Another Flash book without Barry Allen being the focus is fine by me–and welcome news. Especially when it seemed that DC Comics didn’t have much to announce at Comic-Con.

As for the Flash in particular, I think DC Comics is a little caught off-guard with the Flash franchise.

The last year or so of Wally West’s run on Flash was less than ideal. Then Bart Allen as Flash book wasn’t great (I think Jason Todd had more of a chance before they killed him off).

Then with delays on Flash: Rebirth mini-series (where the focus is on speed and all events happening in 1 day, book delays really killed the momentum) and a new Barry Allen book that seems stale to me (in comparison to Wally West’s first few issues to this new Barry Allen run. Unrelated: who cares about time cops when you are a speedster who can travel through time?)

[...] the last minute to catch the second day of DC Nation. I’m glad I did: Geoff Johns announced a second Flash series to launch next year (though considering I watched him announce both a Kid Flash series and a Wally [...]

Sorry we missed each other. I realized I have no idea what you look like, unless you were the guy asking all the Flash questions! Maybe next time!

I am super excited. He specifically said “Wally and Bart fans”. The books gonna star them the same way GLC starred Guy and Kyle. Now Guy has his own series. I’m just sayin…the way current GLC worked for the longest time was Guy, Kyle, and whatever main Lanterns they had join them for the story arc. Just replace that with Wally, Bart, and Speedsters and you’re all set.

My guess? Written by Sterling Gates (first few issues “cowritten” by Johns) and illustrated by Scott Kolins. It would make sense…:)

I think this is actually better than a co-feature, since those 8-pagers are rarely anything special. They’re too short to fully develop a decent story, so I’ll take a standard-length story that *occasionally* stars Wally over a “drive-by” and very forgettable 8-pager.

Hey, there’s something like 13 books focused on Batman and his group. Why not a second Flash book? I hope this doesn’t fall through like the Wally co-feature and Bart book did last year. Sooo I guess I’m cautiously excited.
