Rich Johnston was only off by two issues.
CBR is announcing that Flash #236 will be Mark Waid's last issue on the series. There will be a one issue fill-in by Keith "Mr. Editorial Mandate" Champagne and then new, ongoing writer Tom Peyer will take over.
I have blogged/ranted before about DC's mishandling of the Flash franchise. This is simply just more of the same. As much as they'd like to point out how many times Peyer has co-wrote with Waid, he's not Mark Waid. He is a verteran writer who has written (or co-written) a lot of good stuff, but he is nowhere near a big name.
If DC has gone through all it has gone through in the last two years to generate buzz for the Flash title, you'd think they'd have a superstar creator replace Waid. I mean, if they didn't, all the upheaval they did on the franchise would be senseless.
