Reading Flash Forward #1 for the 4th or 5th time and, guys, it might be petty, but when I see Wally being called "the fastest being alive in the Multiverse", I don't know, I think it's really exciting.

huh* I liked the Silver Surfer series that was done with (...eh...some girl with a polka-dot dress 'Daisy'?) not too long ago.
Wally and Linda traveling together using The Cosmic Rickshaw. (He don't need no Treadmill. He's already in great shape.)
Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)
If you think about, in that situation Wally wouldn't be a "threat" to Barry and furthermore we could get stories about Wally that we haven't really seen before. I do not recall any sort of Cosmic stories from Wally's run with the exception of, "The Human Race".

I don't know how I feel about Multiverse Wally. It seems like just a way of writing him out of books again so Barry is the only main Flash and those kind of comics don't tend to do very well unless they're written by Grant Morrison...on-top of after HiC, so I'd just be feeling left cold .

Wally, despite his preposterous power curve, does not really fit being a cosmic character. Unless it's pure fish out of water stuff.
What's great about Wally, what makes up the backbone of his stories, is interpersonal relationships. Cosmic adventures usually lack that.
I agree. Part of the charm of Wally is that he is down to earth and an every man and that includes his interactions. Although his powers can put him in crazy supernatural adventures and environments.
But his reactions to these situations with his flawed but charming personality is most of the fun.
My name is Wally West. I"m the fastest man alive. I"m the Flash.
