CBR recently interviewed Alan Burnett, the incoming Flash writer. He didn’t give much away about his arc, “This Was Your Life, Wally West,” except to note that his run on the book only lasts four issues.
That brings us to Flash #247 in December, the same month that Final Crisis concludes (assuming everything stays on schedule).
Given the timing (not to mention the title of the story), this is already adding fuel to the rumors of an impending relaunch.
Burnett wasn’t sharing much else about the Paco Diaz-illustrated story. Asked point blank if he was writing the final days of Wally West to make way for former Flash Barry Allen, Burnett responded “no comment” but with a twist: “I can’t tell you.”
