Wally West spent nearly his entire history as the The Flash completely overshadowing Barry Allen’s version. He was vastly more popular. His book completely outsold his predecessors book, which had been cancelled prior to Crisis due to poor sales. It’s why Barry Allen died in Crisis. Even in the comics he has long been more powerful than Barry. His treatment was the greatest fan outrage of the New 52 debacle. And while, people cheered his return, they botched it by basically treating the character like a second rate afterthought. In fact, his treatment leads me to suspect that he was brought back for this specific purpose. Which is even more creatively bankrupt. I will add to this, that King seems to completely not get Booster Gold as well. Having written him like a brain addled idiot in Batman and now here. Which completely disregarded all of Booster actually character development. Hell, they literally had him stopping Superman from making horrible time travel mistakes, only to immediately follow it up with the completely out of character King Batman storyline.

This series is an expensive waste of paper. We don’t need story after story of horrific things happening to heroes, little less constant stories portraying them as less the actual hero they have always been. While I’m at it, I’d like to see some storytelling that doesn’t revolve around killing off long standing characters. It’s comics, so we know someone will eventually bring them back, so it deadens the affect immediately. It is also happening constantly anymore, which takes away any impact it could possibly have. t’s see these current writers flex their creative muscles by coming up with storylines not involving Fridging supporting characters. How about a no death mandate. A year of comics where storylines don’t constantly involve murdering long standing characters.
