When can we expect the rings and with which issues? There will be a ring promotional offer with The Flash #1 and Green Lantern #53, both carrying the Brightest Day banner. The offer for retailers will be in the February issue of Previews. With a purchase of ten copies of The Flash #1, retailers can order the Flash promotional ring. Both are scheduled for an April 14 release. With an order of ten copies of Green Lantern #53, they can order Green Lantern promotional rings, due in stores on April 21.
Here's what Geoff Johns had to say about the promotion:
With the ordering number lowered to only ten copies, you should have a better chance at getting a hold of the rings once they're released. Make sure to start talking to your local comic shop now. This news does make you wonder if we'll be seeing another rare Marvel variant in case retailers have extra copies of these issues lying around in a few months...“One of the many great Flash Facts about DC Comics is that they actually do support the retailers with promotions like this that not only make our whole business a bit more fun, but also bring the promotion to every single reader. Of course, the proof is in the content and I couldn’t be prouder of the work Francis Manapul and I are doing on THE FLASH and Doug Mahnke and I are creating on GREEN LANTERN. Thanks to everyone, retailers and readers, for an amazing 2009 and here’s to an even better 2010!”
