DC Offers Promotional Flash Rings with Copies of The Flash #1 and Green Lantern Rings with Green Lantern #53

DC Comics has announced that they will be offering retailers and fans the chance to take part in another promotional ring campaign. I assume everyone is now familiar with the ring campaign that DC launched back in November, where fans could get the power rings of the various lantern corps with select Blackest Night tie-in issues. I also assume everyone is familiar with the controversy surrounding Marvel’s offer to retailers to trade in unsold copies of these issues. If not, read here!

Well, it seems that unabashed with this slight against their previous ring campaign, DC are forging ahead with another one:

These issues will be solicited in the February issue of Previews magazine, and DC will be emailing retailers about the offer today. If you are interested in picking up the rings, make sure to check with you retailer that they will be taking part in the offer.

Dan Didio had this to say about the promotion:

“These rings are not only very cool, but they’re a big thank-you to our fans, who’ve helped make BLACKEST NIGHT a huge success. We’re hoping we can all keep the momentum going once the BLACKEST NIGHT ends and the BRIGHTEST DAY begins.”

Geoff Johns had this to add:

“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!”

No announcement has yet been made about a White Lantern promotional ring, but keep you eyes pealed, because it is definitely coming. Mark my words!
