Artist Juan Ferreyra has shared a look inside of The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #2, the middle chapter in the upcoming prequel comic set to bridge the cap between Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and the new The Flash movie coming later this year. In the image, Ferreyra gives an impressive look at a version of the Flash costume, which will be altered somewhat in the upcoming movie, per the film’s trailer and promotional stills. DC had largely got out of the business of making movie tie-in comics for the mass market (although Batman v Superman and Justice League had some digital comics distributed exclusively through promotional campaigns), making this comic kind of a big deal.

It will also feature the first appearances of other DC characters in the movie universe continuity, with this issue featuring Tar Pit, a villain created by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins in 2001. The character previously appeared on The Flash TV show, making him one of only three villains to have faced both Ezra Miller’s Flash and Grant Gustin’s (the other being Captain Boomerang, who faced off with The Flash briefly on Suicide Squad, and Girder, who appears in Fastest Man Alive #1).
