>Anyway, at the DC Publishers Panel at San Diego Comic-Con today, DC Comics publisher Dan DiDio answered questions about the character’s future. Stating that DC Comics is going to put Wally through the wringer, again, in the upcoming series Wally West: Flash Forward, and that this mini-series by Scott Lobdell. Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund will kick off a major event in 2020 for DC Comics.
it never ends
Lobdell's wrote Age of Apocalypse which is better than any Crisis
You can't be serious.
Imagine still reading anything from the Big 2 after the last decade
There’s still some decent stuff. No point in reading the shit though
He was ONE of the writers on AoA that included Waid, Hama, Loeb, Nicieza, Kavanagh and Ellis. But I guess you know that, but it wouldn't serve the purpose of derailing this thread.
Lobdell is the go-to guy for writing editorial's terrible mandated directions for characters.
Also I thought he was quitting comics to do Hollywood scripts?
who cares about lame Wally? Based Bart should be the only Flash
He and Harras has some sort of relationship. He'll be around as long Bob Harras is EiC.
It's his big reward for passing the HR program he was forced to partake in
He's also a former Wildstorm writer so he'll always get work under Lee.
Racism at it's finest. The only reason for the original Wally to return was because some fans didn't want Wally to be Black.
Kid Flash Wally is doing much much better than Flash Wally though?
Oh boy, more PTSD and Suicide.
Thanks, Didio. You really are the King of Fun. Marvel better watch out.
Yes, Wally being raceswapped and removed out of continuity only to come back and get shat because there is no space for him was honestly pretty racist.
What's racist is that they turned Wally black and decided his first appearance should be Barry picking Wally up after he got arrested because he's a problem child in a fatherless home trying to emulate the gangsta lifestyle.
>Oh boy, more PTSD and Suicide.
I don't know if Scott Lobdell would write that
Nah, booth fucking hated what they did to Wally and only returned to this book because this is a bandaid for HiC, he's already said they're going to "fix" it, he's a massive Wally fag and they've got to do something to fix HiC given its gargantuan backlash
The first 25 issues of the Red Hood & the Outlaws Rebirth series is the best thing Lobdell has ever written.
It could be worse, they could give him to Bendis.
whatever happened to black Wally anyway?
He’s with the Teen Titans and was in Deathstroke’s book for a bit.
