DC Shows Off The World of Flashpoint http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/05/20/flashpoint-friday-a-map-of-the-world-of-flashpoint/

Last week, DC unveiled a map showing readers what the Earth looks like in DC’s changed universe.  Its a very detailed map that explains who the major players are in this storyline, but does it get people pumped up for Flashpoint?
