Look at those delicious books! I started reading Flash starting with Flash Rebirth back in 2006 or so and had no idea wtf was going on. Then Flashpoint and New 52 onward. I'm working through Waid's Flash right now on DC Universe. So...much...content.
You said it, brother! Lots of content.
Great video, Omar. Man i really wasnt fond of Wally being left out of the new 52 but i still think Manapul's and Buccellato's run on the Flash is suuuper underrated
Eric Odd Their run was solid.
These reading order videos are soo helpful, keep up the amazing work Omar!
1H Squire thank you so much for the kind words.
Omg yessss!! This is the first time in a long time i have waited for a video! Thank you so much!
You can rest now thank you! Hope It didn’t disappoint.
Near Mint Condition of course not! You are amazing and this really helps me starting my comic book collection. Never stop doing what you’re doing! A Batman Reading Order wouldn’t be completely awful either! :D
Very, very good videos about The Flash, one of my favourite superheroes of all time! For a time, Wally West was THE BEST superhero, the one that I wanted to collect every single issue from his monthly series! I ordered and bought dozens and dozens of Mark Waid's run (Mike Baron's and Messner-Loeb's were harder to get but now a collection is coming!).
The Mark Waid run deserves a series of omnibus... Johns run already had one, but DC decided to start a new omnibus series, instead of going for new material in omnibus... just plain stupid (but if they don't do an omnibus of Byrne's Superman run, we know that expectations are low).
I have to say that bringing back Barry Allen as the Flash, was one of the most sad moments in comic history for me... he might be the Flash for a big number of comic readers (specially after the TV series), but he's not MY Flash. I tried to read his stories, specially because Johns was writing them, but stopped after Flashpoint (good stories, but not appealing to me). Read a few years later the Buccellato/Manapul, also good but stopped when they left. After this run, from what I understand, the stories are mediocre at best... tried again with Joshua Williamson, but stopped after the second deluxe edition... let me just say that Barry Allen, from Flashpoint until now, seems to be out of character, probably closer to the TV character, and sometimes like a man-child (or a crybaby?)... at least he should be written in a way to respect his history in the DC universe and his death in Crisis... I just wonder who likes the actual Flash!?
After reading Johns story bringing back Wally West, I thought that he and DC were redeeming themselves and giving him the proper respect. One of the most emotional Flash stories I have ever read! But I guessed wrong... it seemed that even being in Titans and Flash series, nobody really knew what to do with him... now I still have to read Heroes in Crisis, but I'm afraid to do it! I know that Flash Forward tries to undo some of the things done in HiC, but let's see what's coming for him. I only hope that DC (and the writer) just respects his legacy in Flash history (the same with Jay Garrick, Bart Allen/Impulse)!
Sorry for the long comment!
Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Nuno Oliveira no worries about the post I enjoy reading them. You are absolutely right. This version of the Flash. Specially the Rebirth run is very much the CW tv show. Wally fan for life.
Kollins and Manapaul (I'm probably spelling those names wrong) had the best art on the Flash - for me. I can't remember if Humberto Ramos worked on the book back in the day, but I know he had a great Impulse design. Thanks for the show Omar.
Brett Booth is also a solid artist on pencils. He is a journeyman in comics. He has done so much. He even worked on Heroes Reborn Fantastic Four. I first remember Manapaul's name from his work on Legion of Superheroes with Jim Shooter. I forgot about his work on Witchblade. Thanks for reminding me about that. Keep up these great videos.
Tim Meyer you aren’t spelling it wrong. :) love their artwork, my friend. I always remembered Booth from his days at Image. Big fan of his art.
@@NearMintCondition I actually picked up the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter where he did the art too, but I think that was when Marvel was trying to turn novels into comics like with Ender's Game. Have a great night.
By Crom, no one else can hold a candle to you when it comes to these reading order vids. You blow me away each and every time, my dear friend. You're simply the best! #OmarRules #HowDoesHeKeepAllThatKnowledgeInHisBrain #MelanieIsMarriedToAGenius
Comic Book Crazy my dear friend I always enjoy seeing you drop in. I hope you are doing well during these times.
Watching these Flash reading order videos again. Finally getting around to putting mine together and these are SUCH a huge help!! I hear there is supposedly a "Redemption of Wally" storyline planned.........crossing fingers they do him justice. I haven't read any of Heroes in Crisis and from little I've read, lol, not sure I want to.
I'm so glad this could help. Yeah, they need to do right by my boy. Wally.
As always, Omar, appreciate you grinding out these videos! I'm a big fan of the Flash but have surprisingly read very little of his material. I've read Johns' Rebirth, and I've collected all of the Geoff Johns paperbacks and the first of Mark Waid's; I also have some more Wally West material in the Crisis on Infinite Earths deluxe edition and in some Wolfman New Teen Titans omnis. In addition, I have two of the Flash silver age TPBs. Going to have to get to it during this self-quarantine.
