Or – “By Hook, Or By Crook, We WILL.” Tom Tresser has spent a lot of time in a lot of different portions of the DC Universe.  Those who only know him as Wonder Woman’s beau have missed a lot of things, including his war against organized crime, a couple of runs in Amanda Waller’s Suicide Squad, and a general badassery that many heroes could only wish they commanded.  After the events of Final (really more of a Penultimate) Crisis, Tom Tresser is about to wake up in the worst situation he’s ever faced…

DC Comics unveiled the variant cover to the upcoming Flash: Rebirth #3, and it looks really awesome. I’m not big on variant covers (I too was burned during the 1990s and the Gen13 debacle), but this is one I might actually ask my comic book guy to track down for me.
