April 14 is a big day for fans of THE FLASH. How can The Source make it bigger, though?

Well, we’re hoping you’re as excited as we are about the launch of THE FLASH #1. Surely, you’ve seen the preview of THE FLASH #1 we ran on Monday and yesterday’s sneak peek into artist Francis Manapul’s concept art for the series? If not, they’re definitely worth a look.

But here at The Source, we’re always trying to brainstorm new and cool ways to make the comic reading experience a bit more fun. So what would be cooler than buying a copy of THE FLASH #1 — from the creative minds of Geoff Johns and artist Francis Manapul? How about getting a copy of the comic signed by some of the amazing talent involved in putting the issue together?

How can you swing that? Well, it’s easy. Starting 4/7 and continuing during the week leading up to the release of THE FLASH #1, DC NATION’s Twitter account will be asking one Flash-related question a day. The first five Flash fans who correctly answer the question will be eligible to win a signed copy of one of DC’s biggest new launches of 2010. Think you’re an expert in all things Flash? Well, get ready to have your Scarlet Speedster knowledge tested, pal. Not only will I be bringing my years of Flash fandom to the task at hand, but I’ve enlisted the writer of THE FLASH himself, Mr. Geoff Johns to help me in crafting questions that will will be far from simple.

We’ll announce all the legal goodies and rules on 4/7, the day before the contest actually launches. In the meantime, you can prep for the fun by signing up for a Twitter account if you don’t have one. Once that’s done, take a moment to start following DC NATION, THE FLASH writer Geoff Johns and artist Francis Manapul.

Good luck!

    @gojira95 - the FLASH RINGS drop the same day as issue #1 of THE FLASH on 4/15 - if you’re comics shop springs for the bag of 50-rings. I would hope they would - unless your comic shop guy is an Orange Lantern and is hoarding them ALL for himself - MINE! MINE! MINE! ALL MINE!! hahahaha

  7. meisterlegion says on March 3rd, 2010 at 11:37 am :

    Is Twitter paying DC huge amounts of money to promote it or something? o.o

  12. meisterlegion says on March 3rd, 2010 at 12:41 pm :

    @Wildclaw - I’m holding out hope for a LEGION RING too! :)

    What if we aren’t one of the first five to answer, but we are willing to trade fingers, or possibly hands, for one?

  15. jorel1983 says on March 3rd, 2010 at 2:35 pm :

    @doktor seems like DC and twitter have something going on cause they got the first wave reading today then this contest hmm marketing cross promotion

  16. Doktor Aies says on March 3rd, 2010 at 3:30 pm :

    @jorel, yeah - The constant barrage of the First Wave reading on Twitter is what brought that idea to mind really. It’s just mildly annoying, as I come here for news on DC comics… Not to be told stuff is happening on another website.

    Although this is a lot more interesting than the First Wave thing for sure, good on DC for giving something to their fans. :)

  17. jorel1983 says on March 3rd, 2010 at 3:56 pm :

    @doktor better then marvel where they just tell you what you’ll like lol

  18. majesticfool says on March 3rd, 2010 at 4:20 pm :

    Times like these i wish i had a time machine… y’know to jump right to 4/7!!!!

    A signed copy?!?!?! by Johns?!?!?!?! WOOOT x 10,000,000

    Ask away my dear Sourcer, ask away!!!!

  19. thecoyotegospel says on March 3rd, 2010 at 4:39 pm :

    How does Marvel tell you what you’ll like? They publish more books than DC, therefore offering more choices. No company hate!

    This is a nice promotion, but I don’t care about signed copies or Twitter. I think I was spoiled with the barrage of information a few weeks ago because The Source has seemed really sparse with actual information lately!

  20. jorel1983 says on March 3rd, 2010 at 4:49 pm :

    I just can’t stand marvel sorry just seems like they push deadpool and wolverine like crazy. I have twitter and I would love to get a signed copy of anything from these two gentlemen

  21. redhurricane24 says on March 3rd, 2010 at 6:47 pm :

    Wow. Just wow. DC’s marketing promos are relentless. But yeah, back to the matter at hand, I’m gonna brush up on my Flash know-how, just so I can get The Flash #1 signed by Mr. johns himself! Time to ride the lightning!!

  22. xummy says on April 8th, 2010 at 3:31 pm :
