    I recently have read several back issues from Waid's FF run and have really been enjoying how fun it is. This is the first time I have read anything by Waid, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend anything else he has written that is similar in tone and quality. Thanks!

    It really is the best FF run in my opinion. Have you read Unthinkable yet? Easily the best FF arc of all time.

    For other stuff on Waid's best work, you can't go wrong with Superman: Birthright, Kingdom Come, and JLA: Tower of Babel.

    Thanks for the suggestions. As for Unthinkable, the Prologue and Parts 2 and 3 are in a big lot of back issues I just bought. Hopefully, I'll be able to appreciate the arc even without Part 1.

    Sounds like most things by Waid are worth checking out. According to his ComicVine page, he had a long run on Flash. Are those issues worth searching for in back issue bins?

    @SpacemanSpiff: JLA: Year One. Waid's run on Legion of Super-Heroes was also excellent. Of course, Daredevil.

    I have about 8 issues from the JLA: Year One series but haven't read them yet. I'll have to pull 'em out and take a look!

    If you can get them then sure. He's in the top 2 Flash writers.
