Or that would be the case if Geoff Johns wasn’t such a big deal now and The Flash wasn’t suddenly the lynch pin in the DCU. Sadly, they have been exiled to my long boxes never to be read again. Those Waid and Johns Flash comics are some of my favorites in the modern era and I look back on them with great fondness. When you combine Waid and Johns’ time on the book you get a virtually unbroken 11 year run of fantastic Flash comics on a book that crashed and burned almost immediately once Johns left and which did not recover until Johns came back in The Flash: Rebirth. (After a one issue fill-in by Pat McGreal.) Johns then proceeded to embark on his own celebrated run, guiding Wally West and the gang for three years. With everyone’s attention currently focused on DC’s future, let’s take a trip back to DC’s illustrious recent past.ġ1 years ago, after revitalizing the character and bringing him to previously unseen levels of prominence, writers Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn handed the reins of The Flash to a relative newcomer named Geoff Johns.
