Zero Year, is a comic book series set between the first season The Flash episodes, and. It will launch digitally on September 8, 2014, releasing every fortnight. The first printed collection of the comics will release on October 1, 2014.

The series will be co-written by Brooke Eikmeier and Katherine Walczak with art by Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur. The series will have a lighter, more fantastical feel than the show, including outlandish and "costume-y" characters.

A group of circus performers will feature as villains, led by Mr. Bliss. Due to the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, the rogues will all have superpowers, Mr. Bliss himself having the ability to manipulate a person's emotions. Having felt too pushed around, they will decide to take it out on society.
