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

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

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.

Thank you, my brother and you stay healthy and safe.

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.

List for quick overview (didn't get all the authors/artists names as I was watching it sorry): 1) The Life Story of The Flash (by Iris West) / Flash of Two Worlds (Seems optional, but important story) 2) The Flash Book One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six by Mark Waid 3)The Flash by Grant Morrison, Mark Millar (Collects Emergency Stop + Human Race) 4) The Flash Omnibus Vol 1, Vol 2, Vol 3 by Geoff Johns 5) DC Crossover Event "Infinite Crisis" 6) Lightning in a Bottle 7) Full Throttle 8) JLA/JSA Crossover "Lightning Saga" 9) The Wild Wests

[@thedetective9631]

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?

These are so handy thank you omar. Maybe you could do a batman, wonder woman( for the film or superman next?). Ps how long does it take to compile the reading orders?

[@NearMintCondition]

Oh... lets see, usually the prep work is rereading some of the books and then making sure the issues are contained in the book. For example all solicits show that Flash by Waid only goes up to issue 129, when in fact it goes up to 130. It takes a couple of weeks, an hour or so a day. Not much, but I know how much it helps people. :)

[@adams.messinger4610]

The fact that DC hasn't made Waid's Flash/Impulse runs into omnis is ludicrous. People have been asking for Waid Flash collections for a decade, if not more. I want everything Waid did with speedsters (Yes, this includes JLA: Year One and BatB: GL/Flash) in omni format!

Hey Omar, hope you are doing well in this time of quarantine. I was reading the Flash of Two Worlds Deluxe edition and was wondering if the dark area that surrounds the shade from Jay Garrick's vibrations on pg 100 is a reference to the speed zone? I am not too familiar with the speed zone but I have seen it in the t v show. Keep up the good work!

They do talk about the speed force in the books, and that is an artist portrayal of it for sure. Tnank you for watching.

Didn't realize how many talented artist were on those runs :Wieringo, Larocca,Ramos, Pacheco,Kollins. It's a shame artist like Wieringo and Michael Turner got cut down in their prime. Would love to see their work today. I remember having this original collection but sold it years ago during a decluttering phase. Some entertaining stories to be sure. Can't believe they never reprinted the Flash Chain Lightning story arc yet.

[@erikeagler9645]

Okay so let me start by saying great video! I am new to reading comics and I want to start reading the flash because he is my favorite character, So my question is why are issues skipped from different volumes? For example why is volume 1 issues from 1-10 and then volume 2 is 20-25? Like what happen to the issues in between? Do they not matter to the story or what? Honestly confused.

[@NearMintCondition]

Welcome aboard! Hey, I think sometimes what happens is the issues are contained in another book, like part of crossover. Or sometimes (and I hate when this happens) they are left out because they weren't written by the writer in the book they are focusing on. But follow the guide, because that is as complete as it gets for now. Until we get more books.

[@erikeagler9645]

Near Mint Condition that makes sense! Thank you!

[@jabezcreed]

Seeing you flip through the different books reinforces my opinion that I just can't stand art from the era of Infinite Crisis. Not sure why that is the case.

[@NearMintCondition]

oh I love Phil Jimenez' artwork, not crazy about his writing though. :) But yeah its all subjective.

[@jabezcreed]

It's not Infinite Crisis's Phil Jimenez art itself, but most of the stuff in that omnibus is an example of why I have no interest in early 2000s art.

Great Video, I'll have to check out that Max Mercury story when I do an impulse read through. Now I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate, but I do believe that there does exist a collection for the Tom Peyer written issues of Wally's flash Run, That's issues #238-243. The story is titled Fast Money and is collected under DC Graphic Novel Collection which was a series of comic collections that were specific to the UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics_Graphic_Novel_Collection#Special_issues I believe Fast Money was collected under DC Graphic Novel Collection #113, and it was released within the past couple years. Its kind of random that of all the stories they collected, they picked that one. I'm Hype to get Savage Velocity in May, that gives the first 18 issues of the Wally run, and then hopefully they finish out the Loebs stuff. That's gonna be a fat Trade. The Waid Collection still needs a Book 7 (coming in May), and then a Book 8 (#151-159, 162, 1,000,000, Flash Secret Files and Origins #2, and Life Story of the Flash), and a possible Book 9 if they want to collect his third stint on Wally (plus the All-Flash one shot) and possibly his Brave and the Bold miniseries on Barry. Maybe then we get an omnibus collecting everything? The Silver Age Omni's cover a lot of ground for anyone who wants to read that era of Flash, #105-199, and the four showcase stories. Hopefully DC gets the ball rolling on the Bronze Age stuff.
