Would you read a Barry Allen/Wally West bimonthly book?

[Akiraking]

So this is just a random thought I had but what if the current Flash title which has two issues released a month had alternating stories for Barry and Wally in the same way that Wonder Woman's book initially told two stories being her origin and her current day adventures. An example could be after the Flash War story line each even issue could be Barry and odd issue be Wally. I honestly think considering the current Flash book doing so well (averaging around 50,000) that they could attempt to do a second book entirely for Wally but if DC is still shy about the idea of two different Flash books then this way they could both be under the same banner.

I don't think it is a very likely option as it has as much chance of turning away readers as it does bringing in the Wally fanbase who doesn't want to read Barry but I think it would at least be an interesting experimental way of building up interest for Wally to have his own book. It would be like instead of doing back up stories, Wally could have a six issue run in the odd issues of Flash and then if they feel confident launch his own book.

So would you read a book like this?

Edited: I changed the name of the thread so people don't think it is official news anymore.

That's what I thought would happen when Rebirth first happened but nah.

I've thrown this idea out before so yeah, I'd definitely be down for it. (With an asterisk)

Of course, ideally I want Wally West and the Speed Force so the Flash Family has a home.

Not at jab at you OP (at all, honestly), but everybody should think their thread titles a little more trough, so we know that it's "would like this?" instead of getting out hopes up thinking it's hot news.

I know. I was getting ready to pop a bottle of champagne when I read the thread title, and then I read the opening post and realized it was a fan proposal rather than news of actual DC product coming our way soon.

Same here. :'( but maybe after Flash War.

Sorry, I don't make many threads here, I should have phrased it as a question. I'll remember next time.

It could work but I'm afraid it could cut the stories short. Then again Flash has been a bit too decompressed at times. It's essentially the same as giving each one a monthly title though isn't it?

You can still edit it!

I wouldn't mind it, and I think Williamson would be able to do it, and it could be something DC is more open to if they're resistant to giving Wally his own book.

Yeah, as soon as I saw the title thread, I thought "awesome news!!!" but then I opened the thread and thought "oh man..."

Changed it, didn't know I could change the title of a thread until now.

I'd be all over that book like white on rice!
I HATE how DC threw away everything to concentrate on Barry. It wasn't just the baby with bathwater, it was the bath, the taps and the plumbing as well!
Max, Jay, Bart, Jesse, Jenni, John Fox, Don, Dawn the list goes on and on.

You can? I didn't know either. Good to know.

It's happened to me before that I change it and it still doesn't change on the front page.
