Flash Fact Friday: I'm Writing a Kid Flash OGN!
Two newsletters in one week? Lunacy. But I’ll keep it fast (pun intended) because I didn’t want the news to slip past that my very first DC Comics release is now public knowledge! KID FLASH: GOING ROGUE is an original middle grade OGN out September 2025, with blazingly dynamic art from the husband-and-wife team of Jerry (line art) and Penelope (colors) Gaylord.
This book has been a long time coming—without going too deep into the intricacies of publishing, it was first pitched to our fantastic editor Sara Miller four years ago! So I couldn’t be more thrilled that it’ll be hitting shelves next year with Jerry and Penelope’s outstanding take on Ace West and the four Rogues you see on the cover behind him: Pied Piper, Trickster, Golden Glider, and The Top. But these aren’t necessarily the Rogues you’re used to…
I’ll sign off with the full official synopsis below—and expect me to talk a lot more about this very special story between now and next September!
Kid Flash and his uncle, Barry Allen a.k.a the Flash, team up to teach a teenaged group of rogues—Golden Glider, Pied Piper, Trickster, and The Top—an important lesson. But is Kid Flash the one who has the most to learn?
Ace West has it all figured out. He’s the fastest guy in National City after all! Well, second fastest if you count his uncle, Barry Allen, aka THE FLASH. But this young superhero has more to learn than he thinks.
After messing up one too many missions by getting distracted signing autographs and snapping selfies, Flash takes him and a group of ne’er-do-well kids to a pocket dimension for an intervention. Kid Flash assumes he’s there to show the other kids how to use their powers responsibly, but when Flash gets unexpectedly called away on important Justice League business, Kid Flash must learn it takes a lot more than being super to be a hero.
From the writer behind the Spider-Ham trilogy, Steve Foxe, with dynamic and action-packed art by Jerry Gaylord, comes a story about a ragtag group of kids who must work together or be doomed to life as the “bad kids.”
