As a lifelong Flash fan (36 years), I was glad to see Wally laying down some hurt since I feel we're going to see precious little of him in 2010. While I grew up with Barry, I consider Wally to be "my" Flash and with the loss of his second feature, I don't think we'll be seeing much of him. I do like his new costume and am glad he is keeping the name Flash. My other favorite part of the Flash mythos is the Rogues and imo they shined in this issue and made it worth the price of admission. Johns writes them the best I've seen particularly Captain Cold (my favorite villain in comics). I love the way they went after the dead Rogues and acquitted themselves well. I also enjoyed how Len's confrontation with his sister played out and was resolved. I echo others who say they'd rather see a Rogues series written by Johns than an actual Flash series. They are the third best rogues' gallery in comics but first in my eyes. I agree with fastest; it’s good to see well written Flash stories again.

Even if these aren't the best we've ever seen, they are light years above what he have been getting. But yes, this did feel like a "middle of the story" issue. Middle of the Blackest Night: Flash story, and the middle of Blackest Night itself. I do love seeing Geoff Johns write the rogues. I think the third issue will probably be my favorite issue, as I have been waiting for any more clues to Owen Mercer's origin for too long. It could be an awful book, but if I get that, I'll be a happy guy. I’m happy to see a good Flash stories again.

I understand why they do it, but it does make things rather drab. Wrote my own summary and thoughts here: http://community.livejournal.com/flash_rogues/139459.html Whyyyy did they give us zombie Glider pantyshots? :O The monochromatic colours are a problem, yeah.
