Nerdage confirms that Flash Chronicles will feature Barry Allen. Since the Chronicles line of trade paperbacks is supposed to start at the beginning and run through chronologically, I can only assume that DC considers Barry Allen to be the “original” and not that Jay Garrick guy who inconveniently appeared 16 years earlier. *sigh*
Newsarama has more on Wednesday Comics, which will include a weekly Flash feature, including some promo art. (via SpeedsterSite)
Two bits from Newsarama
First, DC is launching a 12-part weekly series called “Wednesday Comics,” attempting to recapture the feel of old-style Sunday comic serials in newspapers. Each character will get a full-page installment each week — and the Flash is one of the characters. (No word on which one — could be Barry Allen to tie into the Barry-focused relaunch, could be Wally West to throw us Wally fans a bone.)
Second, there’s a two-page preview of Blackest Night #0, featuring a full-page Barry Allen.
