Whereas previous entries such as Brian Azarello and Eduardo Risso’s Batman: Knight of Vengeance serve as world-building prequel to the events of the limited series, Flashpoint Beyond is intent on being a proper sequel, moving the story past the original. More than a decade after forever changing the status quo of DC Comics, Geoff Johns returns to the brilliantly apocalyptic world of Flashpoint with an interesting imperative. But for better or worse, Flashpoint Beyond #0 is markedly different from most revamps thanks to a curious insistence on saying the quiet part out loud: this world shouldn’t exist. This sacred rite of capitalistic creativity is nothing new and rarely offers many surprises.
It must be retold, remixed, recycled, rebooted and resuscitated until it is unrecognizable, a tired husk of a once novel idea. By Harrison Stewart - Every so often, a work of art comes along that is so groundbreaking, so refreshingly original, that it must be ritualistically sacrificed upon the altar of profit.
