Can we get an updated video on this! Mainly with new versions of the books in collectors editions. Would be much appreciated!

[projektvyking]

These videos are essential for late-gamers like me who have a lot of catching up to do

[timmeyer]

I think Geoff Johns' run on the Flash was probably the best run on the Flash. So many moving parts, but still comprehensible. Johns definitely knew what he was doing. Thanks Omar & stay safe everyone.

Pray to the Comic gods for Mark Waids run to be collected on omnibus 🙏

The gap between savage velocity and mark waids first trade is a crime.

That's right, lol, I'm commenting again since I'm STILL rewatching these reading order videos. Just happened to be watching this one on a road trip, swung by a store I try to support when I can and spot the Wild West's hc :) Thanks so much

[armita]

Thanks so much for this! I've been putting together reading orders to start diving into DC stories so this is perfect timing because I wanted to start with Flash.

Just discovered your channel today and I had to subscribe.
I’ve been wanted to get into DC comics before final crisis. I remember reading final crisis just by itself. now I’m understanding there is a lot that happens before and after

[zack]

I’ve been meaning to start reading flash so this is the perfect video can’t wait for part 2

[shreyankdas]

Very excited for the next part. Thank you for this reading order. It is so helpful especially for new readers and collectors.

[bronan]

I've been waiting for a video like this for a loonnnggg time, thank you

[frasert]

I just finished Waid’s Born to Run, that was amazing, a real tear jerker honestly. Fantastic storytelling

[rotarydrifter]

Loved Mark Waid and Geoff John's flash runs.
I collected the singles back in the day. These stories are nostalgiac and still some of the best Flash stories.
It made Wally West my facorite character. We need a Mark Waid Omni for sure.

[ericsaye]

Thank you so much for this! :) i already knew it but The Flash is my fav and i love to talk and hear about him lol.

[jayden]

Thanks for making this video, I’ve wanted to read the comics for ages and I had no idea which ones to buy

[thedetective]

So the Wally and Barry we see throughout the post.crisis timeline originally lived in the silver age earth one timeline/universe? Correct me if I’m wrong: Barry Allen of the earth one universe sacrificed himself during crisis on infinite earths, reality gets rebooted and a new timeline/universe gets created and the Wally of earth one is just shifted into this new universe with all his memories from his old universe? he just continues living in the post crisis/new earth universe knowing he came from a different reality?

[AndreiSorin]

I never clicked on a video so fast in my life . I will click even faster if I see you releasing one on wonder woman . Thank you for doing these comprehensive guides

[ryanbluethunder]

Sees comprehensive look: instantly thumbs up! Picked up the Flash of Two Worlds after your vid, and have the Johns vol 1 (and readying up for the next Flash omnis!!!)

[CesarIsaacPerez]

Waiting on the Mark Waid Flash Omnibus, until then I'll enjoy the Geoff Johns Omni's.
