Intro
When I heard about Flash’s Rogues getting their own tie-ins
for Forever Evil, I was pretty happy. Because I really enjoyed these
characters’ time in reading The Flash series, especially during The Flash
Annual #1 or the Gorilla Grodd arc. Those issues really did a good job on
fleshing out who these characters are and how different they are than the usual
villains. I got to noticed that they really don’t like to harm innocent people
and they only want to steal. So, seeing them have a heart is what I really like
about them. But since reading the tie-ins I have grown to like the characters
even more and they kind of remind me of The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, which
is another great series you should try reading. I just hope the support of
these issues will ring the bell for the Rogues to have their own series. It’s
really worth giving this series that much of a try and this is their best issue
yet.
Story
After discovering The Royal Flush Gang is holding Glider
captive, they decided to fight any threat that comes their way to save her.
The Good
We get some great character development and a lot of good
action especially at the very end. You can really see how tactical or strong
the Rogues can be even if it’s a certain Crime Syndicate character they have to
fight. I also like how these characters will try anything to save someone they
really care about more than themselves. It’s like they are a real family.
The art in this issue is pretty impressive. I think it’s the
best art yet and mainly because it’s not from multiple artists like the other
issues. Scott Hepburn does a really good job especially on the action. There’s
great blur and elemental effects and I love the use of the color red for the
blood and anything else in this book. The art is really that great.
The Bad
Considering the Royal Flush Gang didn’t get any character
development I doubt anyone they will be up against will get any in the next
issue. I’m really kind of disappointed because this is the first time that most
of them are in the new 52 and it might not be a while to see them again. It’s
just as if they were a bunch of fill-in characters.
Verdict
I give this issue a 4/9 out of 5/10 stars. It’s a really
great issue that has great character development to the Rogues. You really get
to see their strengths and weakness or how far they are willing to go. The art
is very phenomenal here. There’s a lot of great action scenes that you will
love to see. The only disappointment here is that there’s no character
development to anyone they are facing and since that happened, it looks like
the next issue won’t either. Especially since they are facing new villains and
it’s the very last issue of the tie-in. But I think you should this pick this
issue up because it’s the best one so far and you would definitely want to tune
in the next one. Plus, it can maybe wake up DC to make an actual series to for
them because these characters are definitely a cast that deserves one. They
really need to make it happen.
