As a whole DC books are just way to impenetrable. Though Geoff Johns seems to be the exception to that rule with his ability to take decades of continuity and make it work for today.  So far that hasn’t happened in this first issue.  I’m going to stick with this series and with a new Flash ongoing with Johns but I’m not married to it yet.  I tried with Green Lantern Rebirth, but once the ongoing started I only made it eight issues.  Like Green Lantern, The Flash is a DC character that I know nothing about and want to give it a try.
