I've just seen the Gotham pilot. I'll talk about it later.

For now, it's the news given to TV Guide that DC Comics are to publish a Digital First comic based on The Flash TV show (of which, I expect, most of us have now seen the pilot).

Flash Season Zero written by Brooke Eikmeir and Katherine Walczak and drawn by Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur, will be set between the pilot episode and the rest of season one. Showrunner Andrew Kresiberg, says that in the comic "Barry will [already] be the Flash, he will have his team, everyone will be in that world, and we'll introducing a new set of villains that we won't be seeing on the TV show. It'll feel like the same heart, humor and spectacle that you get watching Flash." Issue 1 will be published digitally in September and in print in October.

Meanwhile Arrow, the digital first comic of which went on hiatus earlier in the year will also return in September/October as Arrow: Season 2.5. It will be written by Arrow exec producer Marc Guggenheim and show writer Keto Shimizu, and drawn by Joe Bennett and Jack Jadson. Guggenheim says saying "It will take us from the end of Season 2 right up to the beginning of Season 3."

And the plan is to premiere character in the comic ahead of their appearance on the TV show.
