Hello,
I just decided to start reading flash after seeing him in the blackest night. I thought the cirrent series would be a good place to star as it is still pretty early days. However, I noticed that the first few issues are brightest day tie ins and I plan on buying the graphic novels. Does anyone know if these are set to be in the novels? I was thinking of risking it and skipping to issues that are not tie ins and then going back and buying them if they are not included, will I still be able to follow the series if I dont read those first few?

yes, it already has been collected ( The Flash: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues)

Thanks. *runs off to buy.*
