BONUS REVIEW by John "Doc" Schaefer


Finally! The Rogues are back together in the new 52 universe. And although, the writing team does their best, it's just the same. Back in the day, the Flash's Rogues were the best grouping of super-villains of any of DC's main heroes. And any gathering of them was worth plunking down your hard earned cash. Part of the problem is of course that these are different versions of the classic villians. And really who am I to say that Captain Cold's hoodie or that Heat Wave burn scarred body and chest mounted fire generator are any less ridiculous than the original Heat Wave white fire suit or the original Trickster's pointy walk on air shoes. The story itself has potential and groupings of the Rogues does follow suit with the original gang. Maybe I should let go of the past and enjoy the new take on these classic characters... Nah! Hoodie, bah!

I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams
