Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance #1, published by DC Comics on June 22, 2011, is the first chapter of a crucial 3-issue miniseries. Written by the sci-fi writing duo Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with art by Eddy Nuñez, this comic is a direct tie-in to the reality-altering Flashpoint crossover event.

• Jimmy’s Secret Legacy: While in captivity, Lois examines Jimmy’s recovered camera. To her astonishment, a hidden mechanism activates a secret hologram message from Cyborg, America's top national security officer. Lois learns that Jimmy wasn't just a photographer—he was a covert asset trying to transmit data back to Cyborg.
