Man. Grant always comes up with the goods & then some. The real deal

Opinions come in all shapes and sizes.
But they're still just opinions yo
Grant is the man!!

Good God--Barry Allen AGAIN? Can't he do another Flash? Or Multiverse Flashes? This is market saturation.
Give us a break, DC. Do Jay. Wally. Someone else. Anyone else. Barry's in the Flash Earth 1 book, his own book, and now this.
I'm sticking with the show, where the other Flashes will appear, and giving the books a pass. Nice to see that DC's as limited and narrow-minded as ever with the comics.
Patsy Walker on TV! Patsy Walker in new comics! Patsy Walker in your brain! And Jessica Jones is the new Nancy! (Oh, and read the Comics Cube.)
Branding? What does that have to do with branding? Sheesh. These aren't on the "main" Earth, so why not vary the formula a bit?
Morrison has spoken before, including in his book Supergods, that the Flash is his favourite superhero, Barry in particular as he kick-started the Silver Age, and that he's always had this one idea that he'd never had a chance to write yet about a man growing faster and faster as the world seems to slow down.
DC are hardly going to say to him "nah f**k that go write a different Flash".
Flash's name could be Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, or Wally West, depending on who you talk to. And we don't know what exactly DC wants.
I now see what Morrison had planned. As for Earth-One, JMS and Earth-One mean this...isn't going to be a high point. I'm just talking about market saturation.
I just doubt that these guys have thought that far ahead, at least on the comic book side. They've had years to brand anything, and they never did it. The TV series is, from the sound of things coming next season, doing more for the Flash mythos than the book did in 3-4 years.
Uh I'm pretty sure Grant Morrison or any writer for all that matter should be allowed to use whoever the hell he wants to use as the Flash. Doesn't make sense to kowtow out of some arbitrary sense of market balance.
But nice to see that fanboy entitlement is well preserved on this forum.
Huh? What does entitlement have to do with anything? I'm pretty sure that liking other Flashes is simply a sign that readers have varied tastes.
But if it's a story Morrison wanted to do for years, that's another story. Given that Multiversity was a long time coming, who knows how long it'll be before these Multiversity OGNs see print? Oy.

Was I the only one who thought of the Avatar tv show when they saw "Avatarex" and "Hindu myths"?