Cinematic Galaxy my brother I hope you are staying safe out there. Now is the perfect time to read those books.
I've never read any Flash, I might have to check some out.
Dew it
TheMineEmerald now is the time to catch up :)
I would definitely say that Joshua Williamson run feels like a soul successor to Geoff Johns run.
It's really excellent I really enjoyed the first 10 issues godspeed was very intriguing villian.
He's arguably my favorite character right now as the series is still going on right. For me villain on his role of redemption. That somehow Joshua Williamson made. Speak for me at least very intriguing of a character as much as reverse flash.
I really wish they had continued the Deluxe editions.
The first comic I ever picked up every month from my LCS was Heroes in Crisis, and then I followed it up with FLASH Forward. I'll always enjoy it for that, but I feel so guilty 😂
Thanks Omar great video I love these reading guides.
Andrew Zaccaria thank you so much!
I was looking at the issue in the upcoming Flashpoint Omnibus.. Is this not a chronological story? Seems like only first 5 issues then rest are what happened with other characters during that event?
This omnibus collects Flashpoint #1-5, Booster Gold #44-47, The Flash #9-12, Flashpoint: Reverse-Flash #1, Flashpoint: Abin Sur the Green Lantern #1-3, Flashpoint: Emperor Aquaman #1-3, Flashpoint: Batman Knight of Vengeance #1-3, Flashpoint: Citizen Cold #1-3, Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint #1-3, Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons #1-3, Flashpoint: Deathstroke and the Curse of the Ravager #1-3, Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance #1-3, Flashpoint: The Outsider #1-3, Flashpoint: Secret Seven #1-3, Flashpoint: The Canterbury Cricket #1, Flashpoint: Wonder Woman and the Furies #1-3, Flashpoint: Kid Flash Lost #1-3, Flashpoint: Project Superman #1-3, Flashpoint: Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown #1-3, Flashpoint: Green Arrow Industries #1, Flashpoint: Grodd of War #1, Flashpoint: Hal Jordan #1-3, and Flashpoint: The Legion of Doom #1-3.
Wally is doing so much better since this video lol
Waiting for this all week! So cool seeing you look over my all favorite comics! I’m shocked you don’t have the Manapaul Omi
redkalel so the secret behind that was I didn’t want to have just one 52 run of Flash and the rest not collected in omnibus format. I may pick it up one day.
Hi, I would love to see a Part 3 of this reading order
Brett booth is probably the best artist regularly putting out work today...
Thomas Judge his art is still gorgeous.
I know you said the rebirth run continues with vol 7 etc but I wish you had them there and showed them
Yesterday was my birthday and the wife bought me some flash stuff including the Flash Rebirth Hardcover Vol 2. Now I’m scrambling to get vol 1 and 3 as well as The Button crossover. Great video. I didn’t realize The Flash had so much history. Glad to see Bart Allen back. Loved the original Young Justice Team with Connor Kent, Tim Drake and Impulse.
Happy birthday! Seriously!
Near Mint Condition Thank You Omar!!!!!
I have all of these books, except "Heroes in Crisis". I cannot wait to sink my teeth into them! This will be awesome during the Quarantine!
You got some good reading ahead of you.
I read too little of Flash, even being one of my favorites heroes, until The New 52, and I loved, since then I'm reading the character. After read 80 Years Of The Fastest Man Alive this year, I'm in duty to get the previous runs.
Thanks by the videos.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
15:45 best flash art,just awesome.
YES!!
I dunno, it seems that at 1:30 the book pile was about to fall 😂. Thanks for the flash videos man, i loved them
HAHAHAHA they probably did. They always fall.
Great work there! Kudos!
Jo Cool thank you, sir!
You're making me look old!😅
I would be one of those pissed of flash fans after Heroes in Crisis. I did not know about Flash Forward though so let's see if DC can win me back...again. Make up your mind DC.
J V let’s hope they can, brother. I’m in the same boat.
Just stop reading Flash at Flash War and pretend the rest hasn't happened. Haha
@@jabezcreed Unfortunately that's what DC tried to convince us to do with Flashpoint. Pretend that Identity Crisis, Sacrifice, Infinite Crisis where the heroes did heinous acts never happen. This is a whole new universe where the heroes are still heroes...until we start doing similar controversial stories in this universe.
Thank you so so much for this video. Really appreciate it. This has been very helpful.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
I’m always looking to complete my flash reading order and then I look at all the old TPB and realize that I should stick with Johns and Waids flash runs, LOL
LOL you sound like lots of other people. Although some of the N52 is very underrated.
