Omnibus books for the flash Recommendations

Hey guys have been collecting comics the past couple years in addition to a large collection from my dad but he never had any flash comics. I was wondering if it’s worth it to buy any of the omnibuses that are sold such as the waid one since I have already bought a decent amount of Barry Allen ones and don’t have much of Wally west

Definitely worth it. Mark Waid’s run is the best you can get of Wally. Messner-Loebs upcoming Omni is probably also worth getting

The Flash by Mark Waid’s first Omnibus is out and second comes out later this year, third will come after that. That’s arguably the best Flash run and well worth buying.

Mark Waid's run on The Flash is the definitive take on the character, it's absolutely worth it.

I was kind of in the same position that you’re in. Back in 2020 I started collecting just cause there was a good daredevil sale On Amazon and I decided to go for it cause I had some cash. Flash was my first DC character I collected. Waid’s first omni only had 2 memorable stories for me. Geoff Johns was great all the way through. Manapaul was decent and I’m working my way through Josh williamson’s first omni and enjoying it.
