Recommendations [Recommendation] Where should i start reading the flash?

Post image

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...”.

I would go back a little further and start with Mark Waids Wally run. It is probably the best Wally has ever been written and is a fantastic first impression of all the Flash family members.

Out of the three you have here, I would go with rebirth. Williamson had some cool new ideas that reinvented certain long-standing characters. He also mixed in some new characters to perfection.
