Ok, I won't go into details but I'm now worried.

I have read a good portion of King's work and I generally like his stuff. I find he is a generally interesting writer.
Meanwhile I find Tamaki's output from what I read tends to be more dull.
Taurin Clarke said on Instagram that #799 is "my last cover for this run"
He never said the run is coming to an end, but that he is not doing any more covers for that run. Of course, that doesn't mean anything.
Really the only thing we have is the lack of an answer from Jeremy's part and a Youtube video from some guy who claims to know stuff. It's not really enough.

If Tom King is given Flash, that will be it for me.
I do not want to read a Wally West book written by Tom King.
I cannot see myself enjoying it.
On the upside, if it DOES come to pass, my compulsive need to own every Flash issue will be broken.
"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
I respect how Taylor does a very classic DCU, but I started to notice more and more how he writes basically for the Tumblr/Twitter conversation, almost as if he writes moments that purposefully are "screencap worthy" and postable. A Flash book by Bruno Redondo though, holy moley, take my money!
Also, guess people took my Tom King joke way too seriously.
I'd rather have another few good years of Adams doing his magic with Wally and friends before risking another potential hack come to ruin these characters with his new, ambitious, revolutionary idea. Or just doing plain, boring stuff. As much as I'm thankful to Williamson for taking care of the mythology and restoring it, his run bored me most of the time. Curiously enough, I enjoy how he writes the rest of the DC universe much more. His Robin and brief Batman run were fun, Dark Crisis had that connected DCU feel I missed from the Pre-Flashpoint era and his Superman started in a really enjoyable way.
Hell, if we have no way of escaping Barry as the main Flash again at least keep Jeremy anyway, since he writes the best Barry in ages. We could have fun Hal-Barry crossovers. To me keeping Adams in whatever circumstances seems like a no brainer, unless by a divine miracle they launch two Flash books and move him to the Wally one. I have no idea who on Earth could write a good Barry book though.

I don't think anyone wants to see King write any speedster again.
I really doubt Wally is going to be sidelined ever again. He is in his own book, plus Titans. The Flash family is getting the inclusive approach it should have had years ago. At least split it into two books. Wally could headline one and Barry the other.
I know everyone is traumatized from the previous decade, but I'm relatively optimistic.

Yeah, I think are unnecessarily panicking in this thread.
In his own words:
The character that I love love LOVE that I had nothing for was The Flash. I was asked to pitch on the book years ago for backup stories and just sat in my studio for a week thinking "do i have stories about a guy who runs fast" and came up with nothing except for some ludicrous stories. But I grew up on The Flash! The trial of Barry Allen, Waid's run, those are hallmark stories for me.
