About this deal

Gross Point #1: "Welcome to Gross Point" (co-written by Waid and Brian Augustyn, art by S. M. Taggart, anthology, 1997) Then we have a story focusing on the return of Dr alchemy a new one basically and how Wally fights against him is the big story and its so good, the way Wally uses his powers to defeat this new foe and then teaming up with Jay and yeah that was awesome!

If you just consider "Born to Run", this is absolutely not a weak start to Waid's run ... but the other materials in this volume are certainly lesser than that. His first major project for Marvel Comics was as one of the writers of the " Age of Apocalypse" crossover. [14] He later co-created the Onslaught character for the X-Men line. [15]Includes the Ka-Zar short story (art by Andy Kubert) from Tales of the Marvel Universe (anthology one-shot, 1997) Also collects Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends #1 (written by Ron Marz, drawn by Ron Lim, Tom Grindberg, Jeff Johnson, Bart Sears and Andy Smith, 1997) As editor, Waid also did his part to save the most ambitious concept and biggest casualty of Pre-Crisis DC comics, and one which is only now finding mainstream acceptance in superhero storytelling: the Multiverse. As editor of Batman: Gotham by Gaslight,Mark Waid stood at ground zero as the “Elseworlds” line came to be. Under the Elseworlds label, DC’s icons could tell any kind of story against any kind of setting, without the baggage of how continuity as a whole would be impacted. As a writer, Waid himself would go on to contribute some of the most significant Elseworlds stories ever told…and even introduce a radical concept which would allow all DC stories to exist among each other in an infinitely rich tapestry.

Then the Return of Barry Allen. It was a pretty frustrating read knowing it WASN'T Barry so I was curious to see how the mystery would resolve itself and it was kind of stupid. Although - I will say the very last issue of the 6 part story did have some great character development for Wally. Following Flash Archives Volume 6, collected Flash editions basically skips the whole gosh darn bronze age (approximately the 70’s). You can essentially mark a close to this era of the Flash with the above omnibus editions or:

Dark Crisis

Issue #7 was solicited for a June 2020 release, delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and ultimately cancelled. [8] But throughout his work for DC, Mark Waid’s greatest cause was his relentless effort to keep the rich 30th century world of the Legion of Super-Heroes alive. Let’s face it, when the premise of a story is that it’s set a thousand years in the future, that future is going to keep looking outdated as the decades roll on. But with the Legion’s many worlds, heroes and stories representing the ultimate future of the DC Universe itself, the Legion is worth preserving and worth reinventing. Which is why Mark Waid did it all three times. First as editor, by overseeing a “Five Years Later” time jump which would lend the Legion the maturity it needed in a changing comic book landscape by aging all of its players forward. Then in 1994, Waid was heavily involved in a complete Legion reboot around DC’s “Zero Hour” event. Ten years later, Waid did much of the writing around another Legion revival, sometimes called the “Threeboot,” attempting to synthesize the best ideas from the Zero Hour era and the classic, original Legion. It was a concept which Waid refused to give up on even when its future seemed bleakest—something that all of us with a sometimes-neglected favorite character can relate to.

In 2000, Waid co-wrote a series named Empire with Barry Kitson, whose protagonist was a Doctor Doom-like supervillain named Golgoth who had defeated all superheroes and conquered the world. The series was originally published by Gorilla Comics, a company formed by Waid, Kurt Busiek and several others, but the company folded after only two issues were published. [26] Empire was completed under the DC Comics label in 2003 and 2004. [7] Waid wrote the first year of Crossgen's Ruse series. [16] [27]Collects: The Flash #119-128, Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends #1-2, The Flash Plus Nightwing #1, Showcase 96′ #12, DC Universe Holiday Bash #1 Flash Story X-Men vol. 2 (with Jeff Matsuda (#49), Pasqual Ferry (#51) and Andy Kubert; issues #49 and 56 are scripted by Waid from plots by Scott Lobdell, 1996) collected as: Waid collaborated with artists Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary on JLA and the JLA: Heaven's Ladder (Oct. 2000) one-shot. [24] [25]

Issue #2 features " The Late Night World of Drew Friedman", an interview conducted by Waid and accompanied by samples of Friedman's work. Weiland, Jonah (June 16, 2003). "Waid fired, off Fantastic Four, Marvel EIC Quesada responds". CBR.com. Archived from the original on June 21, 2013.Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 265: "The brainchild of writer Mark Waid and artist Mike Wieringo, Impulse burst onto the scene at quite a pace." All three Flashes are put into good use; Jay and Barry have real narrative purpose and aren't included just for the sake of it. Incorruptible (with Jean Diaz, Horacio Domingues (#5–10), Marcio Takara and Damian Couceiro (#28–30), 2009–2012) collected as:
