Weird Western Tales could be amazing. Every one of those characters is dead!
I'll also be picking up The Question, although I hope it takes place in Hub City, even though it'll probably star Renee.
Geoff Johns said:Players to watch that I'll be working with in the future? The Flash Rogues obviously. Hector Hammond. And one character, I'm looking very, very forward to working with is Black Manta.
Geoff Johns said:Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! I hope you all have save travels if you're heading somewhere for the holidays.
Obviously, there have been some changes (among many) in DC's approach to co-features and, in particular, the Flash universe that have raised questions and frustrations. Yes, THE FLASH will no longer have the Wally West co-feature. It'll remain one of DC's $2.99 books rather than $3.99 and Barry Allen will be the lead character. Yes, the plans for creating a book title KID FLASH have altered. (The creative team lined up never started on the book.) And, yes, it was a mistake to announce our plans before they were set in stone. Everyone was just excited about the Flash. No one wants to disappoint anyone. That's not only bad business, it's bad karma. So all that above? That's the bad news.
But there is good news too. You will see the stories Scott Kolins and I have been working on. You will see Wally and Bart and everyone (Jesse will surprise a lot of people!). You will see the Flash universe grow organically. No one wants the Flash universe to achieve the same heights Green Lantern has more than me and the creative and editorial team working on it (and maybe the bean counters at DC! ). I'm also working hard on the movie. Despite what it looks like, the plans have grown for the Flash universe, although the rollout for things has changed. Imagine something more like how Green Lantern grew. The Flash universe is set for something VERY big in 2011 as well. It'll take a bit more time to build (not too much), but in the long run I do believe the foundation will be stronger for it. I can't get into specifics too much and I don't want to until we literally have covers to show – which I'm sure will frustrate some people – but I don't want to see anyone disappointed.
I am incredibly excited about the future of the Flash and I think when things are finally rolling in April, you all will be too.
I'll try and answer any questions I can when I can over the next few days.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
