Jumpin' jets! Third Flash volume is kaput and going back to prior volume's numbering

I don't know if this is saying that DC now realizes the error they made with throwing out Wally West (who used that above expression until the end of the Silver Age, just like Robin did some of his until that time), but what's this? DC apparently told at the Phila. Comic-Con that with issue #13 of the third volume they put out, they'd be cancelling the third volume and going back to the numbering of the previous volume, resuming at number #231. And it turns out that Mark Waid will be returning to write it after all.

To prove that they apologize for that mistake, they will bring back Wally and Linda West. Better still, they'll knock off this replacement of one superhero for another trend for a change, and most importantly of all, they'll stop doing it based on defeatist story elements (namely, that Barry Allen took part in a mind-wiping while being made to look bad).

Now, all we can do is wait.

Update: I almost forgot: Bart Allen should have his role as Impulse restored too. When Geoff Johns turned him into a new Kid Flash four years ago, that was sort of like what some today call "continuity porn", although IMO, it's more like slavish devotion to nostalgic story elements and roles. When Bart first debuted, Impulse was his teen hero's name, and while it's not like he couldn't take on the role of his cousin, the guise he first debuted under is what he really fits best in, and I think that now would be as good a time as any to return to it.

Update 2: Uh oh. I spoke too soon.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
