This looks pretty good. Wonder Woman also has the Tom King tax on sales.
I loved the book and I'm in for the long haul but the art is horrible. Dunno how long I can endure that to be honest.
Flash always sells around WW's numbers and those WW numbers have extra because of Tom King. So what the other user says is correct, no 1 can be lower than longer running runs. Stop pushing an agenda that doesn't exist, the book is solid and many people are ready for the new direction.

It's funny how the narrative changes every time.
When Adams was on the book, the sales were horrible and the skies were falling, now all of the sudden his numbers were incredible.

Paul is trying to push an agenda with baseless accusations, on the other thread he implies Morrison/Miller run was cancelled because it was too niche when such thing wasn't the case at all!
The reality is that Adams run's popularity wasn't good at all because it wasn't promoted well, it hung around as long as it did thanks to good word of mouth. Current run started out very well. Instead of trying to ruin things for everyone and flat out making statements that are not true, maybe some of us should try to focus on other things!

It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.
-Dick Grayson (Batman Inc.)
Read the first issue and I liked it. It’s very compressed which is a huge plus. Seems like the pendulum is finally swinging in the other direction away from Bendis style decompression, we’re getting more one and dones and tightly plotted issues because writers know they might not get more than 6 issues at most.
Adams sales must have been bad for him to be taken off in the first place. Not much room to argue otherwise.
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
Chris Pine during his Star Trek era was my fan cast for Wally back in the day.
Evans would make a great Barry if you ask me.
Like I said on the issue thread, it was interesting.
Though pretty wordy and a bit too depressing, not looking forward to Wally and Linda having marriage problems. Though someone pointed out Linda could be having postpartum depression which is potentially interesting. And Wally not telling Mister Terrific whats happening is a dumb move.
Also the art is generally good but it does look weird in some levels, especially the final page where it has an odd "CG-ish" look to it. Like I'm sure the creature is intended to look weird but it felt really off to look at.
Yeah, Irey definitely looks too old - like 12 instead of 8. You could make out breasts on her chest! She should be as flat chested as Lisa Simpson (another 8 year old). Maxine did look younger - though that might only be because she's copied Irey's previous look by putting her hair into twintails!
He's already been both Johnny Storm and Steve Rogers (who both started as teen heroes in the comics but were slightly older in the films). Can't see him as Wally because he's aged out. Wally would likely be quite young when introduced in the movies.
Though Barry would work! And he'd actually look more like the comics Barry than the three previous actors. Not sure he'd take another superhero role at all though, due to typecasting.
