Although on one level I can certainly understand their reasoning, it doesn't change the fact that I can no longer get my monthly Wally flash hit.

I thought Peyer was doing a good job getting Flash readable again. I would have preferred seeing him being given a decent shot. Another reason why I love this site.

I guess DC isn't willing to give it time to rebuild, they just want that *ahem* quick fix. P.S. Thanks for letting me know about the readability problem. When I'm logged in, it doesn't show me the name/email/website fields, so I never noticed the color problem, and no one else had mentioned it -- even though it's probably been like that since I installed the comment preview plugin 2-3 weeks ago. It should be fixed now if you hit refresh. Yeah, if Peyer had continued, he’d basically be in the same position Johns was when he started.

Anyway. Sales seems to have stayed fairly regular for the past 10 years on this title.... I believe that DC is feeling that the book isn't doing well because of the High expectations that Bilson and DeMeo generated. When they arrived to the book issue #1 sold 120K copies, which dropped to 78k for the second and kept falling month after month. I guess that after seeing what Marvel did with JMS's Thor and Fraction's Iron Man, or themselves with Johns's Green Lantern they think that Flash can do better, they just aren't sure about how to do it. I believe that while Peyer was doing a good job, his name isn't one that is going to bring Big Sales to the character, of course one could argue that Johns wasn't that big of a name back when he started in the Flash, he became who he is now working there. I'm curious because of the fact that Peyer wasn't going to stay on the Flash only became public after the book's change of editors in the middle of "Fast Money". Seems to me that Hilty was "grounded", and Berganza had another ideas for the character. I can’t read what I write in the form Kelson.
