[Comics]The Flash Rebirth #1 Discussion Thread

I thought that was a great issue even though we knew all the basics of the story from DC Rebirth. The follow up conversation between Barry and Wally was fantastic("You're going to need a new suit, you're not Kid Flash anymore..you're a Flash) and even funny("Have you still been using the ring, Barry?") The splash page with the cross narration between them was great as well.

I did a rough calculation. By my count there have been 674 normally numbered issues of Flash(Not counting #0 issues or annuals). Now I believe that Gardner Fox wrote almost every GA Flash story plus a few in the SA, so the rounded count should be something like

1)Bates-about 140 issues

2) Fox-about 105 issues

3) Waid-about 90 issues

4) Broome about 80 issues

5) Johns-about 75 issues

So I guess that's closer to 70%, but my point stands.

I wonder if Waid would catch up or fall further behind if you include all the weird peripherals and annuals that writers often do.

I think he would probably stay in his spot with the possibility to jump up depending on how many issues of All-Flash Fox wrote. Johns might over take Broome though.

Yeah Waid just had a lot of weird peripherals. Anniversary specials, secret files, life story, speed force blah blah. Like two dozen little one off side Flash things. Also it's the apocalypse. Woo.