Carmine pronunciation: Car as in...well, car / mi as the personal pronoun "me" / ne as the first two letters of the words "net, negligence, etc...". Very good pronunciation of the surname Di Giandomenico, nailed it 👍
Woooh I got one right. :)
You should do a comprehensive reading order of spawn deadpool please
I can do those sometime.
Thanks big fan of your videos
Could you do an updated version like a part 3 on top of this?
Hi Omar!
Although I've been a subscriber of this channel for long, found The Flash reading order videos while browsing through the content today. Just one question, any reason you didn't include the Flashpoint omnibus in it?
Hey there! I don’t think it was out when I did the video. That’s the reason.
good news about Flash Mark Waid book 8
it DOES collect Pat McGreals fill in issue between Waid and John's run
Great video! And just to clarify we should read the “final crisis omnibus,” “blackest night omnibus,” and “brightest day omnibus” before the flash rebirth? I guess I got confused for those three at the beginning.
Yes, all that before Flashpoint. Then NU52 then Rebirth.
I've been looking forward to this one Omar
Man, I’m crying my heart here...where is the Comprehensive Batman Reading Order by The Uncanny Omar? 😎😉✌️
That will come. :) Might take me multiple parts to do it though.
Is it possible to do a reading order from before Crisis?
And will there be a part 3 of the Flash reading order continuing this?
There will be if more books are added. For sure.
@@NearMintCondition Awesome Thank you!!
I only need one more book for the Flash collection that you had and it's the newer Omnibus by Geoff Johns , do you know where I can find one? And How about the Final Crisis Omnibus?
Excellent videos. Been wanting to read thru Flash bc I always like them when they show up as supporting roles. I've only read Flashpoint and Rebirth (2016). I found first Geoff Johns omnibus for $15 (!) so I'll probably read that first, but all the runs look great. Oh and I did read Heroes in Crisis...Mann's art is some of my favorite in current comics, but I understand why Flash fans were pissed off. I read there was a lot of weird behind the scenes stuff, so I wonder if the result was Tom Kings original intention/plot?
That Johns omnibus is one of my favorite omnis. I always wonder how much is editorial mandate in some of these stories.
Blackest Night and Brightest Day were definitely great stories.
I just felt like Blackest Night was the great
And somehow brightest day was a great sequel to that story.
There was a lot of stuff being revealed in Brightest Day.
Swamp Thing Black Lantern Swamp Thing oh god so good
I have the DC Essentials version of Blackest Night; do I need to get the omnibus to avoid any confusion?
Multimedia Man nope, you are good with the Essentials.
The Wild Wild West (When I roll into the)
The Wild Wild West (When I stroll into the)
The Wild Wild West (When I bounce into the)
"Heading for the 90s. Living in the Wild Wild West" - The Escape Club
Michael Emond hahahha
I have a question. Can you start reading with vol 8 of the new 52 run? I'm really interested in the zoom storyline drawn by Brett Booth
You can jump in for sure and read from there.
A Wolverine reading order would be sweet. I get lost in all the changes & reboots with Death, return, death, x23, all new, old man etc etc
You got it.
You need to do flash year one hardcover review!!!
I don't think I even have it.
Surprised you didn't upgrade to Manapul omnibus!
so the secret behind that was I didn’t want to have just one 52 run of Flash and the rest not collected in omnibus format. I may pick it up one day.
@@NearMintCondition That makes sense. I really hope DC collected gets in gear on this stuff.
So is wally west stories are just the best to start reading the flash series? Idk anything about wally west except in tv series and dislike him.
I havent read any superhero comics and searched around to get into flash comic. I was ready to read The flash rebirth 2009 but im so confused to what to read cause lots of recommendation to what to read first.
"Salvation Run" is before Final crisis? Thanks
Yes. During McDuffies run.
Omar what are your thoughts on the CW Flash show?
John Spartan I liked the first season and that’s the only one I saw.
Outstanding episode!
Thank you so much.
I'm confused, what's the difference between the Flash rebirth by Geoff Johns, from 2010, compared to the Flash rebirth from 2016 until now?
The Geoff Johns one was a six issue Flash miniseries while the 2016 DC Rebirth was a company wide relaunch of it's entire line of ongoing monthly superhero comic titles. Much like The New 52.
@@ComicsCompanion Yeah I figured that out now, but thank you for the reply lol
What are some of the reading orders you have on the polls? because I would love to see you do one on Robin (Tim)
They vary. This month was X-force, Wolverine and Duck Comics.
Another great video, Omar, thank you! One question, though: since the reading order is not restricted by hardcover/deluxe/omnibus editions (you also present TPBs), is there a reason you did not include the rest Flash Rebirth run after the Deluxe vol 3?
Thank you my brother. I didn't include them, because I don't have them yet. I'm a sucker that still believes we will get a Deluxe volume four. I have four more months of waiting for an announcement.
