Hey all I'm trying to start reading Flash. I've done some research and the good stuff seems to start with Mark Waids run. Problem is I only buy trades and Waids run doesn't get released in trades until September according to Amazon.
My question is, is it ok to start with Johns run and then go back to Waids? Should I just wait till September for Waids run to come out, or is a better alternative to read Johns Vol.3 12 issue run into Flashpoint and then New 52.
Thing is I've been a fan of animated Flash (Wally West) from DCAU and the animaed movies and I want the Flash that is most like the animated version. I've heard neither Barry or Wally is really as funny and juvenile as animated Flash but I want the one that's closest to it. I assume its Wally? Any help from Flash veterans appreciated.
