SDCC 2008: Johns & Van Skiver Announce FLASH: REBIRTH

Comic Book Resources reports the worst-kept secret in comic-dom:

We are loath to use the phrase, "because you demanded it," but come on.

Geoff Johns. Ethan Van Sciver. "The Flash: Rebirth."

Really, Mr. Johns, you had us at, "Hello."

Announced today at Comic-Con, the superstar writer told CBR News that he and Van Sciver have a simple goal for the five-issue miniseries "The Flash: Rebirth," scheduled to start in January.

"We want to do for Flash what we managed to do for Green Lantern," said Johns, who wrote the bestselling Van Sciver-penciled "Green Lantern: Rebirth" in 2005 and its sequel "Sinestro Corps War" in 2007.
