Hoping to see Jay more in 2021 but not holding my breath.
AKA FlashFreak
Favorite Characters:
DC: The Flash (Jay & Wally), Starman- Jack Knight, Stargirl, & Shazam!.
MARVEL: Daredevil, Spider-Man (Peter Parker), & Doctor Strange.
Current Pulls: Not a thing!
Seeing John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick has been one of the highlights of my nerd career.
I mean, they took a convoluted route to get there, but get there they did.
Hands down one of the best bits of casting and one of the best costumes ever, across the live action board.
Seeing Jay (and Joan) again in 2021 would be a delight.
First chairman of the JSA... so is he the default second in command when someone else is Chairperson? For example, he took charge in the 2006 Justice Society book when chairwoman Power Girl was missing, having been sent to Earth-2 by Gog.

Is Jay and Joan the longest ongoing relationship in all of comics? (Golden age Clark and Lois didn’t initially start dating.)
Justice Society World War II voice cast announced. Armen Taylor is Jay.

Jay was always my favorite Flash, followed by Wally, (stop doing that, DC!). He's a great character, and I'd love to see 2021 have a LOT of him in good JSA and other stories.
