I think where it lies in is how Green Lantern was doing before the Rebirth series came out.Winick's run was hit or miss with most fans from issue to issue.Sometimes it was pretty good sometimes it was pretty bad.Point is after Winick was Ben Raab I think and his run was lackluster at best.The Hal Spectre series was going nowhere and DC had to come up with something.Enter Geoff Johns and "Rebirth".Ron Marz came back to wrap up Kyle's run and DC ended the Spectre and then launched "Rebirth" and now Green Lantern is one of DC top-selling titles consistently since it relaunched.Green Lantern Corps is a steady seller and the Sinestro Corps war was regarded much better than Secret Invasion or Final Crisis as a story and the upcoming "Blackest Night" looks to be a huge event.

Soooooo DC is wanting to recapture lightning in a bottle(no pun intended there) with the Flash.After Infinite Crisis,Bart's Flash serie failed(though I liked Guggenheim's handle on the character at the end).Now they said all along that that was the plan but I dunno if that's really the case or them saying that.So they bring Wally back and start his book back up but it didn't click with many fans so DC says "Hey!! Let's bring Barry back!! It worked with Hal." However I think the plan is poorly executed an really what reason is there to having Barry back other than to appease the Silver-Age love that's taken over the DC office of late? Now I hate to quick-judge after only one issue but I just don't see the point other than to grab some quick sales.
