My Flash stuff is the most recent "subcollection" to take off for me, having "started" with The Secret of Barry Allen and not really counting the Flashpoint volumes to pulling those in, and adding a number of other volumes in 2016…including having pre-ordered the Flash by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato Omnibus prior to being laid off.
As Flashpoint was an "event," I’d had those books grouped with my other "event books," but decided that as the only "event series" that I have like this (and keeping what I do have of Blackest Night with the Green Lantern stuff, made sense to me to move Flashpoint over to fit in right after the Road to Flashpoint volume, leading directly to the Omnibus (which has the first 25 or so issues of the New 52 run).
I would hope that there’ll be another omnibus collecting the back half of the series, but for now, I’m more interested in/looking forward to The Flash by Geoff Johns vol. 3 and The Flash by Mark Waid vol. 1!

Comic Reviews by Walt 
Not going to lie, I got pretty excited when I started looking at this picture of your Flash comics and kept saying, “I’ve read that…and that…and that” and realized I’ve read everything you have collected! Well, at least everything up until Flashpoint, but I’m right on the cusp of that “event” and will be getting to it within a week or so. If I can say I’ve read even a small portion of the comics you have in your truly impressive collection, I count that as a win 🙂
And I’m pretty sure I can directly link some of my Flash purchases to your coverage of the books. 🙂
(and huge as my collection may be, it’s also a bit of “accumulation,” leaving me plenty of room to be jealous of what others have collected) 😉
All that said…virtually always cool to see photos of others’ collections, and to get to show off my own.
And thank you!
