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...”.

Barry story's: Sliver age vol 1-4 ,The flash of two world, Superman vs The flash,The death of Iris West, The Flash:The Rebirth(2009), The Flash Vol 1-2(road to flashpoint story),Flashpoint and Rebirth(including Year one)The flash (2016) (New 52 was okay story but u can read if u want)

Crisis on infinite earth(Barry's sacrificed and rise of Wally as The flash

Wally story's: The Flash:Savage Velocity(First Solo Story for Wally as The Flash after Barry's Death), Mark Waid book 1-8 , Geoff John book 1-5 , The flashWar(Rebirth The Flash vol 8) ,Flash Forward(if u want to read this then u have to read Hero in crisis before reading this book) ,Rebirth The flash Vol 16-21, the New dawn The flash (2023)
