That's the better way to do it.
If the subordinate clause is first, use a comma.
Don't use a comma if the subordinate clause is last.

I would, too.

Why is there a comma after I would?
Is for dramatic effect?

"I would too" would also be correct, right?

Thanks!

Some people always put a comma there, some never put a comma there, and some put a comma there only if they want to add emphasis. There isn't a real need for it, and the Chicago Manual of Style, for one, argues against it, but I'm one of the crowd that likes to use it anyway.
