Are all Flash threads largely consumed with Wally vs. Barry?

I hope this isn't the "Wally is superior because he is faster" argument. Like that means something. I don't know if you mean actual achievements by the characters or achievements in the story sense. Barry's original run was about fun adventure stories, and he achieved that extremely well. Either way, Wally isn't superior to Barry.
Did he say "Surge"? I like it.
Loved the issue. Will be interesting to see where Barry is and what DC has planned for him.

As I mentioned, I'm referring to the quality and quantity of Wally's time as The Flash. He was more deeply explored as a character than Barry was before COIE. I don't think that's up for debate. I also don't think anything's really been done to make Barry's return meaningful and worthwhile. That's not to say he shouldn't have been brought back, just that I think more can be done with Barry than we've seen since Flash: Rebirth.

I sadly doubt they care much about figuring it out. When it comes to any legacy franchise it's rarely about "trying to please everyone". Usually it's about prioritizing the poster boy the higher ups are invested in, whoever happens to be playing that role. The others usually get crumbs or get thrown in some secondary title that serves no purpose beyond telling their fans they are simply featured somewhere and adds little to the direction of the franchise.

Yikes. So far, no GL runs I love enough to really want to chat about them, but...I know HEAT etc are legendary.
