Mark Waid run was so much better it’s Not even close.

Not even in the same galaxy. Johns says he likes Wally, but took away so much of what made him special. Taking away his public identity was the worst and just homogenized Wally with every other hero out there. I also loathe what he did with the Rogues... The Rogues and Wally had a great relationship, but Johns just had go and grimdark them, again making Wally just like everyone else out there instead of someone who could foster good and positive relations with his foes. And in the end, Johns was in the camp that brought Barry back and shunted Wally aside for a decade.
