Maybe this team will only write the redemption of Wally before he jumps in another ongoing/mini/maxi-series ?
I'd love to get more than one arc in the Flash book but I really don't see letting Barry in Wally's shadow.
I would be very happy if the Flash book starred Wally or if they did a rotating cast per arc. Wally for a few issues, Barry and then some Jay. Then have the arcs dove tail into a team up. Lots of Flash goodness.

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
They should try with the Flash and have two books. People are asking for a new book with Wally for years. They finaly gave another book for the Wonder Family, why not with the scarlet speedster?
"The Flash" with Barry as lead, "Speed Force\Flash Forward\Whatever name" with Wally.
DC: Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, Yara Flor, Titans
Some of my favorite Mangas: One Piece, Slam Dunk, Fullmetal Alchemist, HunterXHunter, Vinland Saga, Monster, Berserk, Vagabond.
Current reading: Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Spy X Family, Kaiju Nș8, Blue Lock, Dandadan.
They could also just have one Flash title ship twice a month with every other issue being a Barry story or a Wally story. It sounds confusing, but it would be like how Rucka interspersed Diana's new origin with modern stories every other issue. When the trades came out, arcs were separated to make for an easier read. That could allow DC to determine which Flash would better serve them going forward. I'm a Wally fan, so I suspect him.

Or even Washington (where the JL are based) or New York (location of the Teen Titans Academy, and thus where Wallace is currently).

I think Flash sells well enough to have two ongoings, it's whether DC is willing to commit to that (and something non-Batman) that I doubt.
But as it is it seems like Wally is the lead of the ongoing book while Barry is in the League.
I don't think we're getting the actual status quo for the Flash Family until maybe July, after Infinite Frontier #1. From march till then, we'll probably get some stories that are nnot quite filler, but not quite important. Some set up, and some to pacify the fandom.

I am actually ok with this. Since the Johns /Van Sciver Flash Rebirth we have had nothing but hype, interviews and promises and not much delivered ever since. Johns second Flash run, The New 52 (other than the Manapul art) and Williamsons runs were all forgettable IMO.
Both the great Waid and first Johns runs were surprise hits IMO. No hype at first. I am hoping this new team surprises the hell out of us. I briefly had a few words with Jeremy Adams on Twitter and he seems to be very excited for his run and some of his all time favorite comics seem to come from around the early Wally years.
