Anyone else think this storyline is dragging on and on?
I just hope that it wraps up soon. I am not feeling this run. Sorry.

But when one writer's books keep being delayed over many, many years, you start to realize what the common denominator is.
After Flash: Rebirth, Johns did an ongoing series with Barry in the...
Anyone else remember this dude's history of dropping plots and promising projects that never materialize?
Enough already!
Birds of Prey was when I became a fan of this character. Dinah and Babs were an amazing team.
Wally is with the classic Titans lineup. This makes me happy.
Wally is reunited with Pied Piper at long last. This also makes me happy.
I'm not as alarmed as others would be. Am I weird?
I don't think anyone wants to see King write any speedster again.
I really doubt Wally is going to be sidelined ever again. He is in his own book, plus Titans. The Flash family is getting the...
But Flash: Rebirth was a decade ago.
I also think one reason is that Human Target is written by one of their "star" writers.
No reason Hartley and Singh can't hang with Wally and Linda. Given that the Hartley/Singh pairing was barely touched on in Barry's run, why not?
Personally I hope they keep Piper and Singh together. Linda was seen chatting with them at the end of the Williamson run. I still would like to know how they hooked up. Previous writers barely...
Barry Allen with living parents, who became a hero because he was a good man, and didn't need a dead mom as a motivator.
Harley Quinn AGAIN? Does she need to be in every single DC anthology?
To be fair, there was editorial interference and it showed. I can imagine what he might have accomplished if it weren't for that.
Barry has children he never knew, plus a grandson he was being acquainted with before the New 52. Why not pick up on that thread?
It's preferable to when Geoff Johns was giving interviews talking about grandiose plans that didn't happen. "Coming up, we’ll see a new supporting cast member, a new villain, the return of the Pied...
Piper had a stronger presence last year: DCeased, DC's Valentine's issue, last year's Pride issue, plus one Barry story. I'd rather move Piper to JLQ myself.
And by the way, Piper (or his...
I find it odd in retrospect that people thought Hiccups would be about superheroes and trauma, but it was no such thing. Also, doesn't sound like the story that was intended anyway.
Back to Wally....
I get the impression Zaslav is simply there as a hatchet man. He isn't there to grow the company. He's there to cut overhead and fire people. I've seen it at other companies. They will bring in...
Wow. They didn't know how to read the room, and no editor was putting the brakes on King.
So they planned to redo Identity Crisis that far in advance? Curious: were sales really so rotten that they figured another Identity Crisis would goose sales?
I am just glad that the current Flash...
I'd love to know when he found out about "Identity Crisis 2: Electric Boogaloo."
Since Flash has nothing to do with Batman, Joker, or Harley Quinn, of course DC didn't promote it much.
And why is that? I ask because the speedsters are underutilized outside the Flash book. For instance, why haven't they appeared in any YA graphic novels? The Lanterns, the Arrow family, and the Aqua...
Seriously?
When did he write Wally and Ralph as homophobes?
My main criticism of Johns is that he played favorites with characters. He loved Captain Cold and Heat Wave. Pied Piper and...
Prime outlived his usefulness. Let Dark Nights: Death Metal be the last word on the guy.
