I dropped The Flash because of all the ridiculous other forces. Is that coming back after Year One is over?

Current Pulls: Not a thing!
So glad this thread exists. I like Silver Age Barry. They had some rocky times when first attempting to switch to bronze age stories, which was a shame. But since it's a silver age I enjoy, it's okay. Not really sure when The Flash switched to more bronze age writing, long-term. I bailed when I knew Iris was going to die, because I wasn't interested in reading Barry without Iris. Even if she hadn't been used much in ages, which was an absolute shame. It seems like she was really his only non-cape supporting character, sometimes. Clark had Lois and Jimmy (not sure they count, though, given how often they got powers) and Perry and later Edge and Lombard. Bruce had Alfred and Jim and whoever he was dating (Julie, Vicki, Silver, etc.) Was there anyone else for Barry? Oh, I now he was pals with Hal, and with Al. And I loved him being BFFs with Ralph. But anyone at work or anything? Daphne Dean, I guess, but like the heroes, she was only a visitor.
Also count me in as one who doesn't like the other non-speed-forces (didn't like the rainbow of colors of Lanterns, either).
Anyone else want to try to work out all the Silver Age Rogues ages with me? Barry got younger along the away, IIRC (using his two reunions for ages, I think), but just setting everyone else relative to Barry would be nice.
i found the forces a bit silly, so i rested for a while.
i'm hearing good things with year one, but i will probably wait for the trade.

I really wish they would give Barry his old costume back and take those stupid lines away already. It is ok in the show but it isn't needed in the comics. He has one of the best designed costumes anyway. It looks too busy now.
