Flash 

0 - 247 (2x165)
Wizard - The Flash 1/2

This is Flash Vol 2, featuring the 3rd Flash Wally West, starring in his own book after the death of Barry Allen in Crisis on Infinite Earths. It ran 233 issues (Counting "#0," "#1/2," and "#1,000,000") from June 1987 through March 2006. The title was replaced with Flash: The Fastest Man alive, where Bart Allen was the eponymous star for too short a time before getting murdered. Afterwards Vol 2 was restarted as of issue #231 in 2007. It ended in February 2009 with issue #247.

There is a key with Impulse's 1st appearance in #92. 

All Flash # 1 (Sep 07)

Wally West learns of the death of his cousin Bart and seeks justice against The Rogues, who afraid of the repercussions of their actions from the superhero community have turned on Inertia, Bart's killer. Wally catches and drains Inertia completely of speed leaving him statue-like in the Flash Museum staring at an exhibit honouring Bart's life.

The Flash Our Worlds At War (2001) # 1

Flash and Cyborg battle against a horde of Parademons attacking New York when to make matters worse the Black Racer turns up to claim souls. When he targets a young girl Flash picks her up and starts running pursued by the Apokaliptian reaper.

Wonder Woman # 214

This crossed over with the Flash for one story

The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (2006 - 07)

1 - 13

During "One Year Later," Flash Vol 2 ended and made way for this series, which starred Wally's successor, Bart Allen. He started as Impulse, before becoming Kid Flash then he eventually got the promotion and then pretty much promptly got killed by The Rogues. 😭

The Flash - Secret Files & Origins # 1 (2010)

Blackest Night - The Flash (2010)

1 - 3

The living members of the Rogues gallery are up against their dead ex-members and Flash gains a Blue Lantern ring using the power of hope to counter the Black Lantern power trying to recruit Kid Flash (Bart Allen)

The Flash - Rebirth (2009 - 2010)

1 - 6

After being dead for a REALLY long time (in comic book terms anyway), Barry Allen returns from the Speedforce! Some people say that he went to the Marvel universe for a time and engaged in a great race in Quasar #17 (1990). Writer of Crisis Marv Wolfman said many times that he left a back door in the plot to allow Barry to be resurrected at any time.

The Flash

The Road to Flashpoint (2010 - 11)

1 - 12

Flashpoint (2011)

1 - 3

Barry Allen wakes up in a new reality, one where Wonder Woman's Amazons are at war with Aquaman & the Atlanteans, Superman is nowhere to be seen with Cyborg taking his place as the world's premier hero and where Thomas Wayne is Batman! This 5 parter was kind of the central book in the Flashpoint story with many other stories told in relation to it. There were sixteen 3-parters and a few one-shots totalling 61 issues in total. I'm not too sure how many I actually collected of them. This was the kickstarter for the New 52 I think, you know what I can't even remember now, all these storylines are merging into one in my head!!

So that's 291 DC comics today, making the new totals

DC = 3150

Marvel = 59

Others = 53

Come back next week and we'll look at a few more books
