Oh I agree, but I also want to point out that the art is really good (IMO of course) in the main book and still even it was not great per se, it was definitely not bad either (I mean cmon Amazons Attack, Armageddon 2001, Bloodlines, Countdown, etc)

I'm honestly kind of finicky when it comes to altering the main universe. Sometimes I really dislike it, and sometimes I like part of what they've done.For example, I had no real issue with the changes made in House of M. Then Bendis goes and writes Cyclops as STILL NEEDING GLASSES IN A WORLD WHERE HE HAS HIS HEART'S DESIRE.
So yeah.

Exactly 🙂
Also Pr, my view when it comes to reality altering storylines is this.
If it's something totally peripheral (like an Elseworlds story) I'm fine with whatever they do (except JLA Act of God, which is vomit inducing)
But in Flashpoint's case which is in continuity, it came down to this. The story was not annoying (like Countdown) and not many characters were mishandled to a degree which would take away from my enjoyment of the story (especially since AQ got to wreck big amounts of $hit during the event).
And finally everything went back to main DCU really fast.
My 2 cents.

Flashpoint didn't disappear at all.Anyway, I enjoyed Flashpoint more, mainly because I'm not a huge fan of X-books. Admittedly, the tie-ins for Flashpoint were much better than the main series overall-- Emperor Aquaman, Citizen Cold, Kid Flash Lost and Project Superman were excellent reads, imo.
The Outsider was the best one, IMO.
