I remember there being some confusion back when this was first announced as to whether it was 5 or 6 issues. First it as 6, then it was 5, now it’s 6 again.

I guess the next question is pagecount…

This is a problem, how?

If it’s such a mess or you have other issues with it, you know what to do. Or not do.

As for me, I’m happy that another issue has been added.

And, DC: feel free to add MORE if that’s what’s needed.

Jeez.

Poor Planning huh?….I kind of remember a certain mini series being 4 issues….then became 80 issues….you know…The Transformers! If its a good story…they add issues.

Sounds good to me, dont let the book get crammed into 5 issues, allow for the 6th to breath more room for the series. More Flash, the better.

More of Johns and Van Sciver is never a bad thing.

The perfect Green Lantern will be Sam Witwer from Smallville. I know you must be thinking that I am crazy but just look at him. He has the face and build for the role. He is in about his late 20s or early 30s which makes him even more perfect for the part. He has acting experience so its not like another Brandon Routh incident will reoccur. If not him then I guess Chris Pine is the best rumored choice, but he is not a better one than Sam Witwer. If Pine was given the role he would be paid a ridiculous amount of money and everyone will view him as Captain Kirk, not Green Lantern. Pine also looks nothing like the Green Lantern…
I have many more reasons why he should play the Green Lantern. I am so confident in this that I have even written a petition. Here’s the link, read it and sign before you leave, I’m sure you will agree with me:

I just always thought it was 6 issues. I was bummed to find out it was 5. So now I’m just back to satisfied.

I’m fairly sure this is because Johns just couldn’t fit his story into 5 issues, so they gave him a 6th so he can comfortably fit everything in, as opposed to just tacking on an extra issue for more money or something.

this just SCREAMS poor planning. maybe i’m wrong and this will be an AWESOME Flash story. Geoff Johns consistantly delivers the best stories out there, but the jump from a 5 issue series to a 6 issue one seems a little off. especially in a story that is already 2 issues deep.

THANK YOU. Thank you very much, this made my day. I was always afraid that five issues was a bit too quick to tell Barry’s story.
