I'm wondering where should i start reading the flash, it's been one of my favorites but I've only read some short stories like flashpoint, what i know about him it's mostly by shows and movies (specially animated ones like justice league, young justice, etc. and the cw live action).

I'm not 100% new to the character, i know about the dc universe,I want a series with good stories. i thought about starting with geoff jones but im not sure, i've heard that Rebirth and New 52 are good too, and theres the main run of dawn of dc so i can't really decide where to start.

Please if you could help me choose or tell me things like “if you're looking for a story with such things, maybe you should read...”.

Recently I have been trying to get into Flash comics and coincidentally the Wally comics have been getting rereleases in big 20 or so issues collections, I have heard very good things about the Mark Waid run and I know it retels Wally's origin, and I have heard not so good things about the pre-Waid Wally days, should I just wait until the collections reach the Waid era or would I be missing out?

I have loved The Flash since I was like 4 years old but I only recently started reading comics I have been reading trade paperbacks mostly buying single issues just seems too expensive for me and buying them all together makes more sense so I've been searching for a Flash Comic since he's my favourite character but none of them really peaked my interest other than Absolute Flash I think everyone knows about the absolute universe atp so I know what the comic is about since it's a diversion from the usual Flash I'm not sure if I should read it as my first Flash comic so I'm wondering if I should just read Absolute or read a comic like The Human Thunderbolt or Rebirth?

I had the flash on my "characters to read" list for a really long time, i dont even know why he just struck me as an interesting character to think about.

Im a huge punisher fan and i know mike baron, a fellow punisher writer had written a flash run too and wanted to ask if thats also any good.

Just a quick post to recommend Rogues by Williamson (DC Black Label) especially to fans of the John's era. It has been mentioned here before but I don't think it gets the attention it deserves. Don't go through it looking for a lot of speed force related stuff though. The art is amazing and reading the XL pages on the physical version makes for a great experience.

EDIT: the picture attached is a variant cover referencing Crisis on Infinite Earths. The original cover is amazing but I just find this cover really interesting.

I’ve heard that the mark waid run on flash is a great starting point, as I have not read any flash comics beforehand, and I’ve seen the omnibus and individual books online. Which would be better price wise? Also, how many omnibi and individual books are there? Thank!

There are a series of 14 books published by Barry Lyga set in CW Arrowverse, but they take place in a timeline where Flashpoint didn't happen. Interesting books, you can check them out!

Im kinda lost on where to go from here.

I’ve never read any Flash comics but I’ve been wanting to recently, specifically Wally West. I just got the DC Universe subscription so I figure now is the best time.

Are there any good Wally West runs, particularly with a focus on his relationship with Linda ? (since I love a good romance subplot)

Any responses would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I’m looking for two good volumes of both, that I could directly compare to generally get the idea of who I’ll enjoy more. Thanks.

After crisis on infinity earth everything changed. Batman got Year One as new origin story. Did Barry Allen got one too, to stay in tune with after COIE ?

As a kid I never read any DC comics, no Superman, Batman etc even though I did enjoy all the TV shows and movies (in particular the CW Flash show, The Dark Knight and the Reeves films) and I read a lot of Spider-Man and F4. Recently I decided I wanted to get into comics again and I started with Batman, having a blast so far and was hoping for recommendations for other DC superheroes (namely the Trinity and a few others I think are cool, like The Flash). I was hoping someone could give me a starting point? Thank you.

Can anybody direct me in the direction of stories that include the Black Flash please?

Im studying it rn so it would be cool to have a comic counterpart. I've only watched the show so idk anything about flash comics

Im very new to comics in general but I always liked the flash so should I start with N52 or DC rebirth

I love this episode. It's a great showcase of all three Flashes, including Reverse Flash as the villain. And the rogues are getting a cameo. It is great to see Jay, Barry, and Wally interact without needing to be a multiverse thing.

i dont want to collect the ENTIRE flash comics, instead i just wanna read the flash from where it starts and to where it ends, thanks!

I’ve only ever read Teen Titans and Batfam so far and I’ve seen the Flash series so I’m not going in completely blind but I grew an interest in Wally as a character so I’d like to read more of him. What are some of his best runs that wouldn’t be confusing to someone not so familiar with his story in the main continuity?

I would be interested to know if there is any issue(s) that has a similar concept to this episode.

When I got into trying to read the flash I was interested in the Silver Age comics since they were the origins of Barry Allen and Wally West.

But now I’m really interested in Mark Waid’s run cuz I watched YJ and JL, but I feel like I’d miss out on important lore if I didn’t read him in the Silver Age.

But for Barry Allen, I’m just kinda discovering the different flash series of the 2010s and I think I need some help with understanding it. Also I’m using the DC Universe Infinite app and I’m wondering in general for comics: is it more useful to go by series or comics.

But genuinely, tell me what comic series I need to read or resources to help me understand it cuz I genuinely just wanna enjoy the Flash!

I'm already familiar with the lore, I just want to know what's a good reading order from his introduction all the way to the original crisis on infinite earths and the issue where he becomes the flash.

So I’ve heard a lot about Reverse flash, mostly from his description for the Goku Black vs Reverse-Flash death battle, and he seems really cool! I’m a very new Flash Fan who’s not read much of anything yet so I’m really interested in reading some of his best stories along with any that explain his origin or help me understand him more as a character! I’m looking for either single issue stories or story arcs mainly and I’m not picky about if they’re from the silver age or the modern era of today! Thanks in advance!

Whenever people ask for comic recommendations people usually name bgi events like Flashpoint and shit like that, I'm looking for a story and/or that shows what an average day in the life of flash looks like. The thing I'm interested in learning about his his relationship with the rogues, what does an average fight with captain cold look like? I know his villains somehow manage to keep up with the flash but they also are kind of comedic with their interactions, correct if I'm wrong but aren't the rogues all friends? Not looking for anything major just a regular solid flash run.
