For the first time since the 60s, The Flash has his own ongoing UK comic published by Titan. They tested the waters in June 2015 by releasing a 100 page one shot souvenir issue of the Flash. This must have sold well as in November an ongoing 76 page Flash series began titled DC Superheroes: The Flash. Perhaps so that they can alternate the lead hero if Flash's popularity dies down. Harley Quinn also features in a back up strip in each issue. Titan have never had much luck with titles not containing Batman. Their four long running comics being Batman, Gotham Central, Batman & Superman and Justice League Trinity all of which feature Batman. Around the same time The Flash ongoing comic debuted, Green Arrow and Supergirl also had a comic each begin. Neither of which lasted more than a few issues. So far the Flash has outrun sharing their cancellation fate.