@@NearMintCondition haha I thought so. This is also one reason for me that I don't have much Flash content (I am mostly collecting Batman), only Geoff Johns stuff (the new omnibus, rebirth, flashpoint and batman flashpoint). On the one hand, I can't decide in which format I want them. On the other hand, taking into consideration that DC has proceeded with solicitations such as Road to No man's land Omnibus (let's see what will happen with that), I have hope that there will be also deluxe/omnibus format solicitations for titles such as Flash also. We are looking forward for your Batman reading order soon! :D
That will come, i'm waiting for a couple of more books before sending it to the poll.
@@NearMintCondition can't wait to "fix" the order on my library! :-p
ooh awesome and i love wally west he's my flash in my opinion
I'm suprised Omar, no Flash Manapul Omni in the video!
so the secret behind that was I didn’t want to have just one 52 run of Flash and the rest not collected in omnibus format. I may pick it up one day.
@@NearMintCondition I can't knock you for that, collect it all DC!
So the omnibuses from the begging are read in the order they were mentioned?
That is correct.
@@NearMintCondition thanks
I think there are two highly underrated Flash runs. The first being Geoff Johns’s Flash Rebirth/Road to Flashpoint up to and including Flashpoint. I love these issues. Such a great run. I really wish DC has included these stories in the Absolute Flashpoint. They definitely deserve the attention. The second Flash run I love which gets no love is the second half of the New 52 run from Vendeti/Jensen. These stories are amazing. I’d love to see DC give us a Flash New 52 vol. 2 omnibus. I’d buy that in a second.
John Lindsay I would love for them in an omnibus format. The N52 run.
You should do a Titans / Teen Titans Reading order
CubzZero Productions I will one day. Problem is all mine are custom bound.
will you do a comprehensive reading order of the mignolaverse?
I can do that some time. Its kind of a beast because its all over the place.
I cannot find the flash new 52 vol 8 anywhere
It’s currently out of print.
@@NearMintCondition are more going to be printed any time soon?
I was disappointed Jay Garricks appearance story went nowhere.
I love Jay, but really Rebirth went nowhere.
Please do a reading order of Batman
That will be added to the Patreon poll this summer. Waiting on some trades to be released.
LOVE THE FLASH GOOD SHOW
I've only seen the first season.
It's funny when you said New 52 was like a slap in the face to Wally West fan because Wally's own existence if a slap in the face to Barry Allen fans.
Barry could've been handled way better and Wally took that away imo. Still like Wally tho but at heart I'm a Barry person since he's the main Flash as a whole.
Green Arrow Pls
weird there's not a lot of flash omnis
mrrehino I know. I want some Waid in Omnibus format.
Can you do black panther ?
I can add that to the poll.
Flash rebirth as good or maybe better than Green Lantern rebirth.
It felt right Barry coming back
And how the reverse flash was definitely a part of the story was very intriguing
Batman
Omar, I always thought of you as someone with Spanish as their first or second language. Though, you have some trouble with Spanish surnames. What's up with that?
Which names, brother?
@@NearMintCondition sometimes you struggle a bit with a name and you say: I hope I am pronouncing this right. Those names often look Spanish, to me. Could be wrong, I am Dutch mysels. I would probably butcher them, too.
I've seen comments on how well my names are pronounced from the Latin root. The ones I have issues with are some European names.
didn't Rebirth happen after Final Crisis?
Matt Tunstall I thought that too. It's when Barry comes back to deal with darkseid
It did. That's why I talked about it about it after mentioning Final Crisis.
@@NearMintCondition I probably didn't hear that bit, I'm sorry dude
Matt Tunstall no worries my dood. I like people keeping me on my toes and sometimes this gets confusing. There is Flash Rebirth and then Flash Rebirth all in this video.
@@NearMintCondition I like to think of it as Flash: Rebirth and DC Rebirth: Flash. the same with Green Lantern
Didn't care for the new 52 flash series it not bad I just didn't care for it
Not a huge fan on Final crisis. I felt that event was very weak. It does have a lot of good parts in there I will give it that fly over off of that particular story I'm not a huge fan of it I'm just not. For me it just didn't make a lot of sense it's just I was trying to figure it out on a story. But it was for me at least very confusing for the main story all the spinoffs made a whole lot of sense the main story was very confusing for some reason.
I will say that one with the only one Legion of 3 worlds like the main story made no sense to me
Now Rogues Revenge oh my God that was good that blew me away good. The rose completely killing you know who( not going to ruin who they kill but it was a Savage moment at the end of the story)
I was like damn man you didn't have to do him dirty like that
I tried to like The Flash... a lot... but Barry Allen is quite boring!
eduardo anaya that’s why Wally is the best Flash!
That's why Wally West is the goat
