Teen Titans #20, out this week.
Will Raven Choose the Titans…or Trigon? (Review of Teen Titans #20)
After last issue’s events, New York’s Times Square is in shambles. Two dozen people trying to secure the area after the battle died with just a simple thought (“drop dead”) from Psimon. What more can go wrong? And, will Raven choose to fight alongside the Teen Titans or side with her father Trigon? That’s the starting point for issue #20 of Teen Titans, which does a good job of pushing forward the New 52 version of the battle between the Titans and perhaps their most infamous opponent.

Official ‘Flashpoint Paradox’ Trailer Released
IGN.com has posted the first trailer for the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox animated film. If viewing the video at IGN’s site is a problem, you can also find it on YouTube.
There’s an embedded video and some general spoilers after the cut.
The film’s story seems to diverge somewhat from the original comic storyline, as indicated by the increased role of Professor Zoom and presence of the Top. I’m personally excited by this because it means those of us who read the comic will still be in for a few surprises, although I’d imagine some people will be disappointed by a retelling that isn’t completely faithful to the original. But I think the trailer’s great, and yes, I’m utterly delighted by the presence of the Top –- I’ll definitely be buying this film.
As has been reported previously, the film will be available July 30th on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and digital download formats from Warner Brothers Animation and DC Entertainment. It stars Justin Chambers as Barry Allen and Kevin McKidd as Thomas Wayne, alongside a large cast of other voice actors.
What do you think of this? Are you excited by the trailer, or were you hoping for something a bit closer to the original storyline?

Quicksilver Cast in X-Men: Days of Future Past
There’s still no word on when the Flash may be racing onto the big screen, but we now know that another comic book speedster — Marvel’s Quicksilver — will be appearing in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Evan Peters (American Horror Story) has been cast as the son of Magneto, as reported by CBR.
Joss Whedon recently confirmed that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are in the Avengers 2 script (which is in much earlier stages). According to spinoff, the characters are available to both studios (Marvel and Fox), so his appearance in one franchise doesn’t prevent him from appearing in the other.

Justice League Dark Gets Help…In a FLASH! (review of issue #20)
In the last issue of Justice League Dark, the House of Mystery had been hijacked and Swamp Thing had been captured, allowing Doctor Destiny to send nightmare visions into the world. The Flash had been brought into this battle, as there is something about his powers that makes him uniquely qualified to help. Now, the battle heats up in Justice League Dark #20, the second of a three issue arc guest starring The Fastest Man Alive!
