Interesting comics world turn-of-events? You betcha!

I started collecting comics in 1986 right after the Crisis on Infinite Earths tale was finished. I didn't discover that book until about a year after it came out but was really struck by the story and the art and, strangely, the deaths. Supergirl dies, and lots of Earth-2 heroes but the one that hit a lot of people hard was the death of Barry Allen, the Earth-1 Flash.

Also known as the Silver-age flash, he gave his life saving the Universe from the Anti-monitor and if you are lost as to what that means, read the series...

Anyway, SciFi news and Newsarama just announce that DC will be bringing back Barry Allen to the DCU in the DC Universe #0 book that is out this week.
