Courtesy of our pals at the GLCMB, Ethan Van Sciver answered a lot of Flash:Rebirth questions from a few us(mostly me 
)
Ethan:
Kuhan: How cool is it to be drawing Bart Allen again in Rebirth and will you draw him similarly to how you drew him on Impulse?
Ethan:
Ethan:
west: I hope you and Geoff don't reach a burnout point before then..
Ethan:
Old School: But I think you already have flash fans no matter what age group curious about rebirth. So lets now think about Aquaman...
Ethan:

)So, here's some(a lot) more questions:
1. You said Wally's kids will appear in issue one. Good news I guess. Is there any chance that Jai and Iris lose there powers and possibly de-age back to infants/toddlers where they should be?
2. I know you probably can't/won't answer this but I'll try anyway...What provokes Wally to change his costume? Is it simply Barry's return or maybe the loss of Linda or his children?
3. How big of a role will Jay Garrick play in Flash:Rebirth?
4. If you could describe Wally as a person/hero/villain(?) at the end of Flash:Rebirth in one word, what would that be?
5. Why settle for a column on Newsarama when GLCMB has been loving and praising you like no other?!
6. If you could choose any writer at DC to draw for(OTHER THAN GEOFF) who would it be?
7. Since Geoff is apparently staying on the Flash title after the 6 issues(still?) of Rebirth, do you know or are willing to tell us NOW(I asked you before) who will be taking your place on the series?
8. What impact will Blackest Night have on Earth when its all said and done?
9. Is Alan Scott alive(NOT A Black Lantern) during Blackest Night?
10. Will Hunter Zolomon play a big role in Flash:Rebirth? Will he eventually get his powers back?
Ethan:
Okay...
1. Yes and no.
2. The main reason is that Barry is back, and Wally doesn't need to keep Barry's legend alive anymore. He's his own man, and we need a way to distinguish the two Flashes from each other visually, at a glance. There are other reasons too. Wait and see.
3. Huuuuge!
4. Flash.
5. Good question! Maybe I should have brought Your Time is Now Mine here instead!
6. I only get to pick one? Grant Morrison.
7. Nope!
8. A good reason to read THE BLACKEST NIGHT!
9. Yes.
10. A good reason to read FLASH: REBIRTH!

Ethan:
I love Alan Scott, but I hardly ever get to draw him. He's in a few panels in FLASH REBIRTH, but I didn't really get him right there. I need a whole issue.
Kuhan: How cool is it to be drawing Bart Allen again in Rebirth and will you draw him similarly to how you drew him on Impulse?
Ethan:
I love Bart, and yes, I'm drawing a realistic version of the way he looked in Impulse. You'll see
Ethan:
We'll probably do Aquaman Rebirth, if only because the brand name is working so well, and everyone knows what it means. It's a question of when. I want FLASH up and running, with fans hooked and addicted before I move on to anything else.
west: I hope you and Geoff don't reach a burnout point before then..
Ethan:
Nah, not when there's so much stuff to do. People get burned out when they're out of ideas, and we're NEVER out of ideas.
Old School: But I think you already have flash fans no matter what age group curious about rebirth. So lets now think about Aquaman...
Ethan:
Flash is actually in a scarier predicament than AQUAMAN is, I think. It's a big DC franchise that has had three tough re-starts in the past 5 years. And it isn't selling well now. We HAVE to get it right and we have to interest people again, or it's in real trouble.
Aquaman can wait a few years.
Aquaman can wait a few years.
