"Mark Waid has long been billed not just as a writer for DC Comics, but also as a historian, and now he’s getting to put all of that built-up knowledge to its best use yet. DC has announced New History of the DC Universe, a four-issue series that will align all of DC’s continuity over the past 90 years through the eyes of Barry “The Flash” Allen. Waid will write the miniseries, with a lineup of all-star artists joining him along the way, starting with Jerry Ordway and Todd Nauck on the first issue."

SHAPING A UNIVERSE:
MARK WAID RETURNS TO DC
March 15, 2022
By Alex Jaffe
"...there is nobody alive in this world who knows or loves DC Comics as much as Mark Waid. He's the man who has literally written the book on DC's greatest heroes several times over. He's the man who turned Wally West into the Fastest Man Alive. The man who gave the Justice League and Superman definitieve origins, and both their stories a definitive end. The man who rekindled the multiverse, and never, ever gave up on the rallying cry of 'Long Live The Legion.' And just as I knew all that, I knew that one day, Mark Waid couldn't help but come back to the universe he gave so much of himself to shape."
