Final Crisis - Rogue's Revenge #1 - DC


Well the Rogues are finally back from Salvation Run. And this book is their reintroduction to Central City. And really, all they want to do is rest. They've been going non-stop ever since Bart was killed. Between running, being chased and Salvation Run . . they haven't had a moments respite. So they're ready to hang up their uniforms, holster their weapons, and fade away into the wood-work. Hopefully leading a quiet, normal life. But, you know what they say about the 'best laid plans'. Right when they're about to hang it up, someone breaks Inertia out of the stasis that Wally had left him in at the Flash museum. Of course it's all over the news, and when the Rogues hear it they decide there's one more thing they need to do before they quit . . kill Inertia! But that may be harder than they thought because the person who broke Inertia out was . . . Zoom. He says he wants to make him better. He wants him to be . . . Kid Flash. Huh?? I have no idea where that came from. The Pied Piper is also back, and he's trying to figure out what really happened to Bart. That's what's awesome about a Geoff Johns story. Between the dialogue and the personalization of the characters, he likes to throw little curve-balls in there when you're not looking. Also Scott Kolins does some incredible artwork for this issue. I know this is only a mini, but . . . it's going to be a great mini.
